I'm not depressed...
I'm not I'm not I'm
not...
So... why have I been behaving as if I'm depressed... eating too much, not exercising, not blogging...
Uh... I don't know. I don't FEEL depressed, but maybe I am. So yesterday, I decided to behave as if I weren't depressed. It took me a while, but I decided if I weren't depressed, I would go hiking and then blog about it. So, when a student cancelled out of an afternoon session, I went hiking.
Man, am I out of shape. I was huffing and puffing in the flat part of Santa Ynez Canyon, after so short a hike and so little altitude gain, I'm embarrassed to tell y'all about it. But-- I was rewarded. I got to stand and watch a mule deer doe grazing along the side of the canyon. She stayed in view for five or ten minutes. Graceful, she was, and only moved her head as she chowed down on tender new sumac leaves so that often it was hard to make out her outline against the chaparral and stone that matched her color so closely.
I don't often see such large animals, especially not on a Saturday afternoon when all the families are out, yelling and romping down the canyon. But this graceful lady seemed to know that the noisy humans were no danger. She would pause, get the best leaves off of one sumac then move delicately to the next. She finally wandered over the rim of the canyon and out of sight.
And no one else stopped to watch her, even when I pointed her out.
Sometimes, I just don't get people.
As for why I didn't blog yesterday, I was too tired to type. Even today, I'm still wiped. I hope I can get enough rest to go back to SecretaryLand tomorrow.
