Exhausted

Leave a comment

I have gone as far as I can go today. I’ve been pushing the body beyond its limits the last few days, maybe weeks and I’m tired. Like this old car, it won’t venture far from its garage tomorrow. Maybe to the gas station (dinner table) and back to its stable (couch).

Exhausted comes in many forms. I can think of 3 that I’m drained of now. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. I’m sure some rest can cure all 3 if I could just rest. I’m giving it a fair shot today because I utilized a sick day.

I probably should have used it early in the week to fight the sinus infection but I worked through it and now it’s still hanging around. Just one of many issues that enter very busy days. Holidays aren’t stressful, life is.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • I’m trying very hard not to look at the cold weather in a negative way. It’s much easier when I’m inside.
  • If you look at the number of people that drive around at night or in driving rainstorms or both without their lights on it’s a small example of why this country has the problems it does.
  • The U.S. has some very serious problems to work through. But instead of talking about it all we do is hurl hostilities at each other further dividing the issues. If we don’t stop soon, something more deadly might be hurled.
  • People both inspire me and depress me. I’m trying to look at the first more and ignore the second.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
