It might not suck so bad
Birthday parties may not suck so bad. THE PARTY is coming up on Saturday. The wife talked to a friend who is a chef and caterer who will provide the eats. Yea! We bought the wine last weekend! Yea! She ordered the B-day Cakes (that's and S for plural, more than one). YEA! Most everyone can make it. Double YEA!

YEA! YEA!

So why do I feel so crummy?

I've missed yoga for almost a week. That might be part of it.
I had jury duty yesterday. Never called for a trial, but we had to sit... and sit...
and sit...

and sit...

from 8:30 until 4:30...
Nothing to do but try to read, work a big Sudoku, and talk to 'interesting' people. I felt like I was in a big jumbo-jet to nowhere. So yeah, the jury duty might be part of it.

I feel exhausted. Yesterday, I thought i woke up with a good night's sleep, but I was lethargic to the point of brain malfunction. I went home. Crawled into bed. And over the tearful objections of the wife, I slept until the alarm went off this morning.

I feel overwhelmed. We're just not used to throwing a party. So this one is turning up ALL the party throwing anxieties we both carry around with us. The wife seems to have just a few more of these than I do. I woke up Sunday thinking, "I'm not going to get caught up on sleep for another two weeks."

I sure fixed that, didn't I? Nothing like a near-total physical collapse and subsequent coma-like sleep to get over sleep deprivation.

And then there's something else, but I'm not going to talk about that right now.
...

that's enough for now.
