Last night was one of those evenings where I had nothing on the agenda. I relished every single second, not only because I got to come home and immediately put on stretchy pants but especially because I am still not feeling so hot and I needed an evening to do nothing but lie down.
Of course, once I got home and saw dishes in the sink and a pile of laundry that needed to be folded, I realized my lying down was going to have to wait. It might be a common problem or maybe it is my own special brand of crazy, but I cannot relax until my house is in order. Do you struggle with this? Anyone?
No?
Awesome.
So of course laundry led to dishes which led to hanging up clothes which led to cooking supper which led to more dishes. Finally, around 7:00 I sat down for an evening of TV hilarity, which I relished and savored.
But something still wasn't quite right.
I just didn't have that peaceful, easy feeling.
So I did what any good girl would do:
I made cookies.
Yes I did.
And I ate cookie dough too. And I loved it.
And by the time Seinfeld re-runs were on, all was right with the world.
But now I am on my way to the doctor's office because I have not been able to run for 2 weeks (I am actually disappointed about this. SHOCKING!) and my energy level is a -9. I am also pretty sure that a ginormous hay bale has lodged itself in my chest and last time I checked, hay bales were not part of our anatomy. Plus, I have the craziest week of work EVER coming up and I have to be on my A-game.
At this point, however, I would settle for my C-game. With an extra dose of spunk. If you have any extra spunk, please send my way.
And I will send you cookies in return.
Oh Sweetie - I will send some spunk your way ASAP! Sorry you are feeling lousy - hope the doc will fix your spunkometer, cause you are one of the spunkiest people I know!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I can't properly relax till the house is neat... or I used to be that way - four little ones later, and things don't bother me as much! ;-)
Sorry you still feel yucky. For spunk, I recommend a can of pineapple juice - available on the bottom shelf of the juice aisle at Kings. Drink the whole thing in a day or two, and it'll work wonders. Cheaper and comparable to a similar amount of Jamba Juice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking pictures on Sunday. You must have felt badly then, too.
Hey Seester -
ReplyDeleteI hope they give you a prescription that includes lots of sleeping and watching "Chuck" in your stretchy pants. And those were AMAZING cookies.
Hope you feel better soon!
Love,
Your Seester.
The spunk in our house comes from Baby Sarah who today thinks everything is funny. If I could bottle this and send it to you I would!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I completely understand your need for order before relaxing. That is why vacations are no good for me. I went, relaxed, had fun and now that we're home I'm tired because there is so much to do before I can relax...ah, life!
Anyway, I pray you feel better so work will be wonderful next week.
