The sun barely came out today, which suits me just fine. I am enjoying this “no sky July” as the weatherman puts it. We have been having a rather mild summer here in Oakland, while others have had fires, and now,………..floods.
It’s so weird how we are part of the same country, yet worlds apart.
This morning I officially checked out of the “Hotel Cat Sit”. I scooped the litterbox one last time, refilled their food and water bowls, and high tailed it out of there, back to my home sweet home. I will be sleeping in my own bed for the first time in 10 days I think, and I am tired.
I didn’t realize how tired I was until I got settled in. Yesterday turned out to be a rather stressful day at the office and today I felt hungover. I wasn’t very productive besides answering some work emails and doing two loads of laundry. I didn’t even go on my walk. I was so tired that I ordered delivery via Door Dash because I have no food in my apartment and didn’t have the energy to shop. And then I realized when I filled out my timesheet for work- I hadn’t taken any time off this month. I know that might seem like not a big deal, but before menopause, I took at least one day a month off, ha ha. And I needed that day to recharge. Looks like I am going to have to continue to have my “that time of the month” day off, even if it’s not a sick day. Well, it sort of is- how about a sick day for my emotional well-being?
I was so tired today that I didn’t take any pictures. And now I am wondering what I should watch tonight. Stranger Things or Downton Abbey or something new? Decisions…..decisions.
