Fabulous Friday - 20 April 2018 - That's What She Read

We should always find ways to celebrate the little things in life. What better day to celebrate these little things than the best day of the week? So, here are the things that make this a Fabulous Friday for me this week.

********************

LONG WEEKEND – Back when I first received the competition schedule, I took off this Friday and upcoming Monday because the competition is in Iowa again and I wanted to make sure we had time to get there and relax and plenty of time to come home and unwind. Then we received the schedule of events for the weekend. It turns out I don’t have to take off either day because the competition does not start until Saturday and it ends much earlier on Sunday than we expected. However, I took those scheduled days off anyway. I am tired. More tired than I ever thought possible, and it is not of the physical variety. I am mentally, emotionally, spiritually and any other -ly exhausted. So I am going to use these two days to immerse myself in solitude, sleeping, and doing pretty much whatever I want until such time as I have to be an adult again.

What makes this a Fabulous Friday for you?

I am starting to hit a wall again myself. I had a few good days where I didn’t feel like dying, but I can tell my energy is about to nosedive again. I hope you do get rest. We don’t have too much going on this weekend. There is a choir performance and volleyball practice but all we do for those is drive her there.

I am also just tired of the routine. Something needs to change. I feel like I should be doing more with my life.

I understand completely. I am really glad that I have another day off on Monday. It should allow me to feel better after the weekend. I also know how you are feeling about the routine. I don’t feel like I should be doing more. I just want to be doing less actually. I’m tired of being so busy.

Thanks, Jenn! It is much-needed. I was getting bad; I could function but no one wanted to be around me and I didn’t want to be around them either. It isn’t depression. It is a complete need for isolation and introvert recovery.
