With Total Exhaustion Hitting at 5 p.m. Last Night, I Revved Up the Engines and Decided to Grill for the Week

There really was no excuse to sit still, which is why I think I wanted to sit still. Leo and I attended the Senior Day volleyball game with Noey, Patty-Ann, Marley, and Phil (they won in three) and then we stayed around for the family picnic, which took forever as the girls had to shower and do themselves up for their families. By the time we got home at 4, Leo returned to Milford to nap and I sat in my house thinking, "I really could go to bed." 

The temperatures were warm yesterday, and I know the cooling comes this morning (with the unlikelihood of it getting that warm again until spring). That, and the dark by 5 nights simply pulled my energy level to an all time low. I knew, however, that I needed to do something to kick myself in gear.

So I grilled for the week. I turned on the back porch lights like it was summer, played with Karal by throwing sticks and toys, and put sausage and chicken out for the week. If I have the meats cooked, then I can mix them with other veggie dishes throughout the week, including some Indian ones I've wanted to try, as well as some soups. 

Seriously, though...I hate when I get as tired as I was last night. I'm so used to go...go..go...that when my body does slow down...forces me to slow down...I get perplexed. I couldn't stop yawing. 

We had goals for going out to dinner then to a bar to hear a band, but I knew everyone would cancel, especially since they have me by ten years and are even more tired than I am. I've learned in the past, that if something isn't started during daylight, no one is likely to leave their house. And I get it...I didn't want to leave my house last night and didn't.
