Seriously, why am I so tired? Is there a full moon? I shouldn’t be this tired — it’s been a beautiful sunny week in August. I’ve been loving the hot temperatures, my tomatoes are finally ripening, it’s been gorgeous. Sure, I’ve been stuck working at home all week, but I’ve been doing that since mid-March. Why am I so tired this week?
Is it because I know it’s almost Labor Day and that summer is quickly coming to an end? I always get a little sad this time of year with the changing of the seasons. It’s because I know that the snow will be here much sooner than I want it to be. And it doesn’t help that everyone is talking about the return of pumpkin spice (gag!) to every single store — could we actually celebrate Labor Day before we start talking about Halloween??!?
And work has been really busy the past few weeks, like really, annoyingly busy. Now I’m not complaining really, I am grateful that I still have a job, especially now during this pandemic. But is it too much to ask to have a day with a little less stress?? A day where I’m not on the phone constantly? Please, I would like that, I really would.
And maybe all these things combined is the reason why I am feeling so tired on this Friday evening. But I better rally — it’s Friday night and that means we go out for outdoor dining! And I definitely don’t want to fall asleep in my beer…
