#2988 - pdin 7 - boosted & bushed

mood

I don't know what it is about Fridays, but I always feel totally burned out and border-line exhausted when I get home on Friday night. Actually, it's not exactly true that I don't know why I'm so tired on Friday night. I stay up too late. I start writing or drawing, practicing languages with Duolingo, or otherwise playing on my phone and suddenly it's 11 PM. By the time I take out my contacts, brush my teeth, let the dogs out and crawl in bed, it's 11:30 or later, then I read for a bit. The next thing I know, the alarm is going off at 5:30 AM. It's not ideal for being good at anything. That's probably why I feel so good on Saturday and Sunday: I get a longer sleep!  In less than 40 days, though, I won't have to set that alarm for 5:30 AM Monday through Friday. 

Tonight I went to the pharmacy and got my Covid booster. I had a flu shot before my trip, but the Covid wasn't available yet. I would prefer to skip the virus, if possible, and the shot seems like a reasonable thing to do. 

I don't have any big plans for the weekend. I'd really like to finish the new Dan Brown book and spend a bit of time playing around in my travel journal. There's bookkeeping to be done, and laundry, and of course sweeping and dusting. The house requires daily sweeping. Other than that, MT and I have some paperwork to do for the property we are buying in Pocatello. Maybe I'll pop some popcorn and watch a movie tomorrow night. T and MT have been watching Succession on the TV downstairs, so I might have to watch a movie in my room. Who am I kidding? I'll be probably be right here at my computer looking at Pinterest, writing in my journal, and dreaming about where I want to go next. It's not a bad way to spend an evening. 

All right...it's 8:30 pm. Here's hoping I'm in bed by 10:00, and shut down by 10:30. No alarm needed tomorrow!

Good night!
