A short post tonight (amazing, I know!).    I’m pooped, but it’s still good.   Usually on Fridays I’ve been so exhausted after teaching Science class in the morning (at my house) that when the students finally go home about 12:45 all I can think about is lunch & a very long nap.  And then I’ll take a 2-4 hour nap!  (After 12-14 hours of sleep!)

Last Friday was better & I only napped about 1-1/2 hours, but today I’m excited that I only took a catnap while watching my son & his friends–for about 45 minutes! I could hear them playing Zoo Tycoon: The Complete Collection on the computer & it was fun listening to my little 8yr old zookeeper explain how important it is to keep the animals happy & how you go about that monumental task.   I really enjoyed putting my feet up in the recliner & not having to move for a while, as well as feeling well enough that I didn’t immediately pass out & miss the fun.

I was doubly surprised since I took the kids to the pool after classes this morning & we played there for about 2 hours, then came home.  So even though I’m thoroughly whipped, I don’t feel that fatigue that would just suck me down until I’d literally fall on the couch or bed & sleep for hours.

My life is coming back to me now, slowly but surely.  (Yes!  I said surely!!  I need all the pep talks I can get–even from myself!)   ;-D
