Day 12 - Tired but Calm

Well today was interesting to say the least. We headed to the studio only to have the keyboard player not show up because he forgot about the session! I had a feeling... one should always listen to those little feelings and follow through with checking them out. Ah... to live and learn, right?

Today I was deeply fatigued. Got up feeling that way after what seemed to be a full nights sleep. But it was hot last evening and we had to run the noisy fan. I felt brain fogged and bone weary. After we got home from the studio, I went straight to the bed and passed out for 1-1/2 hours. It was good I did that. I did not use food or coffee to try and wake up. I took care of my needs.

I am blessed to be able to do that. At work, years ago at one of my first accounting jobs, I had a little storage closet. I used to go in there and lock the door and pass out for 15-20 minutes. Ha... but it worked! Those were in the days I did not drink coffee.

Once I started on coffee, I thought the world was beautiful. It made me happy to be wherever I was. But after a time it began to have a wicked after-affect. It caused me to crave carbs - and not the good carbs mind you. I forget what year I started on it.. but I'm finally only on green teas and yerba mate. No more coffee caffeine. Sometimes I'll have a decaf.

I'm feeling over welmed again at all the housework I have to do and the constant cooking of our meals. It's crazy but if you want to be healthy and balanced, the best way is to make your own food. I enjoy cooking but man food is a mess! Lots of cleanup all the time. I get tired of it all.

I submitted a few of my songs to a country music contest today. And I had previously submitted to a couple of big song writing contests so I'm waiting for one of these babies to take flight.

Well I feel as if I'm just rambling away about nothing spectacular so I'll end this blabbing charade and go back to my kitchen duties. Sigh. Dear God... how about a maid? :)

I give thanks for my life and the good things in it even if I don't have a maid!
