THE DAILY DIVERSION

The last couple of days have been a blur. I've been swamped at work, even more so than I really should be. I'm working on my project, while training one of our newbies, and getting things in order for one of our independent contractors. I know, it doesn't sound like much, but I feel like I've been put on "the rack" and have been pulled in multiple directions.

To make matters worse, I'm exhausted when I get home. Last night I was supposed to head down to the South Main Association's monthly meeting. Well, it was almost six when I got home, and I had a splitting headache. All I wanted to do was have a beer and lay on the couch with my eyes closed. So, guess which I did?

If you said changed clothes and went to the meeting, then you are dead wrong, and don't know me at all! Adrianne didn't get home until eight last night, and we barely had a little dinner. I was even too tired to make us a real meal. Hopefully, tonight, I'll feel like being a good husband and preparing her a plethora of delightful delicacies. I might have to take a nap while I'm home at lunch though!

Neither one of us could fall asleep last night. Adrianne was just uncomfortable and I was a little tweaked after finding a spider crawling on me as I was originally falling asleep. I'm not afraid of spiders at all, but I don't like things crawling on me when I'm at my most vulnerable either. So, I was just kind of laying there with my skin crawling, thinking about what those creepy critters could be up to next. Finally, I got up and put on some classical music, Gustav Holst's "The Planets", and fell asleep. It was probably midnight by then. I did get up on time this morning though, but was somehow still a little late. I think it was only five minutes though, so that's not too bad.

I posted the "RULE" of the day a little earlier, and went back and read through some of my posts from July. It's amazing that I completely forget about things that I've written less than a month ago. Am I losing my mind?
