ok, maybe i got down to business too much
I am officially TIRED! As in, I need to RETIRE! Like, forever.
No, I'm not a slacker. In fact, I think it would be rather difficult to put "Delara" and "slacker" in the same sentence. But I have realized I really need a break. Although I have much more energy than I used to (thanks to Bally's and Pierre) and although I'm getting a lot done with a moderate amount of effort, I am just plain tired and am starting to feel it hit my health.
But how do you slow down a 50-car freight train moving at 100mph? Huh?
Honestly, I'm moving so fast that I have little time to think things through and end up making interesting choices these days (like buying 4 new pairs of shoes!?? even though they were all on sale...) and those choices tire me out too! Even my dreams make me tired. No joke - I wake up agitated because they're just WEIRD!
I'll stop whining soon, I promise. I know there are PUH-LENTY of people in the world much worse off than I, yadda yadda. And although I imagine I will always be moving fast in life and doing a lot, I would just love a moment of sanity to breathe easily and relish what is happening in the here and now in a restful way. A serene way. A balanced way.

oooohhh... i love the idea of a nap! actually, i might go steal 15 minutes on the tanning bed today. yes, i am one of "those" people, but i don't care. and i don't tan my face in the bed - just my body. and i love the nap i get to take!

Delara - what do you think about suggesting the entire national community take a nap for one month? I could sure use it. We'd have to make a big pact to get right back to work when nap time was over, though. Maybe THAT's what would get us struck by lightening... and apathy... and, okay... you and I will take naps, everyone else can keep building momentum.

he he - ocean, here i come! man, i have just been yearning to take a sabbatical for like a month. that's all i'd need - i'm not greedy! hawaii would be AMAZING!
and yes, abs - i agree. no rationalization needed for shoes. although i'm returning one pair because they're not comfortable, and surprisingly that's important to me.

you can never be in the wrong if everything you bought was on sale. period. end of rationalization process. especially shoes.

I recommend floating in the ocean to help achieve balance, get a brief break. What?! You have no ocean nearby? I have an idea....
