I’m super brain dead tonight, wrung out from a micro-manic episode in which I went through all my laundry to see what I could get rid of. The answer was not much.

It’s the first of the calendar year! While I celebrate the turning of the Wheel a little more frequently than every 365 (ish) days, I do also embrace the mainstream holidays as well.
What does this mean for New Year’s Resolutions?

I’m busting my hump at work to catch up this week.
It’s only Monday and my brain is already tired.
I can’t wait for next week.
Take your meds, folks.

I didn’t get home until after six this evening. Mr. Spock was quite upset at the lateness of his dinner. But if I want to catch up, as well as knock out the forty-five minute training as I did, staying late is a necessity.
I also have to go in by seven-thirty tomorrow morning. So I’m for bed here shortly.
I’m too burnt out to read. I wanted to get another chapter of The Talented Mr. Ripley read this evening, but my brain was having none of it.
And as for crafting? My hands hurt too much to crochet further. I’m gonna do one of the aftercare things Reffie taught me for my hands and take some anti-inflammatory meds.
So I guess that’s it. I’m going to bed and praying the weekend comes quickly.
Take your meds, folks.

Today was Mother’s Day in the US. It’s a holiday I quite rightfully have complicated feelings with. So I ignored it, slept in until after nine a.m. after getting up at six to feed Spock. And just generally chilled at home.
