Over Thinking

arfie

I slept about 14 hours through beautiful weather yesterday. As much as I hate missing beautiful weather, I plugged in a DVD and collapsed on the couch after an hour or three of spinning in circles with if's and's but's and maybe's on every item on my To-Do list.


This morning finds me wondering if over-thinking is a symptom of exhaustion. Life knows I have too much on my plate these days after I don't know how long of wa-a-ay too much free time on my hands. Oh for the love of balance. . . I must have needed the sleep because it sure was nummy.


As I wake my brain synapses for another day, I find myself over-thinking again. This coffee mug or that one? One sugar or two? Do I sit in this chair or that chair. Options, options, options. . . Which option is best? Why can't life be simple?


Got hugs?

Life can be simple, Arfie, but the darn thing is never *easy*. I'm sorry. The brain buzzies have me. Hamsters on wheels spinning away and going nowhere, but stillllll spinning.

It's always a wonder what a good nights sleep can do to my thinking.

((Biggest coffee mug is always my choice...))

You have been super busy Arf...... I think our bodies tell us what we need and I love a load a sleep..... My mind whirls at times as well.... I agree with the biggest coffee mug and the comfy chair!!.... Big squishy hug....xo

I know what that feels like, I'm actually really glad to hear you talk about it.. I think it makes us all feel less alone to know we're going through the same thing.
We will all get through it. Without a doubt.

Did better today. Got me a long, luxurious nap and woke to a gently productive afternoon. Was kinda inspired by a DJ story about a woman who was being interviewed for her 104th birthday and said her secret to a long life is chocolate and naps. I am testing rice pudding and naps.

Thanks for the support, guys. It really does help to know I am not alone.

I slept all day last Saturday, arf. Just exhausted. You're not alone in this, either. Glad you got some rest, too.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
