When your whole day feels like an eyeroll...

Hi.

Sidebar: One thing you'll quickly learn about me is that I'm an absolute stickler for greetings. Even to myself, so it will be a rare occasion that I just launch into the thought of the day.

The infamous "they" say if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, get back in and get up from the other side. Well what do you do if you tried that from all 4 sides of the bed and still feel "meh"? That was me today. Just felt like a walking eyeroll. Nothing happened to put me there; no bad or weird dreams that I can recall. Just the blahs got me and held on tight all day.

I ran some routine Saturday errands. Did some housework/ chores. And I was even able to take a nap, which usually works wonders for me , but even my midday nap was unable to shift my energy. I'm on grandma duty, and love my grandkids, and they've been surprisingly easy to manage today. I tried to keep my eyerolls to a minimum with them, and think I did mostly ok. Then I remembered this whole rhino challenge and that made me roll my eyes again.

So here I am; grandkids in a fort made of blankets and pillows around the couch, and I'm taking a few minutes to do some light soul searching to see if I can pinpoint the source of this eyeroll mood.

When I think back over the week, I was running around quite a bit. I started a new workout program that felt do-able in the midst of it but then I recognized I was experiencing soreness everyday afterward. I'm preparing for a trip to Arizona in a few days, and I'm excited and a little anxious about that. And did I mention I'm on a 3 day fast? Cue Arsenio Hall saying, "things that make you go 'hmmmmmmm'..." (And insert yet another eyeroll!)

Well Detective Cooper, seems like you have just solved this "whodunnit". And it makes sense that you're feeling blah and rundown given all that.

Ahhhhhhh....Just doing that quick reflection brought some relief. That, and hearing my granddaughter sassy-singing Lizzo's "About Damn Time" (we changed it to 'About THAT time' so she's not cussing at 2 :) ) from the couch fort. Now I feel like a different emoji:
