Kind of a Long Day

Sitting alone on the couch, watching "Pretty in Pink," my eyes are starting to slam shut.

It's been kind of a long day.  Good, but long.

And it occurs to me that I haven't heard a peep from The Princess in quite some time.

The poor kid just couldn't even bring herself to get into bed.  She fell asleep in a pile of Pillow Pets, and it actually took me a minute to locate her when I went in her room to see how she was doing.

I'm happy to report that The Princess has been relocated to her pink hippo tent, along with her Pillow Pet brigade and blankies.  They are all resting comfortably, and I don't think I'm far behind them.

Aftermath

Looking back on this December, it's no wonder it seemed to me like it's been on steroids.  In addition to the usual holiday stuff, I had my final two weeks of classes, followed by a graduation ceremony, smack in the middle of the busiest time of the year at work.

It really was on steroids.

I've been goin' 240 with my hair on fire since about a week before Thanksgiving, and I think my body's trying to tell me something.  This week, in the aftermath of Christmas, I've been ready for bed by approximately eight o'clock each evening.

I'm gonna go ahead and take my body's advice, in the interest of not completely burning out.  Stay tuned for updates about graduation, Christmas, and everything else that's happened this month.

Just as soon as I catch up on some rest.
