I am feeling quite old right now.  I guess that there are some very real factors that have come together to help make me fell this way.  Staying up so late last night and then getting up before 6:30 a.m. set me up to be tired.  Just having a long work week has tired me out.  Then the idea of Sunday sets me up to be relaxed and nap which does refresh me, but also seems to dull be up some because the most tiring thing for me is to do nothing at all.  Then we went to a viewing for the mother of a school chum of mine.  It had a double effect.  First, the line was the slowest ever.  My feet hurt, my legs were stiff and overall my whole body seemed drained by the long wait on my feet.  Then psychologically I realized how old I was being at a funeral.  Sure 'she' was much older (86), but of the family and friends there there weren't too many older then me.  All of this together just made me feel like I didn't have the energy to drive up to Kaysville so I party pooped.  I don't think that I have felt quite this old before.  I am really looking forward to getting to sleep tonight.


I am a little intimidated by the coming week.  I usually don't like 'things' pressing on my schedule.  I like it when I have little or nothing scheduled and I can just take things as they come.  But somehow this week seems to be full of stuff.  Its not bad stuff, just stuff that has to be dealt with.  I get tired dealing with stuff.  I've done that for decades.  I want to retire and not have stuff that needs my attention.  I want to rest.  I want to sleep all day.  BUT that's not reality, and that's not me.  Let it come.  I'll take it on.  I'll do what I have to do.  If there's 'stuff' so be it.  And I know that I'll feel better in the morning.  So, bring it on.
