I Need a Rest

What a busy weekend! I had multiple things on the 'honey do' list, multiple engagements, multiple spontaneous plans and events, and, amazingly enough, I think I accomplished everything but one. WHEW! I need to go to work today to relax from the weekend. What's wrong with that scenario? The madness started right after work on Friday evening, and finished at around 11 PM Sunday night. Friday night was pizza making along with a couple of beers, some friends, and fire on the patio. The next morning involved a trek to the farmer's market on a quest for greens. Then, indirectly involved with my wife's garage sale while trying to keep our children, and the children next door, from breaking our junk that was for sale, and entertaining them. Following the sale was a mad rush to box up everything that didn't sell, and ship it off to Goodwill. This had to be accomplished before 4 PM, because we had a graduation party to attend. Made the graduation party in time, but prior to the party, we had to visit Nobbies to search for some last minute costumes accessories for a 5K run we were going to participate in. I know, you're thinking, "Costumes and 5K"? It's called the 'Dignity Run'. Leave your dignity at home, get dressed up, and run around Elmwood park in costume. What a blast! Some of the costumes were brilliant. That concluded Saturday, which was all I could muster the energy for anyway. Sunday morning was our meeting, followed by a trip to Louie M's for lunch. Came home, mowed the lawn, broke down a bunch of cardboard for recycling, took out the garbage, loaded tools on my truck for Monday, and snuck in a cat nap while watching a James Bond movie. Then off to a friend's house for a little wine and cheese party, and bidding farewell to another friend's little brother, who happens to live in Paris. That's France, not Texas. Just reliving the weekend long enough to fill up a blog, has me exhausted again. I may have to go back to bed.
