home again for a while, at least...
My on-again-off-again travel schedule has now run its course, hallelujah. This past week I was at a conference of Christian librarians; I wasn't sure how it'd go, since I was going alone without knowing anybody, but it was good and I crossed paths with a few people from my Illinois library consortium, so I did know a couple of people. And while I made sure to do yoga daily and walk as much as I could, I was not as good about heeding a bedtime, so by the time I got home Friday afternoon I was beat. I slept for like 10 hours Friday night, got up on Saturday and did a couple of things, then decided the fatigue was too much and dozed for another two and a half hours or so. XD
Today I skipped church to see Endgame again--and let's just say that's not the best choice of movie if you're trying not to think about Father's Day. Heh. And it was way busier than that showtime on Saturday usually is, but it was fine. Then I did a couple of errands while I was out and apparently I was gone long enough that Maia was Concerned. When I went to take a shower, she followed me into the bathroom, then curled up on the rug and meowed plaintively until I either meowed or talked back to reassure her that I was still behind the shower curtain, LOL. Poor, worried kitty. <3
I found out on Facebook last night that another person from my high school graduating class has died. He and his brother rode the same bus as me, Bri, and Bro, though we never really hung in the same circles. I wasn't friends with him on Facebook, but a skim of his profile makes me think we would've gotten along... ah, well, too late now. There'll be a memorial next month; I don't know yet if I'll go. I should check in with one of my friends to see if she's going--maybe I can make the trip multi-purpose and catch up with her a bit at the same time.
I'm so terrible at keeping up with people. I'll mean to, but it just feels so exhausting to make the effort. Even posting here feels like so much effort a lot of the time, hence why I don't do it frequently. And lately (i.e., pretty much this entire year) it's felt like there's been so much going on and I'm just so mentally exhausted... I haven't written anything yet this year, which feels strange. I've contemplated a couple of things, but nothing has stuck persistently enough to budge the inertia.
Ah, inertia. That feels like it sums up my existence right now. But at least I'm kinda sorta reading books again... I'm currently on #23 of the year, which is all I managed for the entirety of last year. Granted, last spring I was still finishing up the Epic Fic, and in the summer/early fall I was prepping for that fanfic talk, so I was productive in other ways. Which I can't really say for this year--well, except for moving. That's kind of a biggie, lol.
