Treading Water
The last two days were just a wee bit hectic - long work day followed by a house call Monday; long work day, voting, and hosting tabletop game yesterday.
I'm glad I voted, though I'm sad at how things turned out in my state. And I'm selfishly amused at the woman staffing our polling place who commented about how nice it was to have 'young folks' like me out voting; I felt a bit like I broke her heart when I told her I was over 40 years old.
And I'm glad I mustered the energy to make dinner for our gaming group. Feeding people is a goodness, and half of why I like hosting our game is the chance to cook for everyone who comes over. I don't have the energy for multiple courses or desserts right now, but at least I can put dinner on the table.
Energy-wise... middle of the road. I'm making it through the work day, and I'm not afraid of dozing off behind the wheel quite as much, but I'm nowhere near normal. As long as I'm engaged I can keep moving forward, but as soon as I slow down I run out of steam and fall down, and I have zero energy reserves. My doctor said to call him after ten days off my meds; by my count that'll be Friday, and I don't know what to tell him. I'm... a little better? Maybe? Maybe this is as better as I can get; maybe this is just normal for my age and activity level; maybe this is something worth investigating further. I don't know; I just know that I don't like it.
Today has been mostly downtime for me, at least. My plans cancelled last-minute, so other than an hour or so of work emails and phone calls I've had the day to myself. Working out, spinning yarn, mani/pedi (which mostly means an hour or so to read), and running errands. Hoping to have enough energy to make it to silks class tonight. Thankfully, we have leftovers for dinner and I'm doing house calls tomorrow, so I don't need to worry about cooking or packing bentos later tonight.
Right now, though, my hardest decision is whether to spend the next hour reading or spinning....
