Yarn. Lynx. Fun. Birds. More. More.

LOL

I'm so tired this week, but not from all the fun we've been having.

We (yes, that's the royal pronoun) decreed a week of feminine mystique, otherwise known as perimenopause fun and games. I'm exhausted, but can't sleep for more than a couple hours. The first night it was something like an hour of sleep and I'd wake up, drenched, but shivering in a cold air-conditioned room. I'm exhausted, but jittering as if I were one of the salespersons in a Slumberland commercial, ingesting entire cans of coffee grounds. Three days of this sh**. And counting.

Anyway I am never so tired that I can't enjoy a great concert. 
muneraven blogged all about it; I'll just add that I love the Cliks. Subversive. Loud. Four musicians playing together so well you'd think they were one. Really good.

And I love the Lynx! I enjoyed them a lot last year, when they were losing so badly, but it is extra special to see them winning! OK, the last game was a little sad because they lost a second time to the same team. Oops. But they still have one of the best records in the league. And several really great players.

The hawk visited this morning. I can tell when it's the hawk and not a jay or some other screecher -- not only is its call rather distinctive, all the other little birds get very quiet. Even the cardinals. It's eerie; the yard is usually such a cheerful place in the morning. That really didn't help me get going this morning.

Anyway when I get in this space I get a little obsessed, and a little ADHD all at the same time. I miss my birds; I want to knit; I want to see more Lynx games, and I want more sleep. But I kinda can't concentrate too well on things that I really don't wanna do.

So ... fetch me some more yarn and turn up the music!

to 50 and beyone, lynx rule!, birds, knitting, the big count-down
