Running On Empty

I'm sorry I keep posting with sole regard to my lack of energy these days. I'm sure there are many more people who have even less free time than myself. Still, I have to say (and since no one really reads this blog, what does it matter right?) that I am TIRED! I'm at that point in life where three months vacation would not be enough to get you back on your feet again. How do you make it past the "I'm just barely getting by" stage? I have no clues, and for as many people as I have talked to, I have yet to find any answer besides take it one day at a time. Is this exhaustion worth my new found freedoms? Some days I would say no, but for the most part, yes, I do find it worth it.

In other news, I have been tired while at my cross stitch and even accidentally stitched an entire tree incorrectly. So much so that I had to go back and cut out all my work to begin again, which, I must say is no fun at all. Still, progress is being made. I thought of posting a picture of it tonight, but that would involve more steps than one, and that is just one too many right now. Hopefully I will get a post in on my work later on in the weekend.

Also, the cold weather has settled in here. And while it is normally chilly during this time of year, as of now it is 20 degrees below the average high, and that is just downright cold. The heater has gone up and I find it harder to keep the place as warm as I would like it. I wonder what my electricity bill will look like?? Accordingly, my hair has become more dry and full of the fun static we all know and love. I think I am going to take the advice of a coworker and buy a spray bottle to spritz on the cat beds (also full of static) and my hair so as to keep some moisture about the house. She sprays the water on her floors to keep up the humidity, but as I have all wood flooring, that trick will not work for me. I could buy a humidifier, but I will only resort to that if I get desperate.
