Monday night.
Jun. 2nd, 2003 11:03 pmI was getting a little worried about myself last week because of my exhaustion levels. I worked, came home, had dinner, checked mail, fell asleep. This weekend I still didn't feel caught up on rest and free time. I realized today, though, that last week was the Sleepy Week. I get extremely tired and run-down for about a week every month or so. That made me feel a little better about it, and indeed, I'm not falling asleep in my chair as I'm writing this. Yet. :) Anyway, tonight we managed to leave soon after closing (we often don't get home until 6:45 or so, with putting up stuff for the night and counting the money and such) and we had a quick dinner at Wendy's, which meant that we were home and done with dinner by seven. I had an entire hour and a half of uninterrupted mail/LJ/etc time, which rather restored my need-more-slack-time feeling, and then I spent an hour and a half or so working on laundry and straightening up things. I even did a few shoulder exercises, which made me feel like I was cramming for an exam--I have a chiro visit tomorrow and I'd sure have hated to tell him that I hadn't started on the exercises yet! :)
So. I was productive, which made me feel all sorts of better, and I'm feeling less worn down in general. I guess I have a full work week again. I still can't believe I'm working! It's less sucky now, too. Everything is much more routine and I know how things work about as well as anyone else. Perhaps tomorrow I can run the vacuum and maybe we can even get some grocery shopping done somewhere this week. It's kind of hard to make a meal plan when one doesn't know how one will feel at the end of any given day. Course, you know how bad I am at making them to begin with, so perhaps this is just a transparent excuse, eh? ;)
We've been talking about replacing our digital camera, and I believe we've talked ourselves into doing so fairly quickly. There's nothing wrong with the one we have, really. Magnus bought it from a friend (newish.. the friend had gotten it when doing work for Kodak, or something like that. I don't remember the particulars.) in 1999, and it was of quite high quality. But well, it's four years and over 3,000 pictures later, and some of the cheaper cameras sold now can do about what it can. Time for an upgrade! Anyway. We want to pay less than $400 (less than $200 would be good.. grin) but it should be a really *good* camera. No point in replacing the one we have unless we get something significantly better. And if it happened to use a compact flash card like the one our Kodak DC260 uses, that would be excellent. (Not holding our breath on this one, but still!) So, if anyone has a particularly excellent camera in that range that you like, feel free to recommend it. I'm drowning in research at the moment. :)
