I'm so tired

Wow. It's amazing how unstable the whole process can be, euphoria one week and exhaustion the next. I don't get it, but then that's not really a new experience so I suppose I shouldn't feel discouraged by the shock of feeling so tired.

It's funny. I'm a people person with very few friends. Or maybe that isn't the reality. Maybe the reality is more something like...heck, I don't know. I just know I seem to thrive on connection, and when there is no, true, intimate connection to at least one person in my life, I feel a little adrift. Like now.

Ah, well, nearly 44 years (I'll be 44 on the 25th of this month) have shown me that, like most things, this too shall pass.

I'm going to Chicago on the 28th to congratulate my daughter for making it through basic training. I am very proud of her for finding the inner fortitude to make it!! I don't particularly look forward to flying, but at least I don't have to spend the time with her father and newest step mother. My ex-mother in law is going, and we're sharing the hotel room and a rental car, but that's cool. I've always loved my ex-mother in law, so it's all good. Also, I am sooooooooo blessed by the fact that my auntie and my grandmother have offered to pay for the trip. Wow!

I'm going to go take a nap now...
I am currently Exhausted
I am listening to my eyelids try to keep up
