Tired

It has been one of those weeks when I just want to put the covers over my head and sleep. Last week, I felt so good. I was getting things done and starting to catch up on projects (home - not work). This week is just lost. I haven't been able to read a newspaper, stay awake, read blogs, or send personal email. Even my walks with Elston have been less enjoyable.

On the bright side, I have vacation days in the next three weeks, including a trip to Illinois planned. I've spent some quality time with friends. I started working on a writing project. I've also thought more about how I am going to handle some difficult situations in my life.

Meanwhile, I have two important questions on animal life. One, why would robins take a bath in a muddy puddle? Doesn't it defeat the purpose? Second, what kind of animal is acting crazy on the roof above my head. I am almost scared to step outside to look. It sounds like a pack of squirrels building a social club. If so, I wonder if they can take the girl next door hostage.
