Peas in a pod, Ryon and I are. The doc came to see him today and gave him a shot for his infection as well as some antibiotics. "Apple-flavoured" the label claims. Fat chance. We'll have to sneak it into his food to get him to take it. I'm proud of the boy though. Didn't flinch once during the shot and it was a biiiiig needle. Myself, I'm bone-tired. The past few weeks have been long ones and I've been noticeably more quiet in the office (although maybe a little more outspoken here). It's the kind of tired that asks for only coffee during the day please, no food for fuel necessary. Someday I'll rest, someday when I'm dead and buried or scattered and not even the wisp of a memory of me remains. Until then, books to read, people to see, horses to love on. Because that's the point isn't it? Of living? To do, to run things until exhaustion and then to push a little further beyond that. How will you know the limits until you test them?
This isn't meant to be a pity post or even really a tired post. It is what I've chosen and no whinging about that. I'll bury my face into a feather pillow some day. But today is not that day.
It's weird but I swear these things go in cycles for people. Everyone I know is tired at the moment. I was sat in the office yesterday and announced I was contemplating going to take a nap in a meeting room because I just couldn't keep my eyes open. But then everyone else chirped up and said they were all tired too. So a bunch of us went to the kitchen to make coffee and most of the other half of the office was there making coffee because they were also exhausted. Maybe it's something about the winter coming to an end? Who knows. So much tired.
ReplyDeleteYou know , I've always thought life is too short, and we can always sleep later.
ReplyDeletePoor Ryon and poor you. That photo is to die for. So moody and dreamy all at once. Been missing you. Back soon. XOXO
ReplyDeleteI'm suppressing the urge to write about the importance of sleep to your current (and future) health. It would be like a drunk talking about the dangers of drinking--more than a little hypocritical (but true). I hope Ryon responds well to the antibiotics and that your head hits the pillow soon.
ReplyDeletePS - hold onto your dreams, even though you're putting off the dreaming.
ReplyDeleteaww hope your boy is better soon, and yeh, they never taste like they say. Like, if it tasted good, it wouldn'r make you better haha. And your rest time will come. one day.
ReplyDeleteThese days of fatigue is really hard to beat. Afternoons where cups of coffee can't cure the promise of weekend. Hope you get some needed rest and relaxation soon.
ReplyDeleteHe really is a brave boy! I hope he will be better soon and that you can find some time to relax and do other things you enjoy! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI need to push my limits. I'm stuck in this rut of working at a job I don't like and coming home and going to bed at 9pm only to wake up and do it all over. Waah. I'm impressed with Ryon's fearlessness! A big needle at the vet sends Fitz into a tizzy! xo
ReplyDeleteI love to hear of healthy pets and the owners that take good care of them. :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems like everyone I know is dragging along these last few weeks. I'm blaming it on winter sticking around. The official start of spring is in a week or two, so we're close! I find myself all too often announcing minutes before bedtime, "I could use another hour or two!". There are truly so many things I want to do and read and take care of, but there never seems to be enough time to dedicate to all my passions. A friend of mine told me during our last big snow that she was bored out of her mind... I could hardly fathom that. I'd go wild with a few full days of freedom unexpectedly plugged into my week! I politely called her crazy.
Take care of yourself, gal! I hope you find a balance with all the things you want/need to fit into your day.
I have been tired this week, it has been stressful! so glad it is the weekend right now! have a relaxing weekend x

this week i have been feeling a little stuck in a rut myself. i just haven't been able to do anything creative, i try and then i just do the same boring tasks over and over. and i really have some creative work that neeeeeeds attention. i need to pull it together. i think the tease of a nice day and then the rain coming back kind of threw my off my game and just made me feel tired. xo (tell your sis it: it gets better)
ReplyDeleteis that really the point, to always do??
ReplyDeleteoh poor ryon. i can't even take needles. ugh. i hope all is well with him. and hope you get some zzz and recharge soon to get out of the funk!
ReplyDeleteI definitely know THOSE times. Too much to do to sleep....hope you can rest soon!
ReplyDeleteGet some rest this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteGet lots of rest this weekend and feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI totally recognize the feeling - I guess sleep is overrated..! :-D

I'm with you. The last couple of weeks have been long due to both work and fun things but it's a good busy. At least you are having a good time! I hope Ryon gets better!
ReplyDeleteI recently read an article that suggests that Happiness is not defined by any one single event or some kind of momentous occasions... those are isolated incidents... Happiness is instead, the big picture. It's a "mundane Wednesday"... and not just one, but a thousand "mundane Wednesdays"... and somewhere in the creases of contentment, we learn to live and be happy...
ReplyDeleteOr we try :)
i wish i had the mindset that you did. i think i'm in one of those denial zones where i act and think i'm still in college, and the pillows welcome me constantly. hopefully, that'll end soon. otherwise, i'm in trouble. ;) big needles are so not my friend. just ask anybody who has witnessed me get a shot. ay!
