I'm sure every person reading this can identify.
Laying in bed in the middle of the night, exhaustion does strange things to your thoughts. You beat yourself up. You doubt yourself. Problems are magnified exponentially. You know you're being irrational, but you just can't jump off the spinning wheel.
When I got up this morning, I felt crappy - both physically and mentally. I did something I very rarely do. I went back to bed. Even upon waking the second time, I had no energy and no appetite. I knew I had to pry my feet out of the mud and do things to put myself in a better frame of mind. Having two dogs by my side, eager to go for a walk, helped get me going.
I ate lunch, got dressed, and leashed my dogs. Just getting outside and getting moving helped immensely. Four miles later, I was beginning to feel better. But I didn't want to go back in the house. So I put the dogs in the back of the car, grabbed my camera, and drove. Windows down, radio off.
The colors, while not peak yet, were very beautiful.
The pond in Broad Brook was very crowded when we got there.
Sami and Halle were very interested in the geese.
When they flew by the car, I thought Sami was going to jump out the window!
The geese kept flying away in large groups. I wondered where they were all going.
We watched the sunset before heading home for dinner.
My head is in a much better place now.
My body, though, has another issue.
Over the course of the day, I've noticed more and more little itchy bumps on my ankles, behind my knees...
I've had scabies before and suspect I may have picked up some of those little mites when I tried on clothes at the mall yesterday.
If it's not one thing, it's another.
