arthur_p_dentWell, I'm glad I didn't *promise* to be on time this week. I was way too zonked yesterday to formulate anything coherent though, so here we are.
Curling was great. I had a match against one of my favourite people in the league, and if the strategic battle and good-natured "trash-talk" weren't enough, my team pulled out another victory as well.
No day off Friday because I had to make preparations for inventory on Saturday. That ended up being a much longer day than I thought it would be, and much longer than it should have been too. My evening plans fell through, but the day took so much out of me that it was probably a good thing - I wouldn't have enjoyed myself or been good company. I did go out on my own for a late dinner and a couple drinks, and I was able to decompress and rest up for a busy Sunday of chores.
The days since the weekend are a bit blurry. I haven't felt "sick", but I have had a number of periods where I've felt the same kind of tiredness as when you're sick. Today was somewhat better, but it is starting to creep up on me again. I did get to have lunch with my very good friend today and we exchanged gifts (she did an excellent job selecting a very nice whiskey).
Coming up - well, the holidays are upon us. I'm not really feeling much spirit this year, and I kinda wondered why that was. I think, and this will sound quite cynical to some, that it's really just become "one of the two days a year when I cook a turkey". It's just my in-laws that we do anything with anymore, which doesn't help.
Next week I'll have an additional post with a year-end review of my goals, and what changes I want to make for 2024. I may even enlist some assistance from folks around these parts - I have some ideas, but not entirely sure I'm going to put them into action.
For now I'll call it a night. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season full of family and friends. =]
