A Pepless Existence.

I know I haven't had any updates of genuine worth lately (well, besides yesterday's Mother Update. I've just been pretty tired, plus there...really isn't all that much going on. I work. I sleep whenever possible. I run errands. I read. Up until two days ago, I also watched old episodes of animated show called Avatar: The Last Airbender (the household all caught up two nights ago, and I genuinely miss watching it). I play WoW sometimes, and often I watch the Food Network, the Cooking Channel, or TLC (specifically Cake Boss) while eating dinner or hanging out with the roommates.

I haven't had the time, energy, or good weather for the photography I've been missing and craving. I haven't had the time, energy, or patience for work for Diplomatic Solutions or A Deeper Vision (Dad's and my backprint store, which is currently "under construction"). I've barely had the time or energy for daily blog or diary updates--in fact, I've missed the past two nights in my journal.

My days have mostly consisted of Starbucks, sleeping, and Sword of Truth (specifically Stone of Tears), with smatterings of bending and food-maker worship.

My dreams have been...interesting.

I have Sunday and Monday off, and I hope to refresh a bit and get some of my pep back. Lately, I've been feeling just...pepless. I slog into work, slog through work, slog home, slog around the house, slog into bed. Not surprisingly, getting a drink with espresso no longer does anything to help me feel chipper, not that I should have expected that it would keep up. I know that exercise would really be the best bet, but finding time for it is just impossible, let alone the energy to start.

Don't get me wrong--I'm not depressed or anything. I'm just exhausted, and slightly flustered about not doing anything much beyond working and sleeping. I'm hoping the next two days will help me reset, so I can pull myself together and be something else beyond a Tired Barista.

Wish me luck!
