Every Other Day Woman

 Saturday, I went to town, I'm writing this on Sunday. I'm writing because I want to talk about being tired. 

This is what I did on Saturday:

Drove to town in my new and very comfortable car -- about 14.5 miles, which, according to Google, should take about 21 minutes. 

All the places I visited, except the post office, are on the same street, not far apart:

First, I drove to Walmart's drive-thru pharmacy and picked up my medicine. 

Then to Save Mart, where I picked up my favorite buns, baked in the store, and some other things, but not much.

I saw my friend Jeanne in the store, but didn't stop to talk, just said hello, hopefully I will see her soon. 

Then I said, "Hello Stephanie," to this young woman who works in the store, she said, "Samantha," or was it the other way around? I will not remember her name until I write it down on a piece of paper. 

I've discovered that old age can be funny too. Which is a very good thing.

Since I don't have a washer during the winter, due to it being in my shed and the water pipes that go to the shed freeze in the winter, I take my sheets and towels to the Cleaners in town. 

I've become friendly with the women who work there, they do a great job of washing my sheets and towels. They even iron my sheets, which is not necessary, but still nice. The rest of my laundry I wash by hand. 

After the cleaners, I drove to the post office and picked up the mail from my box. There were two packages, those I picked up from the counter. I don't think I stood in line at all. One package was small with medical supplies. 

The other was large as it contained my walker. A nice woman who works at the post office carried it out to my car. 

Then I drove the 14.5 miles back home.

I don't think I did a whole lot of things in town, certainly not enough to be this tired today.

I had a good night's sleep, but still, today I'm completely exhausted, so very, very tired. I took Faith outside and encouraged her to play the - Run Around the House - game.

Which she did a little bit of, she prefers to play it when I drive the car on the road that goes around our house. Then she runs and runs around the house, so cute! Today, I was too tired to even drive the car around and make Faith happy.

I've started to think of myself as an Every Other Day woman. One day, I'm fine, driving to town, running errands. The next day, I'm completely and totally exhausted. 

I'm sure I will feel rested tomorrow, which is good, since I have a lot of things going on here at home. 

More about that in another post.
