this, that, the other

jaeclecticI've decided that I'm taking vacation days this Thursday and next Tuesday, in addition to the previously scheduled bereavement leave on Friday and Monday. This means that I don't have to panic about getting packed, and that I will have a day to recover after traveling back from PA.
I know people do this kind of thing, but I still feel like 8-10 hours of traveling is too much when you're only going to be there for a weekend. But, I think it will be good for me, as well as good for my sister. And I didn't really want to be there for a week, anyway.
Meanwhile, I am feeling absurdly tired. I actually lay down for an hour at lunchtime, which is unheard of. This may be the onset of a cold, or might just be the result of difficulty sleeping. For the past couple of weeks, I've been having trouble getting to sleep, and then trouble getting up in the morning, but slept through the night OK. Last night, I actually turned out the light around 10:00 and feel asleep fairly promptly -- only to wake up every two hours, all night long.
Anyway... I put in an unenthusiastic and rather short workday. (Rationale: other people went to the company picnic, so I could have taken the afternoon off, if I'd wanted to go to Mountain View and see the sack races. Yes, sack races. Just let that one soak for a moment.)
emmiepie stopped by and trimmed my bangs (yay! for home bang trim service, and particularly for not having to worry about having the Bozette the Clown look at my dad's memorial service).
And I will be heading to waltz class momentarily.
And I am NOT going to San Jose tomorrow. No good reason, I just don't wanna. I sent an email implying it was because of the travel, but honestly it's just a really big dose of don't wanna. Which is how I feel about my job 90% of the time lately, but that's another story.
In other exciting news, my weight seems to be down a tiny bit. I say this with great caution, because it has been bouncing around in a 5- or 6-pound range for, well, all of this year, and I've several times thought I was on the verge of actually dropping, only to have it bounce up again. And with travel coming up, that well may happen again. But still, it's a glimmer of hope.
All in all... I wouldn't say I'm at the top of my form, but I'm trying to take care of myself, and to keep enjoying the good parts of life.
