I think yesterday was maybe the quietest birthday I've ever experienced. I didn't feel like lifting a finger, much less partying. My energy level has taken a trip to the South Pole and left me just barely able to get about, and that only with intense effort. So I spent the day at home reading birthday wishes on Facebook and responding. I had bookoodles of them.
I maybe feel a little better this morning, not sure. Sometimes I think I do, and sometimes I just want to lie down. But anyway, I had to get the rest of my tax records together for my tax lady, so I had to come upstairs to the computer and decided while I was here I'd post a blog entry so you readers would know I'm not croaked. I''m not.
Did I say that I hate Daylight Savings Time? Well, I do. I think that is part of the problem this week. For some reason, my body and mind just don't take to springing forward. I recently read an article that assured me that is not my imagination. It turns out that daylight savings time is actually very detrimental to us physically and mentally, at least for many of us. I'm one of them.
Might I add that the article also pointed out that there is no longer any logical reason for daylight savings time (if there ever was). It does not save energy (in some studies, it actually increased energy use), and corporate farmers no longer depend on evening sunlight to do their work.
Come on, November!

More happy birthday greetings, my friend. Sorry that you've felt wilted and weary. I'm there with you for the most part and have slept until 10a for two of the four days we've been on DST and that's nearly unheard of for me.
I got a lenthy and pleasant phone call from DS1 so ended up having breakfast after noon. Strange day.
This afternoon I have bestirred myself to try to find an outer border fabric for a one block wall quilt for a friend. That meant finally going thru bags of fabrics from AMIL's sewing room so I could better move around here, smiling at some of the blocks she made and never got to finish, and feeling a bit sad once again at missing her cheerful presence.
Perhaps a good tonic for you would be to caress a bit of lovely fabric? It works for me even when all I do is sit, look at it, and feel the smooth hand good fabric has.
Big hugs!

A belated happy birthday to you. I totally agree with you on the whole daylight savings time thing. I hate it, hate it, hate it. We need to get our legislators on board. Feel better.

Happy belated birthday! I can't tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I can identify with you on so many levels...especially the lack of energy. Keep plugging away. I enjoy the pics of the quilts from your quilting group.

Good Morning and Belated Happy Birthday, Susan! I hope this next year will be one of better health and encouragement for you. Whenever I think of you and Blackberry Creek (still LOVE that name!), it is with very fond memories of you getting me started on UFOs. I miss those days. I bet my stack of UFOs misses me, too!

Does that guy think he is Pan? Only in New York probably!! I am sorry you feel so tired. My days come and go...some are good some are bad. Fatigue is depressing. I really get out when I have good days, and then come home and crash. Hugs
