I've been overdoing things lately

It really can't be helped - my housemate needs the care and I need to work. I'm working remotely so I can be home when needed but I really need to throttle down a bit.

This morning, instead of going for my walk I ran out to get *good* bagels and hit the grocery store for a few items. This was not the best idea too soon after waking up and no breakfast. I know I startled one of the workers when I cursed out the shopping carts for being stuck together (although no Bad Words were used.) I quickly realized that I was stressed out and took a few deep breaths.

And then, total surprise: the store music system started playing "Nantucket Sleigh Ride" by Mountain. OMG. I. Am. Old. For a moment, I felt the Universe had handed me a chill pill. Then, when leaving the store I got a glimpse of an almost clear, pre-morning sky. A moment of beauty.

Then I got *good* bagels. Nice. Salt and 7 grain. You buy a dozen and they give you 15!

I'm still burnt out and I know it. Hopefully, I'll take some time and actually relax this weekend.
