Nighty Night

I am worn out for no good reason today. I've spent the last two days in a leadership class at the D. Well, I guess that does explain why I'm so tired! Back to the office tomorrow and then the weekend off.
I also know that my body has a cycle (yes, THAT cycle) and this is the time when I'm really tired and usually develop a monstrous headache...yup; there it is. There was a time that I would be so frustrated with this headachy tiredness but I've come to embrace it as just part of what I am and stop fighting against things that are the result of this frustratingly human body I occupy. Nowawdays, I just take these predicatable days in stride. I put on my jammies and go to bed early. On the bright side, being a lifelong insomniac, the deep sleep I get for these nights is a treat! Actually, I haven't had insominia for a few months but I still appreciate a good night's sleep.
The Mr. is off to pratice tonight so it's a good evening to hunker down with a blanky and drift away in front of the television before I climb into bed officially. I went out to dinner with some friends and then to Old Navy to bum around and buy flip flops...2/$5! Now I'm in for the night and about to wash my face and brush my teeth for the much anticipated sofa nap until bed time.
I love the getting-to-know-yourself that comes with age. I used to say, "I'm so exhausted I don't know what to do!" Well, at forty one I've figured out what to do. I'm gonna go to sleep.
With age comes wisdom they say.
Good night, sweet dreams.
