Its Official - I'm Getting Older

So, its 9:16pm as I'm starting to work on today's blog. I am already too tired for it to only be 9:16. How did that happen?

On my trip to Savannah this past weekend, I remember feeling the effects of working too many long days and not getting enough rest. But last night I made a point of laying down in my bed at 10:00pm and I read a little bit before drifting to sleep. My alarm was set for 7:22am (I don't like to wake up at normal minute increments) and so let's say I fell asleep by 10:30 - that puts me at almost 9 hours of sleep. I felt a little less cranky this morning as I'm NOT a morning person by any interpretation of the term. But here it is....9:19 now and I feel like i could be in bed writing this blog rather than at my favorite coffee shop typing away.

I even went to the gym today - i was under the impression working out was a way to feel more energetic. I'm just sore. Oh well - maybe the energy comes after you've proven to your metabolism that you are more serious this time, and you will work out consistently instead of...well, haphazardly. :)

I guess i'm not 19 anymore. Or hell, even 22. Its weird, this little signs we get from the universe that remind us that age does impact us and we can't deny it. Not that we can't be energetic anymore, but just that it takes more work on our part to put our bodies and minds in positions to be more energetic. I'm working on that this year - trying to get back to a good place where i feel more awake.

Honestly, awake would be nice.
