Ugh. My truck runneth over (my head and body). Those maniacs totalled me yesterday, and like an idiot, I went on to a party that kept me out into the wee hours.

I'm too young for this crap! Dangit, I had a blast! Now I must pay.

Eva, the sad part is, I have less than 10% of the energy I once had. Sometimes I wonder if it was really me hiking, walking miles and miles in a day. Or schlepping 75 kids around a park all day, or working 20 hours straight and going right back to the office ready to jump back in every morning. She died! I miss her.

Beethoven went deaf, my hallmark was unquenchable exuberance and abounding energy. Once in awhile, I just have to unleash it for fear of emotional suicide. I assure you, I will regret it a little for a few days. But, I maintain, it was worth it.
