I normally bathe and crawl into bed, and rest for the rest of the night. We had company coming, and I had dropped alot of prep food on me, and the floor, and the cat. I was hot, sweaty and needed to be more presentable (oh the vanity) I thought a shower would be quicker than a bath, and I have that new shower head. it wiped me out!

I laid down for about an hour before anyone arrived. I even nodded off for 20 minutes. That helped. I spent the first hour of their visit wobbly, and unsteady. Everyone chipped in when I said I simply couldnt stand at the sink long enough to wash the dishes just yet. The men got up and cleaned the kitchen. That helped. I sat as often as given the chance. I allowed my husband to play butler, instead of me playing hostess. All worked out well, and we even had surprise guests who saw our companies car and couldnt wait to party crash to see them again. I ended up with a house full that stayed longer than I would have liked, but as long as I kept sitting I was manageable. After they left, I collapsed in bed, and slept for 10 hours.

Its been very hot here in the 90s and we are not used to that stuff here. Three 90 degree days are considered a heat wave, and folks take precautions in these woods. I guess next time I will just wash my face, and pull back my hair, and go to bed stinky. it wasnt worth the energy drain, when powder and a fresh face would have sufficed.

Thanks for the support.
