Exhausted

Like the fellow above, but perhaps more so..... I am just exhausted.  It has been a long week of big voicing, and my body is exhausted, my mind is mushier than oatmeal, and my emotions are fully spent and the emotional turmoil is likely the biggest culprit to my exhaustion.

But, I am done TEACHING for the week, and tomorrow can be a day at my desk and in my research lab.  It will still be a helluva lot of work tomorrow, but at least my voice will not be taxed.  

It has been a lot of years, but still, given the right circumstances, I inadvertently can stumble into my old mindset of.....

"Wow, tomorrow is Friday, and I can mosey over to my father-in-laws have a beer or two and a pipe or two or three and unwind from the week with jovial talk and genial company."

It was such a beautiful routine and I miss that friendship so much with my father-in-law.  When reality rears its ugly head after that quoted thought..... the emotional downturn hurts.

I am going to go home tonight and plant some more herbs (basil, parsley, and mint) and some final flowers to fill our crockery.  HOPEFULLY my wife and will I swim in a bit, and I can plant afterwards.  

I will have to write about my cigar yesterday.  It was a different one, and it was what I would say is the most pleasant one I have indulged in.  But, it is NOT the same as a pipe.  And even though there was one friend there and one new guy who was talkative and nice.... it was NOT the same as talking with my father-in-law nor decades before that, my Dad.
