elfsDespite going to bed at 10:00 the night before, I wasn't awake until almost 9:00. Eleven hours of sleep must have been the wrong thing to do, because I've been dragging all day. And it was quite a busy day.
For one thing, this is the one Saturday a month Omaha and I give up to helping maintain Kouryou-chan's school grounds. That means, you guessed it, gutter work for me and weeding for Omaha. We had one extra volunteer show up, and she helped garden. That was it.
Most of the weekend volunteers were on a different project, tearing up all the concrete in front of the elementary school building, to put in more greenery and a new walkway and all that. I watch two mothers from the school using a jackhammer and wondered, amazed, at what can be rented these days.
We were there almost six hours. We got home around four, showered, and I lay down briefly... and didn't get up again until seven. And I still felt like I'd been run over. Omaha and I made dinner-- she cooked, I chopped-- and we enjoyed some delicious (and pretty inexpensive) hard ciders. We played more Monopoly toward the end of the evening. Y'know, I should have introduced Kouryou-chan to this game before; the math is interesting enough to keep her going, and the scheming entertains her a lot.
Bleah. I feel like I should go back to bed, but after that nap I don't.
