After I post here I am going to do some pushups and situps. But today was absolutely not a slouch of a day, recall we planned to go to Canada and back in one day.
For one thing I had to contend with TWO failed printers at home, so I was up last night trying to get a printout of the alternate route to Canada.
After I finally got it printed I took care of some other pretrip things and finally went to bed at 3AM, slept for 2 hours and then headed up to Canada.
We left at 5:15 and we got there at about 9:30. I took a nap in Canada, then we left our relatives home at about 12:30PM ran some errands on the way and was home at 5:10PM, barely made it under 1/2 a day.
With less than 5 hours of sleep (none of it quality sleep), I needed a boost, so I drank a frappe from Tim Horton’s and also had a 5 hour energy drink. I was amazed it helped.
But less than 3 miles to home I was getting sleepy. I did drive the entire time but I was certainly beat.
Once we got home and unloaded I tried to rest but felt like I had to deal with the printers. So I went to Goodwill and found a used printer for $10 and got it working by replacing one of the ink cartridges.
I am beat no doubt, but it really helped that people avoided driving to Canada. The alternate route was different, I think it added 60 minutes overall to the trip.
