Because I Can Only Type Short Sentences When I’m Exhausted

Today.
Woke up at 6:45 a.m.
Set up yard sale stuff.
Started yard sale.
Took Sam to soccer game.
Got Sam’s soccer picture taken.
Came back to house.
Finished yard sale.
Yard sale went very well. Sold my couch (yes!) and a few knickknacky things. Friends sold a bunch of their stuff, too.
Cleaned up, took shower, and drove to catering gig — a wedding at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church downtown.
Got home at 11:15 p.m.
Took shower.
Rocked Kate to sleep.
Ate some of Virginia Cofer’s AMAZING pork tenderloin that I brought home from the catering gig.
Melissa ate the piece of cake I brought her.
Had brief discussion about the lameness and predictability of Saturday Night Live. Even with Betty White as the host.
We then both fell asleep on the couch.
Woke up an hour later.
Typed this.
Then went to bed.
