Yup, I am tired.. went to bed tired, woke up tired.. more mental then anything I think..
So what to do about it.. Well the first thing to do is.. Move!
Stand, move, walk, stretch.. or sleep.. don’t lay down, don’t sit, don’t spend time in the house..
Get outside!
Fresh air, the sounds of the birds, if I could I would go for a ride (but its a work day and no one is home)
the good news is that its a me day on the farm, Dh has gone for a full work day and then he has his writers group meeting and so he won’t be home before bed, which means everything on the farm is set to my beat today..
Now at some point I need to come inside.. sorry but its true, I have inside chores and things that need to be done.. so in that case
Crank the music! tunes to get you moving! and ideally tapping a toe, singing along or even better, just bursting into dance!
Crank open the windows, air out the house, bring on the breeze, throw a pot of cinnamon vinager water on to simmer on the stove for the day, scent the house with fall!
Now on to food, in truth I want nothing, I’m not hungry at all today, but that will not do, but I know me, if I look at carbs on a tired day, its just going to make it worse! nope, today is a veggie and meat day!
Happen to have a awesome big beef steak in the fridge that I can use as my main meat source along with fresh still warm from the chicken laid them eggs for breakfast, the rest of the meal is coming from the gardens, as fresh and full of goodness as I can make it..
Including making myself some fresh tea’s with local honey to sweeten it up..
How do you deal with a tired day in your neck of the woods?




Visit with the animals usually works for me…but also looking at what I have and trying to simplify. Then making sure I’m eating right…or even eating. Often that is the source of my exhaustion.
Oh, and going to work. Compared to what I have to do on the farm sitting at my bench goldsmithing is easy-peasy. I call it my paid vacation.
