Drained

Image via WikipediaEver have one of those days where you just can't seem to wake up?  Not that you can't get up and function but more along the lines of the brain never becoming fully alert.  Today was one of those days for me.

I know why.  I haven't had any downtime for the last week or so and that really wears on me.  And I really hate not having a day to sleep in.  Yeah I know that I am whining and if I had kids, I would never had a day to sleep in.  Anyways, I did manage to get up and take a friend to court about 45 miles from here.  And I did go get my massage.  Those were my goals for the day with the exception of catching up on email and blogs.

Well it didn't quite work that way.  I got home around 1 to find the hubby resting his mind by playing a video game which meant that I didn't need to entertain him.  I grabbed my podcast and planned to kick back in my recliner to take an hour nap.  I don't think that I really slept very long at one time but I did manage to drowse until about 6. 

And my mind is just becoming active about 7 pm.  All in time to blog a bit and then go back to bed.

Do you ever have days where your body/mind just demands that downtime?  And what do you do if you aren't able to comply?
