Day three - short and sweet

I'm so excited that I've only been blogging for three days and I have seven followers already! Even if you don't read everything I post, you're a HUGE boost to my ego. Thank you!

It's been a long day today - left the house at 7:30 this morning and got home a little before 10 this evening. I was at both jobs today and my body is tired.

When I was in my 20s, I worked 40 hours a week at one job, 20 - 25 at another, and for quite a while, my commute was 38 miles one way.  Now that I'm in my thirties, I work 40-ish hours at one job, and FOUR hours a week at my second one. My commute is about 40 minutes, and for all but about five of those 40 minutes I'm sitting down, usually reading a book. But for some reason my long days just take it out of me.

I wonder what happened. I hate to think that this is just the natural progression of aging - that the older I get, the less I'll be able to tolerate long days. I hope that I'm just out of practice. I have a birthday coming next week and I'm not excited about it at all - maybe because I'm starting to feel like I'm old.

I think what I should do is get myself back into practice. I should start going out more during the week, and exercising more regularly, and stuff like that. Instead of turning a year older next week, I'm going to suspend things.

But in the meantime, I'm ready for bed...
