I'm Tired and a Bit Stressed - Nothing Unusual There at All - LOL

Happy Monday to all of you. I didn't get a good night's sleep - too many thoughts of the logistics of closing the shop clogged my brain, and I awakened earlier than my 4:00 am alarm. So I had a nice meditation session to get grounded, followed by 45 minutes on the treadmill. Now I'm writing this, and then I'll get moving. I'll be tired tonight, but that's not a bad thing. 




The fact that I'm tired probably won't really 
hit me until late this afternoon. My brain just 
won't stop whirling around the various 
things I need to get accomplished this week. 



I've always been someone who operates on minimal sleep. That "eight hours" of sleep is a rarity for me, and usually leaves me feeling sluggish. I'm more a 5-6 hours of sleep person, and I function quite well on that. I think I got about four hours last night, however, so I'll probably be dragging by tonight. 




The only item that rings true for me on the list of 
Common Reasons is the third one - stress and 
anxiety. That's not uncommon for me, but it's being 
amplified right now and will be in high gear until 
after we get the store completely shut down. 



We spent an enjoyable evening last night watching Public TV, ending with "Maigret" - a new series for us, set in Paris. I've been enjoying the character and the plot arcs quite a bit, so this one is a winner for me. Our public TV station has had some interference with their signals lately, however. Little buzzes and skips in the program. Nothing major, a minor annoyance, but I find it interesting that I'm only getting this on Public TV, not on any of the other stations or networks we watch. Hmmmm ..... 




We've been enjoying "Maigret" on PBS. It's a new series for 
us, a detective series on Masterpiece. I think there are four 
episodes in the first showing, and we've seen the first two 
so far. Good cast, and it's set in Paris, which is also fun. 



So, anyway, my brain is a bit muzzy today and I hope I won't have to come up with any major conversations or ideas. I'd like to float through today to the best of my ability - LOL. I hope your Monday goes smoothly and I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
