Plenty 'a Nuthin'

I realize that my personal posts have been few lately. My friends, I am one totally spent, ragged heap of humanity right now. The longer hours and big crowds of guests, as well as the other tourists, send me to the trusty Organizer every morning to find out what day it is and what time I am to be available - for kitchen prep crew, contractors, plumbers, and/or servers.

Don't get me wrong.  I don't mind the extra hours, but what I do mind is the time isn't dedicated to my regular responsibilities, but to the folks mentioned above. I prefer to get all my preparation done before anyone else arrives.  Do it in peace and do it thoroughly, because the responsibilities vary from day to day.  Weekday and weekend.

While the moon is full tonight, I'm empty. I have nothing.  I didn't have an after-shift cocktail tonight...I am that tired. No music; quiet is preferred this evening. A good soaking bath in Epsom Salts is first up, following that I will attempt a salad and maybe a glass of wine before stumbling into bed.

The Summer is already half over which, in many ways is hard to wrap my head around, but a part of me is happy in that knowledge. I'm over the hump, so to say.

And so it goes.

    It's hard to believe it's the middle of July already!

    Hope you enjoyed your bath and got some much needed rest.

    To brighten your sunday, a bunch of sunflowers is on its way.

    Have a good weekend and only a few weeks until your vacation starts.

    @Peter: Thanks! Just the thought cheered me so.
