Finishing up work, I headed to the gym.  After the gym, I headed home for dinner.  After dinner, I cleaned the dishes.  After the dishes, I pitched birthday party game ideas to my 9-year-old.  After my only somewhat successful attempt at pitching birthday party game ideas, I baked cupcakes for said birthday party.  After baking the cupcakes, I folded laundry.  After folding laundry, I shooed the kids off their devices and put them to bed.

Then I realized I was tired.  No Holiday activities involved, this was an everyday tired.  Then I realized, it’s okay.  Life is tiring.  Then I realized, it was time to go to sleep.  Yep, life is tiring and that’s a deep enough thought for one day.
