>>ten days away (to Bay Area and Back) followed by houseguests for over a week (2 sets), a quick few days up in WA, another houseguest, my first live music outing yesterday (outside venue, really fun - but 6 hours was too long), today's first trad'l Sunday Brunch (w/just 3 of us, thankfully), and a few day trips to the coast sprinkled into the mix, I feel utterly exhausted. <<

YOU feel exhausted? **I** feel exhausted just hearing about all that! That is an itinerary that, in a busy time, might be my plans for an entire year. This introvert needs to settle down after merely reading your words. (BUt I'm glad you're enjoying it all!)
