Your school year has already started? Ours doesn’t start until September.
I can totally relate!
Like mine it is all gone
I know the feeling: in my case it’s called getting old!
I think my energy went after I hit 50! and the heat doesn’t help any….
seems like the summer gets shorter and shorter…
do you think perhaps your energy level has anything to do with the weather?
Weather? Oh, you mean the 100+degree days we’ve had recently. I am SO looking forward to Thursday, when the high in our little community is expected to be 115. **gasp** **pant**
You might consider injecting some methamphetamines. I hear it’s pretty energizing. Just a thought.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m the last person to ask!
I don’t have the answer, but I think whoever stole it is making the rounds.
Hang in there.
Hmmm.
oh dear…I am feeling exactly the same way this week too.
hang in there!
Need A Fairy Godmother
