Tired.

[valis2]

Husband and I went shopping, and I bought lots of things for my crafty experiment. We also bought new planters for the veggies we want to plant, and we bought water filters and soil and stuff like that.

And, as usual, I am absolutely wiped out. What the hell is it about shopping that completely exhausts me? I have no problem walking places, and doing things, and hauling heavy stuff around, and even going up a flight of stairs, but shopping kills me ded.

I think it's the mental focus required. I scan all of the products in each aisle, looking not only for things on my list, but for things not on the list that I might need. And by the end, I'm so tired I could crawl in the cart and fall asleep. I yawned eleventy billion times on the way home. My brain gets completely absorbed in the looking and scanning--both the primary brain and the secondary--and I think it takes more energy.

I know, I know, first world problem. Still, it's weird. If I lie down at this moment I'll fall asleep.

Seriously? It just makes me waaay tired. I get absolutely exhausted. I mean, even when looking for stuff at shows, I just get a little crazy after awhile.

And I totally agree with getting crabby because I want everything. hee!
