surrender

tonight i think i am feeling world weary.
i've brewed a mug of herbal tea, i am putting on my jammies, 
i have pulled the pride and prejudice dvd from the shelf
and i am done for now.
taking a time out.
escaping.

(what do you do when you're "exhaustified*"?)

sleep sweet, friends.

  2. Oh Reed, I'm with you. When I'm "exhaustified" I love to curl up on the bed and escape into a movie. Keenan is usually with me, cuddling. Dave? Hmmm, depends on the movie... or my mood!

  3. My "retreat from the world" times also involve falling into a story - but mine usually involve a book & a blanket in my favorite chair. Your version is much less time intensive, maybe I'll try it! Smiles to you as you rejuvenate.

  4. Got to be a night reading blogs, cup of coffee and slice of cake, Feet up with a cat for company.
    Hope you feel energized soon!

  5. Hi Karen,
    Just saw your post this morning. Hope you had a sweet sleep and woke up feeling refreshed. If you're having the rain we are having here, it might be a good day to spend indoors.
    When I am spent, I do the same thing - comfy clothes, pillows and a movie. Could even be Pride and Prejudice, or perhaps Sense and Sensibility! Pure escape!
    Wishing you time to regroup and renew.
    xoxo Judy
