Take the following items and put them together:
- Returning from a super fun trip where you were on the go the entire time (while fighting the flu).
- Going back to work after the super fun trip.
- Get some really bothersome news that affects you.
- Get some incredibly good news that helps you feel better about the bad news.
- Receive a correspondence from someone that makes you truly uncomfortable.
- Stay up many nights reviewing photos for Dreamstime.
Put all these things together and you might just find one super exhausted person. In the case of this list, I was the super exhausted person.
Yesterday I was planning on a trip to Sycamore Canyon (the long way), or at least a short climb. I was hoping for many wonderful photos, a fun time with friends, and an interesting blog post for the evening.
Instead, when I woke up I found that there was nothing left in me at all. Well, there was the desire to curl up in a tight ball and sleep all day. Or wander around in a haze until I finally took that extra long, extra necessary nap (I finally did do that, and it helped).
So, the blog stayed silent for the weekend. I got some laundry wrapped up, minor shopping, and a really good nap. And after all of this mundane stuff I found myself awake once more. Nice to be awake. And after sleeping all night, I’m even more awake this morning! Hello again world, relaxed guy here. 
Oh, and now that I’m awake…….
The latest must read article from Bill Fleckenstein. If you haven’t bookmarked his page at MSN yet, I’d suggest you do. He’s had it right for a long time, he was just off on timing. Now that the ball is rolling, I believe Bill has a great handle on the road map of where we’re going. He writes weekly, and I’m always awaiting his next posting.

Good Morning Rested Guy!!
I think the thing that bothered me most about waking up on Sunday morning was admitting to myself (or to anyone else) that I was also too tired to go on a big hike to Sycamore…because I’m supposed to be all tough and up for anything. I was mostly up for a really nice nap. A really long nap…
Or at least a good Chex Mix baking session…
Dagny,
Hey there. I’ve posted links to Prudentbear here previously. I’ve got a morning routine, and Prudentbear is part of it every day!
