The past couple of weeks have been what my BFF's mom would call "fast". When we were teenagers, she would say things like, "you've been pretty fast lately Young Lady, I think you better stay home tonight". Being a not-quite-extrovert, this always comes back to me when I get too busy.
Work has been busy, but I think it was too many social obligations that wore me out. I've had some lunches, a high school career fair, a few work dinners, normal social time with friends, and my sister visited last weekend with her husband and three kids. Too much! I really enjoyed most of these things but I was happy when more involved plans fell through last night so that Ecogeoman and I could go for a walk, order in Indian food, and watch a dvd. Today we slept in, had dim sum, went clothes shopping for him, and ate our leftover Indian food while watching another video.
Now I think I'm refreshed enough to plow through the week.

Lots of social happenings wear me out, too. A quite weekend every now and then in good.
All of that sounds pretty good to me. I've been needing a lot of quiet time, and getting some, but I'm also starved for meaningful, fun social stuff (and dim sum!).
It's one thing to be busy and out of the house and seeing people, but if it's the wrong people or just kind of a strain, I find that a lot worse than staying home alone doing nothing.
