It’s a rare day when I admit I am so tired I feel fried. I hit the wall on Monday, made evident as I was too tired to drive to Walla Walla for my morning tennis game. My mind and body just went on strike. It became evident how tired I was when I did laundry without detergent. Next, I forgot to close the top of the machine on the rewash.
