I'm Tired...

I am tired. I have been tired ever since my trip to Chicago. We did 3400 miles in 4 days. Doesn't sound like much divided up but my butt says it was as does my whole body. I commented what I did to a co-worker and he told me I wasn't 20 anymore. I commented back to him that I am not even 40 anymore. I want to rest and sleep but I can't seem to sleep the whole night anymore. I got so much going through my head (and with no hair to keep the thoughts in and somewhat contained) that I wake up and watch them flit around me, enticing yet ephemeral. They are just beyond my reach and understanding. It's weird...
My grandson got a cookie today for going to the bathroom. Not just any cookie, mind you, a CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE - baked at home!!!! I love cookies and so I called my wife to see if I could get a cookie whenever I went to the bathroom and she said no. I was sad. Why can't I get a cookie for "being good" and "doing what's right"? Why don't we reward ourselves when we do something good? I don't know but I did buy some cookies and cream ice cream to reward myself for "doing what's right". I love being able to reward others as well. For ALL of my kids (even the married ones) who are reading this: If you get a 4.0 in a semester, I will buy your books for the next semester. It starts Fall semester or whatever new semester you are starting right now or will be starting. Confused? I am not and the person to whom this is directed hopefully isn't as well. She is blonde and so was I so we understand each other on a follicle level.
Anyway, today was a good day. Work was a bit frustrating but I think we got resolved what was troubling us. I am still tired.
