After a long day of work I feel like doing nothing. This is probably a common feeling, but you have to admit that sometimes the tiredness really gets in the way. When I feel like this, there is little that can motivate my body to do anything it doesn’t need to. However, there is a particular activity that instantly awakens something within me, even after the most overwhelming of days.
On this specific day I was particularly tired after a long training and wanted to go straight to sleep. I drove home faster than usual to beat the rush hour traffic as it was 93 degrees and my AC was broken. The nearer I got to my house, the more tired I seemed to get. The only thing I had energy for when I got home was a cool shower. Once I got out, I put on some shorts, a t-shirt, and closed the window blinds as the sunbeams were heating up the room. Our blinds weren’t thick enough to completely darken the room, so you could see soft red flower patterns projecting on the bed from the sun hitting our drapes. My body was drained, but my thoughts from the busy day made it difficult for me to fall asleep.
