Sometimes I am such a dork! 

OK – so my brain and body have NOT been getting along very well for years now, but things have definitely gone to the next level - with both sides engaging in cross-the-border skirmishes. 

Problem is, my brain still thinks we are in our early 20’s and constantly wants to embark on everything Pinterest has to offer.

The body – with all my medical maladies – thinks it’s now pushing 80 and replies with, “Yeah, you have fun with that, cuz I’m going upstairs to take a nap.”

At which time the brain retaliates by going into Super-Hyper mode, meticulously reexamining – in minutest detail - all the most trivial things which have occurred in the past 30 or so years of our life – thereby causing the exhausted body to lie upon our bed – wide awake – staring at the ceiling, WISHING we were all asleep!  This sort of thing can go on for HOURS!  : ) 

So today I woke up at 4 – ready and rearing to go!  Went downstairs and cooked, and cleaned, and baked … and by 9 I had pretty much exhausted myself and used up about an entire week’s worth of energy.  

By 10 I was heading back upstairs for a 2 hour nap, feeling like a Christmas toy that requires 6 D-cell batteries, only these batteries are those manufacturer-type batteries that came with the toy… and were manufactured in China… and somebody left the toy running this morning so that I’m now in full-on Sloooo-Moooo mode. 

Never fear, I’m still a Ferguson, so no matter how low the batteries get, my family is STILL going to figure out a way to have FUN!  Bring it on!!!

Sometimes we are ALL dorks – Dorks that know how to have good, clean, old-fashioned F-U-N!
