Too much, too soon?

Due to excitement about life changes (loss of job, start of school) and an influx of some green (due to well placed investments) I spent the last few days out and about. I mean, I actually got up and out of bed prior to 9 AM, showered, dressed in non-lounge or pajama style clothes and left the house. Three days in a row!!!! Considering I was inpatient less than three weeks ago, and earlier this week taking a shower resulted in requiring a nap , all of this is quite an accomplishment.

The downside to all of this activity is the resulting exhaustion. My brain is still awake and ready to go - my body? not so much. I'm bone tired. Have you ever been bone tired? It's the kind of tired where you lay in bed giving yourself a pep-talk: "C'mon, you have to get up. You don't have to leave the house, you don't have to get dressed. You don't even have to look in the mirror or brush your hair, but you can't pee in bed."

I need to remember that short spurts of energy are just that: short. And moderation is key in everything; including moderation.
