I'm Not Working, But My Brain Keeps Forcing Me Too

I am so tired today but I am also excited at the same time. It is as though my brain will not stop but my body has given up on me.

Yesterday was the unofficial first day of service at the restaurant I work for. It was exciting. It has been such a long time coming and to see it occupied by friends and family as opposed to city construction crew's was so refreshing. The energy, the volume, the lighting at night - perfect! I can't wait for it to be in full swing.  We took today off to rest and catch up because this week will be another crazy one. It will most likely be our opening week. I say most likely in fear that I will once again jinx the the scheduled opening day. It is as though the "touch wood" gods are reinforcing their dominance in our worlds. You can not be to careful. Do not get cocky and blurt out a definite opening date - they'll get ya. They'll always get the last laugh.

So for now I tread lightly with the verbal commitment of my words in regards to the dates surrounding this project. As soon as this place opens you can plan on me talking all sorts of smack about these 'touch wood' gods.... but don't tell them.

I am at home alone, trying to relax because I am exhausted but my damn brain will not slow down. So then I pick up my computer thinking if I make a list I will be able to relax. Game Over. The one thing leads to another and I find myself two hours later still working. I am gonna want to get a hold of this inclination before it consumes me.

I'm going to eat some of my home made pea soup with baguette, have some Jalepeno chips for dessert and watch something that will cause my brain no exercise. Something purely for brain dead entertainment. Sounds incredible - minus the calories.

2nd Attempt

This will be my second attempt at blogging. The first attempt I wrote one blog and then never checked it again. I remember feeling as though it was a relatively clever blog. The one entry.

I really like reading other peoples blogs.  I feel as though blogging presents too much pressure to the laymen blogger. I have a difficult time believing that anyone will care to read about the randomness I decide to write about. I'm not a skilled writer nor do I have the ability to fabricate witty quips about events that may have transpired throughout my day. I feel as though it must be bennificial to do. It is something that exercises your brain I suppose. It's not watching T.V. at the very least.

What do I talk about? Do I take a self involved approach and just talk about me or do I try and think of interesting things I come across outside myself? I can't really pour out my heart and soul into the entries for obvious reasons. Should I talk about things I cook and eat and troubles I encounter in my garden? I did take a level one beekeeping course this weekend. Is that something anyone would care to read about? Or is that something that need not be taken into consideration?

I think I need a blogging mentor.
