I have such low energy right now. All day I have been dragging ass...really since yesterday as my writing-for-the-day illustrated perfectly. I started with something and just dropped it in the midst of great fatigue. I am feeling that still now, despite sleeping at least eight hours and eating well. I guess the seemingly never-ending work week (really eight days straight of working) is wearing me down.
And so I am at an impasse with how to spend my requested three days off. I am so tired I want to just say "fuck it" and sleep and eat and lounge the days away, but I requested them off to go to Oklahoma with the family and I feel the pull to use them for that. Seems simple enough, right? But then I think I should go to my hometown first so I can see some people there. But then I need to go by my mother's place to get some things and see my dogs and...a long drive becomes a lot of shorter drives but only so many hours in a day to do things other than driving. Which I would much rather be doing.
On another note. There has been two Cuban customers that have come into the store for three days straight now, and I could tell I caught their eye. Well, perhaps just the one who can speak a bit of English, at least. The first day I showed them what they were looking for. The second the English speaker asked what I liked to do in my freetime. When I told him that I like to play video games he scoffed at that and it became a little joke as they checked out. Today he became bolder and asked if I was married, focusing on my ring apparently. I said no. Was I single? Yes. Would I like to go out with him? No. He would play Playstation! Laughter but no. I didn't use it on him, but there is a new line I want to use in such occasions when men notice my ring and ask if I am married or in a relationship:
I am single, but I am not available.
