One of those days

Days like today are hard days. I woke up feeling down and tired.  All I really want to do is sit or nap and think and let my brain heal.  But alas, that is not to be.  Some friends from out of town are coming for dinner with their kids.  I really want to see these friends as I rarely get to and I miss them so much.  So, I will get off the couch and tidy my place and get dinner ready.  I will have a lovely visit with my friends and thoroughly enjoy their company.  And when they leave and I close the door behind them I will feel a mixture of sadness and relief.  And then I will likely crash hard.
