I lay on a small trampoline before going to play pickleball.
I’m tired from the day, but I want to do something.
I want to hang out and do something active.
I worked at the beginning of the day.
It was slow at work, so slow that the day dragged on and felt long.
Days like this are interesting.

days like this
I don’t know about you, but some days are just slow. Slow in a way that makes them long, not slow in a way that’s peaceful or relaxing.
These sorts of days are notorious for leading to existential crises.
Where space for overthinking is given too much freedom.
I’m mostly one who is comfortable in my own thoughts. I don’t spiral often or ruminate too much, but there are times when there has just been too much thinking.
This day was one of those days.
My mind was tired of figuring out things. Though it was slow at work, there were still plenty of problems to solve. Some were present problems, and some were future issues that I was trying to figure out ahead of their time.
Days like this are a little bit exhausting mentally.
interesting
It’s interesting how some days can be exhausting mentally, some days can be exhausting physically, some days can be exhausting emotionally, some days can be exhausting socially, and some days can be exhausting all around.
This was one of those days that was just exhausting mentally. When I got off work, I headed home. When I got home, I lay on the small trampoline in my house. When I lay down on the trampoline, I took off my shoes. When I took off my shoes, I took a deep breath. When I took a deep breath, I felt better.
Just a little tired, I got up, ate some food, and enjoyed some time with my family before heading out to play pickleball at the courts in town.
When I arrived, the courts were full. People waited for an opening. I walked around and said “hi” to a few of my friends before finding the girl I had invited. We went and retrieved a paddle for her, and I asked a young couple who were playing 1v1 if they would want to play 2v2 next. They agreed.
We won some and lost some.
I went on to win some and lose some more.
It was a fun night.
It’s good to go out and enjoy your time with no expectations.
Even though I was supposedly exhausted, I found the energy to have a fun time with others.
Days like this are interesting.
Let me know in the comments about an interesting day you had recently. Sometimes days can be draining in one aspect and then be completely turned around in another aspect.
Thanks as always for reading!
I’ll see you in the next one… ✌🏼
