I spent a couple of days planning for running a few errands yesterday.  What was unusual was that I needed to go out of town – not very far, but places I am not used to going.  So it took some time to get ready.

Things went pretty well.  I spent a long time at the hardware store in town, before heading up the freeway to a hobby store.  Then I stopped at a Garden Center, and bought some flowers for our new backyard garden.  I did not go to a forth place I had planned to go, but it was still a good trip.

I felt pretty good about it.  Yesterday evening I was tired and drained, but I did fine.  Then there was this morning…

I feel empty.  My emotions are escaping me.  I have no energy.  Now I am just sitting, trying to make sense of the day.  I do not want to do anything… eat anything… I could sleep all day.

I had hoped to start on some small projects today – I needed parts from the hardware store.  But I do not see that happening now.  All I want to do is sit, and stare.  And I don’t really want to do that.

The worst part is that I have used basically 3 days to go out for 3 hours.  Tomorrow I will consider whether it was worth it.  But it seems out of proportion with what I got.  Maybe it was good for me, but that is hard to see right now.

When is the cost too high?
