Energized

I woke up this morning full of energy, which is never a good thing because it means that I have to find something to do. Now the world is full of possibilities of things to do, and then there's things to do that aren't possibilities. That is, all the tedious tasks that I put off from day to day when I don't have energy.
Like laundry. Yes, there's a load in the washer right now. Clean the bathrooms? Well, I won't go into that. I'm not going to finish this list at all because it saps my strength just wondering how I managed to let things fall into such disarray to begin with. At least it's raining so I don't have to count anything outside.
My first mistake was taking vitamins. I don't take much. A standard adult dose has huge effects on me, including nightmares. I take a toddler's dose of gummyvites. No wait, I just looked at the label. Two to four year olds are supposed to take two gummyvites. I take half of what is recommended for a two year old, and come to think of it I had half a nightmare last night.
I also have several half-finished projects laying around. I love starting new projects. I get so enthused that often, after almost finishing one, I prepare to do several more as long as I'm at it. Like making scarves. I finished two, and promptly bought material for three more which now is strewn across two rooms in various stages of need to be finished. Too bad I've moved on to a new art project which involves putting tiny, plastic beads on a form then putting a hot iron on them transforming them into melted plastic. I use tweezers to manipulate the beads which gives the illusion of being a skilled craftsman. I'm halfway through the kit so maybe I'd better buy more while the coupon is still good.
My second mistake is going to the gym which means I'm tired when I go to bed so I get a good night's sleep, setting off a cycle of another day full of energy. Note to self, drink a cup of coffee after dinner. Then I'll toss and turn all night so this doesn't happen again tomorrow.
Uh-oh, the sun is coming out so now I have outdoor stuff to do. I hate having energy.
