Recovering Again!

I went to visit some family out of town; my friend drove me up. I had a great time, although the kids wore me out. It was worth it.

During the five-hour drive home, it was so interesting how the fatigue, the lassitude, would come and go for absolutely no discernible reason. Listening to music... fine... still listening to music... exhausted... still listening to music... better now. ??
