Well, I was all set to go get some range time in this morning - I realized later in the evening last night that I had the whole day and car to myself so figured I may as well go after dropping the ladies off at their respective spots and then coming home to grab a pair of pistols (to keep it light and less trips on my knee), my range bag and head for them hills...
BUT
Saturday night we spent at a friends for a great dinner and watched the UFC fight, great fun but we didn't get to bed until well after 11pm.
Sunday I had to wake up earlier then usual and get over to a convention to run a video segment. Which turned into walking what was supposed to be half a mile but turned into at least a mile on my knee with a cane, with a 40 lb backpack with my computer and gear in it, to get to the lunch spot that was picked - about 3/4 of the way I seriously thought about calling my ride and canceling going to the lunch but my pride overrode that.
Then got to bed early last night - excited to get out and shoot.
THEN
This morning after I dropped the ladies off I got home and it took about 3 seconds to decide I was completely wiped out, so I went to bed thinking I'd get an extra hour or so (this was a little before 9am).
Woke up to the alarm I have set daily to feed the dog at 12:30pm. Rolled over to get up and apparently I fell back asleep on my stomach, on my elbows with my face in the pillow - not on the pillow, just straight crashed.
Next thing I know it's 1:30pm, the dogs whining for food and I'm still ready to go back to sleep.
Having to feed the dog got me up and by the time I fed him and me, I had burnt up most of the day. I was still tired but needed to put my leg up so I tossed in a video game and laid out on the couch. I know I would have fallen back to sleep if I was watching shows or video so the game at least kept me awake lol.
So now I have a better idea what it's going to take to get back to my last baseline stamina at least (after the knee surgery) but man I would have liked to go shoot some targets today.
Gonna be a hard road back but thought someone might get a laugh at this at least so that's about the only reason for posting it.
It's certainly the first time I've ever slept face first into a pillow since my younger drinking days, that's for sure.
