Overheated

Being driven back from the Netherlands at the weekend, I passed a couple of cars on the hard shoulder that had become too hot in a traffic jam, and needed a break to cool down again. This is how I feel today. I am tired and sunburnt, and my face feels like it wants to shrivel up and pull my eyes closed.

I was in the Netherlands for the Dutch juggling convention, and spent too much time drinking, juggling and standing in the sun, and not enough time sleeping. I'm trying to change my life so that I catch myself when I'm getting carried away, and stop before I tire myself completely, but I didn't manage this at the weekend. On Friday night thoughts of time, tiredness and limits just weren't in my head. I was thinking only about music, games, laughter and juggling.

So I need to sleep, stay out of the sun, rest and get back to looking for a job. I will recover soon enough, and can look at the good parts of the weekend:I have met lots of new people, appeared in some nice photos, and learned how to flick up a football with my heel.
