I have been using the term ‘burned out’ a lot lately to describe how I feel so I decided to look it up in the dictionary (librarians are never on vacation).

Burn-out: exhaustion of one’s physical or emotional strength.

That’s me. I feel tired beyond tired. I feel pushed and pulled to my limits. I want a break. I’d like someone to take care of me for awhile. I’d like to take a shower without having to unlock the back door, go out into the dark nite, drop the bucket down into the cistern, pull up the water and carry it in the house. Heat a pot of water of the gas stove (if we have gas), carry it upstairs and then use a cup to pour water over me in the shower. I want to turn a facet and find water. Too much to ask?
