Yesterday it was party time! And today it’s nap time! Strand’s expected openly quite the knees.
To be honest, I am much more comfortable with relaxing than partying, which is possibly the reason why I did so quickly work with today’s word search.
I have felt almost every word in today’s search in the last few days. It is not due to a lack of sleep or exhaustion because of over training, it is because I try to give up caffeine and experience some quite radical side effects, including feeling constantly drowsy, used, tired, tired, tired, tired and zzzzzzz ….
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
