During babysitting last night, I realized I was getting my Friday Headache (TM) again, so Justin and I went to bed right after we got home. For the first time in a VERY long time, we slept past noon. We slept until 2 p.m. Ridiculous, I know. I could have slept longer, but I felt like I might lose a whole Saturday. After making bacon and homemade waffles, we had a nice (afternoon) breakfast complete with coffee and organic Valencia oranges.

Although there were many things I could have done after breakfast, I wanted to watch the end of The End of Suburbia, as we didn’t finish it last night. This documentary highlighted the reasons for and history of suburbs, the peak of oil production, and the impending doom of suburban consumers and their way of life. I felt like I was a bit shaken out of complacency, yet left with little evidence of what really could happen as well as left with little to do about whatever situation we could be left with. At any rate, I think energy (and other types of) consumption should be lowered dramatically by Americans. I don’t mind paying higher prices for oil and natural gas use as I know I would conserve it more that way.

So…my day, now that my headache is gone, is also almost gone! It’s 7 p.m. and I have only been awake for 5 hours. I am enjoying a cup of tea now, and I know laundry, cleaning, and reading for church tomorrow are in the near future.
