Stampede Burn Out?
I have been visiting the Stampede a bit and I am now starting to feel a tad burnt out.
I love heading down there and catching the rodeo or throwing some darts at balloons to win a stuffed Tweety … but after heading to the grounds for a few days, with a round of golf in between, and reporting from the Premier’s Stampede Breakfast, I feel like I need to sleep for about a week straight.
I know I am laying down a little early this year but late nights and early mornings can catch up to you very quickly. Maybe I’ll feel a bit different after going to bed at 6 tonight and sleeping for 9 hours.
I’ll be back down at the grounds at least twice and I know I’ll have a lot of fun but I am nervous about what I’m in for after such partying. Tomorrow I will be escorting my lovely girlfriend to the grounds and then on Wednesday I am escorting the BMO Junior Reporters around the grounds for kids day. I know I’ll be fine that day because the two lucky kids see, full of excitement and energy and they’ll keep me going.
After the whole thing I may be suffering from a “Stampede hangover.”
For the moment though I just want to sleep. I think after a good nights rest, all I’ll need is to slam back a Red Bull and enter the gates and I’ll be fine.
