Ever Been So Tired….?
TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM
Ever had a night where you just couldn’t go to sleep? I mean where you were tired but not quite tired enough for the Sandman to show up and let you drift off into Dreamland? That was my night. I not only got a second wind but a third and then a fourth until the sky was light and I could see it was going to be a dreary, rainy day. Just the kind of day to sleep in. *Sigh*
So, I turned the TV onto the History Channel for something that would help lull me to sleep, took a pain pill and covered up nice and cozy and prepared to welcome sleep, sweet sleep. I have no idea just when it happened but it finally did. I DO know that I slept for a couple hours and then Baron came in and started slurping my face. Oh yeah! Great awakening.
I made myself get up, thinking I don’t want to do this for another night so I did a few things around the house. I didn’t really have the energy to tackle anything truly physical so I just straightened up the bed (that I hadn’t slept in) and dust mopped the floor, made some coffee and poured myself a cup. I then sat down at my computer and went through my email. That took maybe a half hour with part of that just getting rid of the spam. Gawd, I hate that stuff. What a waste of time. I then played a few games on Pogo, did some Trivial Pursuit games and then the daily crossword puzzle.
I made the Beast and I some grilled cheese sandwiches but he turned down any soup with it. It was just not a day when we were really hungry for whatever reason. The worst part of being tired, though, is typing. I swear, I become dyslexic when I am tired. I have all the right letters but am constantly having to go back and re-type a word because I’ve switched it. It makes me wonder how I wrote so prolifically for the advertising agency I worked for because I swear I was always tired. I guess it’s because I was younger and could do that kind of stuff.
I’m too tired to take a shower so I just did a PTA type cleanup. If you don’t know what that is, ask someone older.
Now that heating season is here, I am having a tough time with dry skin. I’m using up a lot of lotion to keep my bits and pieces from getting too dry and possibly cracking. I’ve seen people that suffer that way and no thanks! I’ll keep putting lotion on, TYVM.
Well, I have managed not to nap too often today so I will be going to bed in about an hour. Keep your fingers crossed that nothing interferes and I get a decent night’s sleep for a change. I’m hoping the Beast sleeps peacefully, too.
Love you all. Hope you have a great day. Work on those Christmas decorations. It’s coming up faster than you think.
