no drunken sailors, but sleepy writers? and how.
Why am I SO TIRED?
I honestly have no idea why today, of all days, I would be zonked.
I didn’t go to bed THAT late (before midnight!) and I only spent 15 minutes on the phone (at 1 am) trying to keep Eric awake to catch his flight home from Orlando at 6-something EST.
That’s NOTHING for me. I’m TOUGH. I’m FIERCE.
I’m TRYING REALLY HARD NOT TO FALL ASLEEP.
Oh, the fog.
Every time I try and maintain a rational thought, it turns into lkdj;lskj;lakjsf.
The caffeine isn’t even helping.
I really hate being tired… even more so than I hate being sick. When you’re sick, you just take something, and then you get better. Or you go to a doctor (yeah, right.)
But when you’re tired, there are only two options: you can either overdose on coffee or go back to bed. And when the coffee doesn’t work and there is no bed in sight?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Not even a brisk walk around the block helped. Or 8 am M&Ms.
I just keep thinking about really good sheets and really comfy beds and really soft duvets and rooms I wish I was sleeping in.
Help me. Please.

Ahhhhhhh. Sleep.
Wait, what’s that? And holy crap! $4199 for an eiderdown? Sheesh. I’d never get out of bed if it was that comfy.:)

I’ve actually never owned anything that expensive. :-)
My quilt is a hand-me-down from my grandma, but I have been dying for a big, fluffy, fresh duvet for years. It’s right there on the list with a new bed in general, a new MacBook Pro and… oh yeah… traveling the world.

um, eat some cake? maybe the marshmellow sugar frosting will keep you up temporarily until you can climb into the downy marshmellow fluff of your bed

probably we’ve made you ill. i’m sorry. i’m always quite conscious now about other children and their diseases, but i forget that you, like me, are quite sickness prone. i feel terrible, and i feel terribly badly about passing our sickness on to you.

No, it’s definitely not sickness:). Don’t you worry. You only did me good! I blame Eric and his flight now.:)

I’ll trade ya my big fluffy down duvet for your made-with-love grandma quilt!!!
Sorry to hear you’re so tired. I’ve been hitting the fatigue wall myself these days and it’s HARD TO FUNCTION when you hit that darn thing.
Have you tried sniffing ammonia? That always wakes me up. :)

i feels fer ya Meg as i too am tired - always. Maybe you should ask the Dr for a liver function test; they dont always send people for this test even after complaining about being tired for many years! If its the autoimmune disease Primary Biliary Cirohsis then at least you’ll know why you’re tired. There are meds available. Check it out at http://pbcers.org
