Damn Tired
Work is crushing me at the moment. We were in all weekend carrying out some major work, and it has left me exhausted. It’s not an “I could do with a sleep” tired, but more of a “my brain keeps shutting down intermittently” tired. I don’t have any time off until this Saturday, but this weekend is going to be so busy with my friends birthdays that I doubt I’ll have any time to slow down.
Last night when I got home, I had several things I really needed to do, and some writing I wanted to get into. All I was able to manage though, was to crash out on my sofa and watch crappy movies all evening. I tried to read for a few hours, but after I realised I’d just read the same page three times, I put the book down and decided to go to bed. When I picked up the book again today during my lunch break, I realised I had no idea what had happened over the last four pages, and had to re-read them again.
This tiredness is really messing with my attempts to get out of bed earlier in the morning too. Being something of a mild insomniac and really detesting mornings, it was never going to be an easy prospect to change my sleeping pattern, and become more productive in the mornings before work. I had been making an extended effort to get up slightly earlier every few days, and I had found that I was getting more and more done. So far this week I’ve struggled to get out of bed with enough time for a shower before work.
All I really need is a few early nights, and a few days where I can just relax and do nothing that requires any real brain power. I doubt it’s going to happen any time soon though.
