Balancing Out
Well, I guess my body is getting used to the herbal supplements I’m taking. For the first two weeks, I was forcing myself into bed by 1 a.m. Last night I barely made it to 11:30. I’m feeling drained this week. I know part of it is the weather - it’s been raining and cloudy all week. We’re actually not schedule to see any sun until next Wednesday. It’s like winter in South Bend - only instead of snow we have humidity. Fun times. Anyway, I’m tired. Yesterday after lunch I suddenly felt as if my body had filled with lead. Every step took a colossal effort. My boss was in a closed-door meeting for a couple of hours, but when he saw me at 5, he took one look at me and told me to go home. I forced myself to eat some dinner but I didn’t come close to getting in all my food yesterday. And today I still feel drained. The leaden feeling has abated some, but the fact that both my alarms were going off for about 12 minutes before I registered them does not bode well for how I’ll be feeling this afternoon.
I hope I somehow manage to get a nap in today at lunch.
