Tired...Tired of being admired...Tired of love uninspired...Let's face it, I'm tired!

To quote a Warner Brother's cartoon, after being hit with an anvil: "I'm feeling MIGHTY LOW."

Yesterday, when I woke up, I woke up quickly and woke up brightly. Today, I simply could not move. Any time I tried to get up out of bed, I DREAMED I got up out of bed. When I finally DID wake up, my eyes felt so swollen that I couldn't open them much.

Now, four hours later, my head is killing me, my eyes STILL feel swollen, and I'm fighting sleep. Despite the fact that I got seven hours of sleep.

One thing I already miss is "me" time. I keep late hours because my body and I agree best on day hours, but a great side effect is that I'm alone for a lot of the time. I like being alone, it allows me to gather my thoughts, it allows me to drop the "try not to tear anyone's head off" veneer (Not just present company...I'm this way with everyone) and allow me to do do work (I don't like drawing or working when people are watching, because I feel like I'm ignoring them).

Now, when I wake up, I'm paired with Sean. When everyone comes home, I'm surrounded. I get maybe an hour to half hour before I need to go to bed.

I know, I know, I'm whining. But frankly, with the headache and the fighting sleep, it's either whine, or gain a bigger headache trying to use more braincells to put something even MORE coherent together. Besides, you wake up at 3AM and go to bed at 6PM and see how cheerful you are. :)

I can live with it, though. Although the first chance I get, I'm taking off for a nice long ride by myself, with only myself. A road trip by the person, for the person....

Sorry, Erin - while I find your version of communal life much more agreeable than at home...I don't like communal living.

Takes that effect, the painful parts of it, a little while to fade, but they have always faded for me. It's the lingering mental slowdown and physical sluggishness that lingers until I pass out for extended periods, usually resetting my schedule.

I'll be really polite. Since that's almost an exact reversal of my preferred sleep schedule, bite me. ;-)

I know it's hard. {{backrub}}
