Still tired

[clevermanka]

What gives? It's been over a week and I'm still dragging. The Monday I returned from work after my (glorious! blissful!) vacation, I thought it was just body-clock readjustment, but obviously not. I have perhaps two or three moments during the day when I feel awake, but for the vast majority of time, I am on the verge of falling asleep. I wake up tired, I slog through my day tired and and I go to bed tired. This morning I couldn't get up at 6:00 a.m. to exercise. I just...couldn't. I reset the alarm for 7:00 and laid my head back down for what felt like two minutes before the alarm went off. I still didn't get out of bed for another fifteen minutes. Allergies? I don't feel ill. I hope it's allergies, because the other likely possibility is that my thyroid meds are failing. Bleh.

I'm going to give it another month before I make an appointment with the endocrinologist. I'm not supposed to see him until September, but if something is out of whack with my T3/T4/TSH, I need to get that fixed sooner rather than later. Suffering through another month of this seems torturous, but the worst of my spring allergies will be over by then and I'll be able to tell if this really is just (ha!) allergies.

Things I don't like that have come up in conversation twice in the past 24 hours, resulting in my assertions and re-assertions that I don't like these things, it is not a personal judgment on someone else's character who does like them, I just don't like them myself: KU basketball, outdoor dining, jellybeans. The fact that I was annoyed by said conversations is a testament to just how tired I am at this point. Testy. Very testy.

Jellybeans are like hard, coated Jelly Babies. Even our Gummy Bears are harder than yummy Jelly Babies. We get everything wrong here. :)

Heh. That's what I hear, though I misdoubt the rumor that you boil pizza.

Besides, even if the food might be somewhat amiss, there's still Doctor Who.
