How am I doing? I'm tired, although I feel less mentally fatigued than yesterday, when I felt like a shadow of my former self. Today I was in a good mood, thanks to warmer weather (for winter, anyway) and actually getting to be out in the sun during the day. But again I woke up tired, as though I hadn't gotten enough sleep. But I purposely got my square 8 to make sure I was rested. Normally you actually rise out of bed, shake the sleep out of your eyes, and shower. That tends to be enough to get you started on your day.
Not so for me today. The feeling of fatigue never really disappeared, and the longer I was awake and working, the more this feeling persisted as grew. Especially as I grew more physically tired. But my mood was bright, and I was back to my quipping old self. I even got in a couple of zingers!
I'm forced to wonder if this is going to be the pattern for the next few days: one day of mental fatigue followed by a day of physical fatigue. Perhaps a combination of the two, going back and forth throughout the day. I really wonder if it's caffeine addiction from which I am suffering, or merely a mental craving leading me to feel more wretched than normal. I guess time will tell. It is still mighty pleasant to sip my hot chicory drink as I write this, but a cookie just doesn't hold the liquid as well as a cup of coffee. I'm going to try tea tomorrow, to see if it can fill the niche that coffee previously held. Wish me luck!
