Even my hair hurts!

by

I’m exhausted.
I’m mentally exhausted from work (and the great job interview I had after work).
I’m spiritually exhausted from a lack of spirituality in my life.
I am emotionally exhausted from stressing about finances.
I am physically exhausted from staying up too late too many times in the past week.
Either this stuff is true, or I’m getting old & cranky.

I spent a weeks’ worth of marbles in three days and am definitely paying the price. I have figured out I can earn three back if I get in bed super-early a few nights this week. Monday night I got in bed (and sadly I felt guilty doing so) at 7pm. (Maybe that’s something else that I need to address here on this blog … guilt.)

On top of all this exhaustion I hurt! Barometric pressure is a migraine trigger for me, and thankfully the weather has been changing suddenly over & over here in Portland. I went into my interview and it was sunny and muggy, I came out twenty minutes later and it was literally POURING down rain. The sudden change made my already achey head feel like imploding! I came home, ate some turkey sausages (nitrate-free!) and had to break down and take some midrin for my migraine. I drank some cran-raspberry juice and literally crawled into bed after locking the doors. Seriously. Exhausted.

    I’m exhausted just reading about your exhaustion. Sympathy exhaustion, I guess.
