The Lighter Side of: Being Too Tired

Okay, sure, the vast majority of the time, being so tired that you are ready to fall asleep at any moment of the day can be pretty inconvenient.
Then, when it is combined with nightly bouts of insomnia, it can be infuriating.
You spend alllllllll day fighting to stay awake so that you can *hopefully* have a decent night's sleep, but when it is finally bedtime, you spend the evening staring at the ceiling.

So what should you do?
Do you give in to a lovely little cat-nap in the afternoon and risk an even more frustrating night of insomnia? Do you keep pumping yourself with sugar or caffeine to stay awake during the day? Do you try and do something active to keep your focus?

The Lighter Side of being too tired to do anything is that every single spot in the house becomes undeniably comfortable. You can curl up in a chair, on the couch, on the bed, on the floor, even in the washroom. It doesn't matter how uncomfortable a spot may seem, when you are that tired, everywhere is a comfy spot to sleep. You lose your picky ways and, if you allow it, you can let slumber lull you into its arms for a wonderfully deep, unplanned, nap.
Naps can be glorious.

Another Nothing Day

Another nothing day is happening today.
Still feeling like I completely overexerted myself...
So today has already included a nice lunch, catching up on last night's episode of This Is Us, followed by a new show I have never seen called Crazy Beautiful Weddings, and major cuddle time with Dex. I will also likely have a nap and then likely have a luxurious bubble bath while I listen to spa music and diffuse some oils.
Then it will be a bit of stretching, some tea on the deck for fresh air, a bit of reading if my brutal headache subsides, and hopefully a good night's sleep.
Take the pain, exhaustion, nausea, and migraine away and I've got myself a perfect day!!
