So busy, so tired

by

I am so tired today. I stayed up late last night and then I couldn’t get to sleep when I finally went to bed and I’m paying for it now. Yawn! Trouble is, I have a lot of work to get done today.

It doesn’t help that my phone keeps ringing and interrupting me from the work I’m doing on my computer. I’m seriously thinking of unplugging the phone. I have to get a few articles written, update some blogs, and do some behind the scenes work on a few of my sites. I’m not even going to include the housework that I need to get done because there’s no way I’m going to get to that today!

One of the phone calls that disrupted me was a friend calling me about a medical question. I guess he’s been trying to bulk up so he’s been drinking protein shakes and taking something called P6. I had to look that one up. He was wondering about p6 extreme side effects so I looked it up for him since I was in front of my computer – which I’m sure he knew I’d be and he felt a little better after our conversation. Personally I think he looks fine just the way he is and hope he doesn’t get cared away with these supplements etc.

Well, I’d better get back to work! Or have a nap … hmmm that sounds good.





I’m not getting any sleep

by

Sigh … It’s the weekend and you’d think that a person would be able to sleep in if they wanted to, wouldn’t you? Not around here … not if you’re me.

My neighbors toddler has been making a ton of noise next door since February. I don’t think I’ve had more than about three hours sleep a night since sometime in February. Believe me it’s really taking a toll on me. I mean, I have chronic pain and Crohn’s disease and no arthritis in my knee (who knows it might be Rheumatoid arthritis I still have to find out) so I should be getting a minimum of 8 hours sleep, not a scant three hours!

My problem, is that the kid starts crying or screaming at anywhere from 5 am to 6 am and then she bangs around the house next door (which is attached to our house as we live in a semi detached) yelling and thumping her feet all morning. Then, just when she’s going to go down for a nap at about 1 pm she often starts screaming at the top of her head and runs around their house slamming doors! Of course I can hear every scream and every word and feel all the vibrations from her running around and slamming the doors. It’s AWFUL! Everything that goes on in the morning is repeated throughout the day sometimes up until Midnight. This kids parents don’t even seem to have her on a regular bed time schedule.

We’ve talked to them about all the noise and they simply don’t seem to realize how noisy their kid is. Either that or they are totally deaf. They have tried to get her to be quieter, but in the last two weeks it’s gotten a lot noisier again. Now that the weather is nice I wish they’d just take their little girl out for a good portion of the day and tire her out. There’s a fantastic preschool playground that she could play in now that it’s summer time and I’d bet she’d sleep better at night if she burned off some energy.

Sigh … Maybe they’ll go for a two week vacation this summer and I’ll get some normal sleep while they’re gone. That might be the only way I’ll get some sleep if their little girl doesn’t stop making so much noise.

Why am I so tired?

by

I’m so massively tired lately. I think I could sleep for a solid week if my body would let me.

I know it’s Saturday, but if I can, I think I’m going to try to go to bed early tonight. Generally I’m not an early to bed person no matter how tired I am. Even if I’m tired I just can’t go to sleep … but I’m going to try. I’ve got to, I’m exhausted.

At this rate, if I don’t start to get some good sleep or at least stop feeling so tired (because I am sleeping) I’m going to start to hunt down the best anti wrinkle cream because I’m sure I’ll start to look the way I feel and maybe even start to get wrinkles if this keeps up.

It’s been months since I didn’t feel exhausted. Something is going on.

Another shopping trip

by

I’m just waiting for my husband to get home from work and then we’re going out shopping.

I need to go to Costco tonight. I saw my family doctor yesterday for a regular appointment but while I was there I told her about how I’ve been so very very cold lately as well as extremely tired and she seems to think that I might have Seasonal Affective Disorder. I think it’s my thyroid acting up … especially since my symptoms totally fit hypothyroidism and only partially fit S.A.D. but the light might be worth getting to help fix my sleep cycle if nothing else.

Anyway .. while we’re out shopping I might take a look at the women’s apparel section of the store … or perhaps talk my husband into going to another nearby store if I can. I need new clothes – badly! Everything I own is loose on me, I desperately need new pants, new tops, new sweaters and so on.

Plus .. who doesn’t love a shopping spree? LOL

Exhausted – I just can’t sleep

by

I’m so exhausted. I feel like I haven’t slept in days or even weeks.

Actually … that’s partially true. Ever since the end of August I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping or rather staying asleep because of a medication I started taking around that time. I think I was just starting to sleep a little better near the end of September but then at the beginning of October I started yet another new medication (Zyban to stop smoking) and that is now causing trouble sleeping. So I have two medications affecting my sleep.

If I keep going like this I’m really going to have to do a search for best under eye cream for dark circles because I’m starting to look as tired as I feel.

I usually don’t have much trouble falling asleep or staying asleep and I’ve never had a medication affect my sleep so badly. It’s terrible. If I keep having this much trouble sleeping I’m going to have to call my doctor and see if she can help me out.

Do you ever have a lot of trouble sleeping?
