While I may appear placid, like a lioness I can be mercurial. I'm in a mood. I can't sleep. Nothing captures my attention. I have a new zit on my chin. Don't cross me or I could swipe ya with my big paw!
I'm so exhausted when I get home from work that I nap. Then I wake up NOW, pre-dawn, for a while. I wish I could sleep, undisturbed, if I need it or stay awake to get something accomplished around the house if I don't.
And I'm sick of not being well. I know, I know ... I should be more patient. But I don't feel like being patient. I feel like being ME!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I know that feeling. I had major surgery (1997 gastric bypass) and went back to work in 2 weeks. I was exhausted all the time. Napped in a storage room at work.
ReplyDeleteBut one day it all just fit together and I was ME again. You will be too so keep walking through this and it will all be fine.

Glad to see you're being you... patient but impatient. Realistic, but still wanting the unrealistic. You're just a tired you.
ReplyDelete*sigh* for zits. I got one just before I had my date earlier this week.
ReplyDeleteDo what I do at 3 am in the morning, play words with friends, read on my iphone and then maybe sleep.
ReplyDeleteTake it one day at a time and eventually it will you will feel 100%. Lisa called it first. Look for the positive even it's small.
