A day of Exhaustion
Yesterday was the most exhausted day I think I’ve ever had.
I hadn’t slept well the night before, or for the last couple of weeks in all honesty. I tossed and turned before I finally fell asleep and then I awoke several times throughout thie ngiht. I had to wake up early because I had to finish a paper I was writing for college, then I had college all morning from 9-2:30. We had a lecture, watched a movie and had a group, all of which I was almost nodding off through. I was able to come home for about 1/2 hour before I had to head to work. I tried to do some exercises but I couldn’t even hold myself up. I rested for a few minutes in my chair and then headed in to work for eight hours. It was an extrememly slow night, which was not helping my sleepiness. I tried to get up every few minutes to do something, but before long I couldn’t find anything else to do. I was on coffee cup number three and tried a cup of tea instead. (I usually only have one cup of each a day or less.) When it was apparent how slow we were, they began sending a few staff members home. Yes! A chance to go get some rest! But, no. A friend of mine had left her kids home alone and she got to go instead of me. I had to keep myself from crying. I had four more hours and I felt like I was already on barrowed energy. The night dragged on and finally it was 11:30 pm and time for me to head home. A friend of mine advised me to drink a glass of milk before bed, and I found myself very glad that my drive home was so short. I did my evening routine, shower, brush my teeth, and layed down in bed next to my husband.
I was out.
And I had the best night of sleep in at least the last week or two. I actually awoke feeling rested, thank God! and today, after college, I was the one who got to have some time off from work. 
More time to relax, and maybe a little more time to spend in my workout tonight.
This was my last day of work before a little stretch off and only 2-3 days a week around college instead of 5, so hopefully this is the first of many well-rested days.
Cheers!
