that special tired feeling

[mrsbrown]

I've finished my first week of work, I've been out on Wednesday and Thursday nights and Rose is still awake between 11pm and midnight. Oh yeah, I had an IUD inserted on Wednesday, which included major drug stuff and I've ridden my bike too and from work on the other days.  This has been my first major exercise (other than labour) since about March last year.

I've had that special, zombie, over tired feeling all day and now that I'm home I want something better than sleep to make me feel better.  I want to savour the relief from this overtired feeling and I wouldn't get that if I just went to bed and slept.

I've spent some time watching tv and I'll probably do some more.  Lying on the couch reading my email, LJ and checking my eBay list (I've become a bit of an addict lately - I'm supposed to be trying to get a cot, but I also have emmaljunga prams and cane baby baskets on my list) is pretty good.  I had dinner here too and now I'm trying to persuade mr_bassman to go and get the Rosie chocolates so I can eat them on the couch.

I think what I really want is a massage.  I would get the relief of lying horizontally (can you lie vertically?) and the falling asleep part woud probably be prolonged by the physical stimulation.  It would be really restful, without the unconciousness.

I'm going to stop writing now.  The sooner I post this, the sooner mr_bassman will get the hint about the chocolate.

So probably a good thing we didn't have you guys for dinner then?

No.

When I get overtired I get stupid about going to bed. See? It's 11.30 and I've done some great car buying research, put a bid in on a pram, refreshed the flist a lot of times, read my email via webmail 'cos I've been enjoying using the laptop on the couch and supported <lj user="mr_bassman" in his sewing endeavors. I also gave Rosie a bath. If we'd been to your house I would be in bed by now.

If we'd been to your place I'd probably be in bed by now.

btw. How are you going with sjkasabi's birthday present deliberation?

So how are you going to feel when it comes time to make invest garb?

The most exhausting part of making invest garb is deciding what to make.

I've gone all indecisive since becoming "it", as if I'm worried I'll get it wrong and everyone will hate me. Slowly getting better since I realised that though.

Ooh! I've just had an idea about invest garb. Now I'll have to think about what mr_bassman can wear that will match.

Been there. Talk to as many people as you can. Listen hard. And whenever someone says something negative, check their opinion against three others (just mention the issue and see what pops up in conversation). People will tell you, and people will really notice you listening.

And I remember the feeling - the "oh my god, what have we done, oh god, wimble mimble meep" feeling. And the sense that I didn't really have a clue about what I was supposed to do.

Grab a Pegasus and look up my email or phone number if you need someone to mimble meep at, or just ask a few questions, or even just bounce off. And Drakey and I are chuffed at the decision. Welcome on b-b-board...
