Tired?

[mrsbrown]

 Yesterday I spent the day on the couch with a headache, after I'd ridden for 40min with a teenager on the back of the bike.
Today I really need to get started but I'm still sort of tired in the way that everytime I push myself to get up and do something, I find myself sitting down again within 10min, but not tired enough to just take myself to bed.
It's the sort of tired that would probably go away if I had an external motivator, like colleagues or somewhere to be, but might also become read a book and fall asleep.
I guess I'm tired.

I may have missed it - have you had The Plague? That's life with a very mild case of Long COVID for me. Waking up every morning with the feeling in my bones of having put in a good solid day's work. Realising in the midst of chores that the rest of the job WILL be waiting until I've had a nap, and there's no way to bargain around that. And weirdest of all, waking from a nap to discover that I feel better, not worse, because it's what I needed. As far as I can see, that's the new normal for me, and I'm just grateful that I don't have it as bad as The Beloved.
