Seems kind of lame
Feb. 16th, 2010 08:28 pmSneetch and I have had quite a few conversations about exhaustion lately and I realised that he's busy complaining of something I remember being aware of for myself for as long as I can remember.
I am always tired unless I have forced myself to do a particular thing. And when I finish the thing, I'll sit down to work out what next and I'm tired again, and I need a large amount of self will to get moving again. Except for the time between getting up and 11ish, then I'm awake and can do anything. On days when I have a really good nap I can get a similar feeling going into the evening. It was really weird going out to one of mr-bassman's night time gigs after one of those naps. Socialising is so much easier when you're awake. [1]
Sneetch complains that he's always exhausted. I'm not saying that he and I are tired in the same way, but I do wonder.
OTOH, he manages to get up and go to school on time every morning (so far, but its only been a fortnight) and he will usually be able to go and hang out with his friends. He does frequently go to bed at 10pm and then complain of being tired in the morning. I've been wondering if he just need to develop som eof the coping mechanisms I've got, or if he should see a doctor, or eat more food.
Anyway, I can't think what to do so I'm off to read a book in bed, like I did last night.
[1] The socialising thing is a bit different in the last few years. Since being the Baroness I've discovered a switch in my head that lets me be vivacious and sociable with strangers regardless of how I'm feeling. Its been quite useful for work functions, I hand out lots more business cards these days, but it only works while I"m standing up.
