wherein Liz is tired, and annoyed about being tired
Things I intended to do today: a lot.
Things I actually did today: maybe half of that? Which was still a fair bit, and included getting sort of half-done with some of the unfinished items so I can do them properly tomorrow, so I'm not terribly annoyed.
I think what bugs me most is that I have been very tired lately. As in, when I have a day off I invariably seem to require a two hour (or three hour) nap in the afternoon or early evening, regardless of whether I've been getting adequate sleep in the preceding days. I don't know if this is a depression symptom or something else. I suppose for the moment my best bet is to continue maintaining a regular sleep schedule and see if this settles out or fades as the days get longer. Hmm. Also I could probably stand to use my little Verilux light during the afternoons as well as during breakfast and see if that makes a difference.
But hey, I washed all my laundry (even if I didn't fold and put anything away yet); I bought some cheap red wine, started thawing beef, and pulled out my slow-cooker to make pot roast tomorrow; I roasted zucchini and eggplant so I have vegetable accompaniment for the next few days; I took my kitchen compost to the communal bin; I checked out an interesting book from the library; I wrote my to-do lists for the coming week; I've been listening to a Great Courses audio series about US constitutional law; and I got through another handful of Magnus Archives episodes as I approach the end of season 2. Like I said, still a fair bit, especially when you figure in the 2.5 hour nap. *wry*
