Exhaustion



To be exhausted is to be worn out, beat, bushed, pooped, done in, dog-tired, fatigue and just plum tired!

Last night’s respite was an odd lot since it was erratic. I turned in, whatever that really means… I suppose into the bed, since you do have to turn to get up on it that’s got to be what is meant, hmm?
Any-who, and that was around ten thirty and the next thing I hear is David Letterman interviewing Alec Baldwin, something about him and his newest wife, a Yoga instructor, having a baby girl three weeks ago and she is little sister to Ireland Baldwin his seventeen year old daughter from him and Kim Basinger and the fact that the two had not yet met.
So I felt I could watch this for a while, but than I tried taking off my glasses that I had fallen asleep with on and closed my eyes and used them as a background/ white noise to lull me back to sleep… I suppose it worked for a while, since the next thing I hear is Craig Ferguson's theme song… gotta love it! 

The Late Late Show Theme Song
Written by Craig Ferguson

It's hard to stay up
It's been a long, Long Day
And you got the sandman at the door
But hang on, leave the TV on
And let's do it anyway
It's ok
You can always sleep through work tomorrow, OK?
Hey hey
Tomorrow's just your future yesterday”

Believe me it is a very catchy tune and so I stayed up to see who his guests were, and did find his usual lunacy intoxicating… but not that intoxicating since, Gosh, now I was awake!

So I shut the TV off and went into the sun-room and turned this dumb thing on, wait that is not right, I must have turned this on between David and Craig, nah that’s right it was two-ish in the wee hours…
Geez, this happened to me, you would think I would be able to get the order correct, although, right now it feels a bit like jet lag, sort of, ya know?

Yep, after I think, not that important, but I did go into the living room and turn that TV on and left this techno marvel on, for what I have no idea, oh yeah that’s right I checked my FB page and emails and blog, news updates on Syria, Colorado flood and the Jersey Shore fire, you know the usual suspects, newsworthy events, once on these addictive pieces of equipment that we THINK we can’t be without, but if truth be known we would know we really CAN!

And me being the one with the dumb phone and ancient PC of nine and no cable TV for these last nineteen years, by choice; it boggles a sane mind! I guess than I am OK!

Well, as luck would have it my head and neck and all other body parts started to remind me why I wasn’t able to sleep to begin with and so I did my logical thing and made a cup of coffee. Sure I hear you saying coffee for someone who can’t sleep!
CRAZY! 
But for some reason, these days it has no other affect than helping me with my headache…and within a half an hour around three-ish I was heading back to bed and the next thing I knew it was like seven thirty! Good trick, hmm? Now who gets the last laugh with the Java sleep remedy, me, I guess!

In the end I did have another tummy ache, which cried for a big breakfast after I took the Pepcid, and within a couple of hours we were at the rehab/gym for my Friday deal and this the thirteenth! In my personal history Friday the thirteenths have been both good and bad for me… Hurricane Charley was on a Friday the thirteenth, my first stable MRI was taken on a Friday, a thirteenth, but on that same Friday the thirteenth of October 13. 2006, my niece passed away from colon cancer…
To me its’ sort of like Wednesdays, both our sons were born on Wednesdays but both my parents were buried on Wednesdays…and so I try NOT to be superstitious.
Hubby has been telling people and I did try to stop him and I do think he knows that what I said is true that the reason we aren’t buying a new car this year is because it is 2013, but that isn’t it! It’s because with all the devastation all over the country I am concerned that ‘NEW’ vehicles may have been moved south to get rid of after the floods and storms from last year. Now don’t tell me that’s paranoia, there have been stories over many years with that being the case, unbeknownst to the purchasers of those said vehicles; just playing it safe. I do believe we have a ‘Lemon Law’ here in Florida too as we had in NJ.

And we even ate out after the gym/rehab at a place we hadn’t been in quite some time, the Thai CafĂ©! We both ordered the duck, mine curried and Hubby’s crispy, sure a mistake with my known tummy issues, but I did it anyway!
Well, dummy here again had a dinner of chicken soup and club soda, we would’ve eaten light anyway, but mine had an appetizer of Pepcid with a Nexium chaser, my nightly prescribed ones, albeit.

Tonight, hopefully will be uneventful that is with just hours and hours of shut eye with that glorious REM sleep in the mix…two days off from exercise and then back to my every other day schedule!

PS the lovely duck lunch comes with soup, a broth with something similar to a crab Rangoon or some such thing, I did have hot tea, Hubby had water… all for under twenty bucks including tax but not including the tip… We are still using our MasterCard for Stand Up 2 Cancer for all meals over ten bucks a portion goes to them, until told otherwise… I think it is up around the nineteenth of this month.
I hope I was coherent tonight, since my brain fog is coming in now loud and not so clear, but I must fight it off I cannot go to bed early or I will be up during the night in the middle of it! Gotta hang in there until at least ten-ish or there about?

On that note of who knows what, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know who and we will too!

PS When we went out today, for some reason, I shut this thing down, like I do every night these days, doesn’t change a thing…must have had my days and nights mixed up? OH BABY LOL!

Which way will the war go?
