Sick, Tired, and Sleepy

Have you ever been sick, tired, and sleepy all at the same time? Well, prior to today, I would have thought that it was IMPOSSIBLE to have three conditions simultaneously...



Condition #1: Sick

After getting 3.5 hours of sleep last night, I was fortunate enough to wake up this morning to begin my day at work. Today's task required me to wake up at 6:45am so I could arrive in Franklin, GA by 9:30a.m. Usually, I find myself feeling alive and alert while battling rush-hour traffic, but today was different. I felt sick. Not the "pregnant sick" or the "go to the bathroom sick"--a different kind of sick. The kind of sick that made it difficult for me to sit up straight. If I had to create an adjective to describe this feeling it would be "pissedizzy". There it is.... "pissedizzy sick". I was so pissed off that I had to wake up that early...it made me dizzy! While my head was spinning, all I could think about was filling up my gas tank over the weekend....what's that all about?



Condition #2: Tired
I'm tired of my phone ringing constantly. I HATE ALL PHONES. Why do people have to call? I know it sounds shady, but I don't really understand the purpose unless I'm the one initiating the call. I mean--isn't that why we have email and text paging? Someone besides me thought it would be a great idea to be able to communicate with people without having to hear or watch their annoying little lips move up and down--right?....

For the past 3 weeks I've been providing crisis counseling to an adoptive family. Four days ago the parents decided that they were not going through with the adoption because of the young person's tantrums. Although I get paid to understand, there's a large part of me that doesn't. I'm tired of people starting something they can't finish--especially when it affects the mental health of a child....



Condition #3: Sleepy

I'm sooo sleepy I've been trying to take naps while I blink. I almost had an orgasm walking past my bed --the thought of getting in it was way too arousing---

Some people would just go to bed, but I can't. Instead, here I am....sitting in front of this computer screen sharing intimate thoughts regarding my day.

Why has thou forsaketh me?



Counselor tip of the day: Doing too many things at once can drive you crazy!
