My Worst Enemy


FATIGUE!  In the last 6 months, I can count on one hand, how many decent night sleeps I’ve had.    I’m finding it is having an impact on most everything I do, especially my training.  I’m scared to sit down with fears that I may not get back up again.  I am a person who enjoys always doing something, not  sitting around watching the grass grow.  However, somehow there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to accomplish what I have on my list or the energy to do so.  I can feel the fatigue in my joints and muscles, my memory, my mental alertness and lack of motivation.  Last Thursday night I went for my MRI on my knee, and even with the muffled sound of a jack hammer by my head, I actually fell asleep!    Today as I was painting the deck and was sitting down to reach low stuff, I could have fallen asleep in the paint tray, I was so tired.  I really need to figure this out.

So now I am trying to do what I can to wind down before hitting the hay.  I can’t say I have been very successful yet.  Here’s to hoping for a good night sleep tonight!
