I made an unspoken deal with myself this year.  I said, ‘Self, let’s try to blog every day again.  But let’s not talk incessantly about how tired you are.  Let’s just agree that being exhausted is status quo and therefore unnecessary to pontificate on.”

Whether it seems obvious or not, I have actually tried not to blog about headaches and fatigue and all the things that are part of my daily life.  I have tried – with varying degrees of success – to blog about my thoughts or other, possibly more interesting, things.

I am tired tonight.  The kind of tired that starts with a burn  in my shoulder and progresses to bone deep cold and culminates in brain fog and the loss of any sense of balance.  I’m just reaching out for something to hold onto to keep me upright.

I meant to blog earlier today (as I often do) but life happened – family drama and bookkeeping and laundry and dinner.  You know the things – the things that have to be done but take up time and energy.  The latter of which is in very short supply for me.

Anyway.  My hope is that I read this blog post tomorrow and it makes some sort of sense.  Right now, I’m going to put on pajamas and climb under multiple blankets next to a space heater and hope to stop shivering and fall asleep.
