one tired girl


With the bustle and hustle of everyday life, we often find ourselves revving up on stimulants of sorts to get through our days. Coffee is an absolute must for me every morning and even though I've tried to ditch it, somehow I keep having my hot cup of joe come morning time. Besides that I pretty much don't rev up on any other energy boosters, well, perhaps the occasional sugary snack. Which takes me to a place in search for alternatives for my much needed energy. It goes like this....My body is searching for: the adequate strength and vitality needed to sustain my physical and mental daily activities, HELP! So with a little self talk I grabbed a bottle of daily vitamins, and supplements, a ginkgo tea(for memory, clarity and alertness), healthy meals, and lots of water. How about a long hot bath, some mindless t.v. and even a really good book at the end of the day? Throw in some exercise with my dog and plenty of rest, I should be good. But did I mention I picked up another part-time job and entered myself into a pie contest? This should be interesting!

missing: sleep!

poster by ashleyg

Eeek! Lack of sleep made a zombie out of me throughout the day. Perhaps it was the time change, drinking coffee in the evening, bizarre dreams(better off not sharing!), the dog and cats running through the house during sleeping hours, or the fact that I had worn myself too thin with projects throughout the day. Whatever it was I had a teeny amount of sleep, far from my usual long stretch of sleep time that often surpasses the recommended amount. I woke up feeling very awkward, disconnected yet full of stumbling, uncoordinated energy, and so I had a few cups of coffee and off I went. Only to find myself crashing severely shortly thereafter. No computer access throughout the day, plus the sleepy state of affairs kept me away from posting anything, not that I had a single clear idea on my mind except coming home and catching some good zzz's.
