something's off
and don't tell me it's the church thing, cuz i don't think it's that. but something's off. i either don't sleep, and then am tired, or i get a good chunk of sleep (like last night and the night before), and then am tired. trying to find a book to read at my house, and nothing's appealing to me, not even 'les mis.' thought maybe i could watch a movie since i'm so tired, and nothing sounds appealing.
i'm so tired. so tired. bleh.
i'm so tired. so tired. bleh.

i suppose it is january in mn, which isn't the most fun time of the year, what with grey skies and brutal cold and snow. bleh.
i was going to say that, too... the weather...
but also that i think we go in cycles throughout the months/years where we have energy and then we're tired and then we're excited about stuff and then we're bored. Sometimes for no reason at all. Sorry you must be in the slump part. if it helps, i didn't fall asleep till after 7am this morning, and then woke around 11:30am. Needless to say, I've missed church two weeks in a row, too. i'm heading back to bed right now, 4:15pm, to try for a short nap and hopefully the evening sleep won't be ruined by it. Hope something will come up soon to brighten your spirits! (maybe in the form of a baby well-named...)
SAD? (Seasonal Affective Disorder)
I agree with Auto about the ebbing and flowing, but obviously I don't know if that's it. Have you been going to your other church? Because it seems like you get a lot out of that. :) A well-named baby, the pressure!! Gah, can't believe how soon it is.
Ooh! I bet it's because I haven't been on Facebook all week. I will return tomorrow, and then you'll feel better. ;)
i've missed a few weeks at my other church, too, because of the holidays and then the bitter cold this wednesday. so i suppose it could be that. and it is very sad to not have you around chelley. sadly i won't be around tomorrow because of hp book club (got cancelled thursday because of the snow). and yes, a well-named baby sounds quite brightening. :)
also, i think i do better when i go to work. i worked from home two days this week. i like being there cuz that's my social time. at home it's too easy to feel blah when tired. there when tired you at least get people to liven things up.
how weird am i? ;)
How is that weird? :P Oh, I suppose the wanting to go to work part. That's a good thing though. You're just blessed. :)
I'm still on Skype, you know... ;)
i don't know if i know how to download skype to windows 8. windows 8 is stupid.
Win 8 is stupid! :)
I hope you figure it out- the tired and disinterested thing. Well, the skype thing too really.
Are you taking Vit D? I would think the getting out to work would be huge, especially since you have to get outside and get a bit of fresh air/some sun in order to do it. And the social interaction! So much better than spending all day and night in the same place!
But yes, back to the Vit D thing- I take enough pills and don't want to take more. Since getting sick, I've (been desperate and) started imagining the sun is shining on me since I can't go outside right now without hacking up a lung -and it's actually working!!! Who knew!??! I really do feel better and more alive when I imagine that it's summer and I'm outside, fresh breeze, garden growing, kids laughing about a water gun fight, skateboards going down the street...
I do better when I have to leave the house, too. Plus, I think January can just be hard. The weather sucks and you're coming off the holidays. Whether they were good or bad or in-between, they were probably a LOT of something. And it's dark all the time. I don't know - but I think I fight a bit of depression most often in January. Hoping you feel better about things this week...
my mother has told me a few times that i should take vitamin d. i told her it's in milk and i'm sure it's in my multi-vitamins and i don't go outside and get sun in the summer either so it shouldn't make a difference, but it probably wouldn't hurt me to take some. i like that the imagining works for you. :)
Right?? I'm envious of that too! (the imagining thing)
Oh you can totally do it; just think of your favourite place in the summer, and then sit and go for a walk in your brain. I'm either walking with Mel up the hill by some jolly old cows behind a stone fence, or in my garden with the kids playing up in the tree house, telling them oh-so-sternly to never shoot the mother with the water gun!
aw, i feel the love! glad i can be there with you! :)
