Notes from Tired

Dear Blog,

Here's the short of it:  I woke up this morning not feeling awesome, having only slept 7 hours the night before (my body needs 8), and unable to fall back asleep.  I made myself breakfast, sat down to work, and got my HumTut reading done.  I took a walk this morning, because I haven't been doing nearly enough of that and being inside the house has me feeling really cooped up.  I got back from the walk - only beginning to feel bad at the very end - and collapsed in front of the television.

I didn't really recover.  My head was a mess.  I managed to work on my paper after lunch, but there's a lot of it I'm not entirely happy with.  I've got the option of a rewrite, which is reassuring, but I'm not sure I'll have the time.

I've been wasting my time a lot lately.  I know I only have so much useful "brain time," and I've been wasting it.  I've been staying up late and stressing myself out and not getting exercise and eating poorly.  I haven't had time to read or write.  No wonder I'm exhausted and sick again.

I don't want to miss class tomorrow, though I'm afraid I might.  On two different thermometers this afternoon my body temperature read 3 degrees below normal.  I usually read a little low, but not that low.  I don't want to get sicker... but I don't want to miss class.

I do want to get into better habits regarding my school work.  I've been pretty bad about it all lately.  I'm twenty years old; I'm all, "I want to move out" and "I want to do things myself" but I can't get my act together.

Here's to hoping my body temp goes up by the morning.

Night,

Judith
