Day two of three

am I being lazy? 


I worked four straight days. I never work four and rarely work three straight. I’m exhausted. Yesterday I slept till noon but still only had ten hours which is normal. 


But today I slept till one thirty and that was 13 hours. Probably too much but I slept straight through without waking up. Most days I only get 8ish so I’m guesssing I was just lacking sleep. Tomorrow I’ll try not to sleep so much. 


Last week totaled 32 work hours which is minimum full time but I only asked for 24 hours from my boss. I’m just pooped and extra tired today.

In the past, I usually had the same issue. Do you have any problems eating or find yourself binge watching a show? Somethings after a stressful few days I deal with a small bout of depression. Too much sleep, no appetite, and binge watching are things I always try to remain of aware of.

Well, my appetite hasn’t been beat lately but that’s nothing new. I’m afraid to eat some food because I will Gaga after a few bites. Other foods I just don’t eat because they will get stuck in my braces. I just ordered some autumn squash soup and a strawberry smoothie from Panera.

Sounds like you have a right to be a little bit tired. You had a busy holiday season, you went through the loss of your Nana, and now your working double the norm. A few extra hours sleep won't hurt you, just try not to make it the norm.

Take care,

I think the holidays can be extra busy and sometimes stressful for people ….. Your body told you that you needed some extra rest.... I'm glad that you got it ….xo
