I've been feeling extremely tired over the last few days, and I don't really know why. I feel as though I haven't been sleeping well, even though I know I've been out like a light over the past few nights. It feels as though I may or may not be coming down with something (which would totally SUCK as missing days means no pay for me...I get no vacation days! :( ) and I'm making sure that I get enough sleep and whatnot.

I'm figuring one reason for this might be that my eating habits were askew while Emm was gone (yeah, I did the bachelor thing and snacked and/or made something small instead of going the whole hog). I found myself insanely hungry yesterday after I picked Emm up from the airport (and proceeded to make a pig of myself at the Empire), and also had a really good hot bowl of beef stew last night, but I still feel tired.

I was also wondering if it might be something psychosomatic, as over the last four years when I worked at YC, this was about the time that Q4 started, which meant 5am or 4am starts and six-day work weeks with an insane amount of box-lifting. This is the first fourth quarter in a while where I'm not being run into the ground by heavy work, and perhaps my body is gearing up for it out of habit. Sure, it sounds crazy, but it wouldn't surprise me either. ;)

So right now I have some java next to my computer and some Dr. Pepper to drink later on. I don't feel sick, I just have this feeling of exhaustion right now, and I hope it goes away soon. It's putting a damper on my writing time as well as wanting to do other things. I even passed up watching another Firefly episode (sorry, Emm) because I didn't think I'd have the energy to pay attention to it.

So what if lack of oxygen to the brain is par for the course with me? ;) (Sorry, had to put a bit of self-effacing humor in there... :p )

That would probably make sense, and tie in with my weird Q4 theory too. Maybe my body is expecting me to rev up the action like it has for the past few years. That would also make sense, as there have been a few times over the past few days where I felt slightly dizzy and thought it was just out of exhaustion. Nothing major, just "I feel like putting my head down and sleeping right now" dizzy, and it only lasts for a few seconds.

...and looking down at my gut at the moment, perhaps exercise isn't such a bad idea... ;)
