That Tired, Rundown Feeling

The past few weeks have been incredibly busy, so I have been losing a lot of sleep. Combined with sinusitis and an iffy diet, I am currently a shell of my former self. I have been concocting all kinds of schemes to get more sleep, everything from renting a hotel room and taking the phone off the hook to parking my car in a remote area just to rest my eyes for a couple of hours. I have scarfed down more coffee than usual, and I even bought an energy drink, which I keep forgetting to put in my purse because sleep deprivation has negatively affected my short-term memory. I've heard that not getting enough sleep can lead to weight gain, car wrecks and so on. I've nodded behind the wheel a couple of times already, so I have got to get more rest somehow. My best option would be to spend Christmas Eve unconscious, and although I dread waiting until then for sweet slumber, I guess I must do what I have to do to minimally function until that glorious day when I can rest and look forward to seeing the six bags under each eye disappear for good.

"And on the 7th day he rested." If he can rest considering all his marvelous work, you gotta rest too, Latasha. Take a large dose of Nyquil and go on in, LW. What miracles are you performing LW as you miss all this work? Tell us about them! Get yourself a husband, LW.
