I don't know what bug I've caught, but it's kicking my ass. The cold part is still lingering, but isn't too bad. My nose is only somewhat stuffy and while I do need to blow it, I can at least breathe out of it. There's still crap in my lungs, but I'm coughing it up. However, I'm tired. Beyond tired, I'm exhausted. It doesn't matter how much sleep I get at night. When I'm awake, I'm more exhausted than I've ever been in my entire life. I've had periods of serious sleep deprivation during law school and when Gabriel was a newborn and I wasn't as tired then as I am now. Now it's an effort to stay awake and keep my eyes open. It's painful to stay awake, but I have to do so. I have to force myself awake and to power through the day so I can watch Gabriel and get things like laundry and the like done around the house.

Vitamin water, coffee, red bull, etc. are doing nothing to wake me up.

I'm also dizzy. The room is constantly spinning around me. The dizziness goes away when I lay down and is tolerable when I'm sitting. But when I stand... damn. I'm also having difficulty thinking and concentrating and feel fuzzy headed all the time, but that could be due to how insanely tired I am.

I don't know if this is a nasty cold or what, but I just want it to go away. I'm used to being tired most of the time because it's rare for me to get the sleep my body needs, but this exhaustion is ridiculous. I can barley function and when Rob gets home from work all I want to do is head to sleep.

You Are Tomato Juice

You are unusual and unconventional. Some people find you a bit overpowering. You're not normal, and that's totally okay with you. You're comfortable in your own skin. You are outspoken and quirky. There's nothing subtle about you. And while you're powerful, you're not stubborn. You can be quite flexible and adaptable.
