Day made of lead

[auntiemeesh]

I woke up at 6:30 with bad cramps. Fed the kitties, took advil, went back to sleep. Got up again at 9:30, got dressed, shovelled several inches of wet, gross snow off the sidewalk, decided I was still far too tired and head heavy to be awake, put my pjs back on and went back to bed. Got up at 10:45, tried again, had breakfast, checked email and lj, decided nope, really still just too tired for life. Slept until 4:15.

Now I'm struggling with the awful groggy feeling of a five hour nap and the knowledge that I'll never be able to sleep tonight, while still sort of feeling like I just want to go back to bed. I hate having my period, I really, really do.

Thanks. Just yesterday I was thinking I got off easy because I hadn't been hit with my usual fatigue, lol.

I hope you have a day of Dove Dark Chocolate tomorrow to make up for it! *Hugs*

Well, at least a snickerdoodle cookie day, maybe. :)

Ugh, I'm the same boat. I feel guilty for everything I'm not doing, but you know what? Whatever.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Some days are just like this, I suppose. Hopefully, tomorrow will be more functional for both of us.

Thanks. I feel better now that I've actually managed to stay awake for a few hours, lol.

I'm feeling better now that I'm actually awake. I hate that groggy feeling after a too-long nap.

I was half thinking about watching the bronze game tonight, which shouldn't be too hard to stay up for, since I slept till midafternoon, lol.

My day was the reverse of yours. I work nights so I was trying to sleep today and didn't have much luck. Now, I am on my night shift job yawning because I didn't sleep today! We need to trade jobs for a few days.
Feel better.

I hope you sleep better tomorrow! I'll be you tomorrow, yawning all day because I'm sure I won't sleep well tonight.

I hate periods with a fiery passion! Ever since I had two surgeries on my cervix the cramps are horrendous, and I have to take vicoden to make it through a day if I'm at work.

Hope you feel better soon, hon. I say take some more advil and curl up under the blankets for some rest.

The cramps actually went away with the first dose of advil. It's the fatigue that's been killing me the past year or so. I just get absolutely flattened by it when I've got my period.

Wait till the hot flashes and night sweats start, sweetie. Oh, it's great being a woman sometimes...

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Can't wait. *sigh*

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Hope you soon feel better. I know that feeling all too well.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Surprisingly, I slept well last night and I'm feeling back to normal today. :)

Sounds like you really needed to sleep. I've been having cramps as well and slept in, but not that long

*hugs*

I hope you feel better today!

After surprisingly being able to sleep pretty well last night, I'm all back to normal today. I hope you're feeling better, as well!

*hugs*
