Damn, did someone drug my tea?

I'm beyond tired, to the point of drifting off while on the phone with users. I ended up using my 1/2 hr lunch for a nap, because I just couldn't function any more. This is after two shots of espresso in my breve on the way in, and thirty-six ounces of strong black tea. I didn't stay up late last night, I didn't sleep particularly restlessly... I did wake up with a headache and muscle pain, though, and took some meds for that. The exhaustion might be a side-effect, although ibuprofen and flexeril don't usually affect me that way. Or it might be fibromyalgia-related fatigue, which strikes me as equally likely.

Whichever it is, it's really make the day creep by. I can't focus on anything well enough to distract myself. And, it turns out I'm patient-instructing tonight; Steph called me to work a make-up session for one of the nursing students. And tonight is Smallville and Angel; I'll be very bummed if I end up needing to sleep instead of catching them.

Something that might help, if you've got a couple minutes, is to go do something to get your heartrate up. When I'm exhausted, a little pacing around helps my body get hip at least for a little while. It's a drag when you're already achy but it's usually worth it.

Yeah, I really should start using the gym. Since I quit smoking, I don't wander around during the day at all, because that used to be when I'd go out for smoke breaks.

They might be, if it continues to be a problem, and I think I have some at home.
