I JUST DONT GET IT

 

          I just don’t get it. How can I go from feeling great and accomplishing a whole bunch of stuff followed by a fairly good night’s sleep to waking up and feeling as though I’ve been run over by a bus? I just don’t get it.

          Yesterday, I cut down all the plants in the back garden, literally filling up my entire yard waste can. I also changed my bed, did laundry, made my dinner, took a shower and washed my hair. I felt good and proud of myself for what I’d accomplished when I went to bed…a very good feeling. I even had a fairly good night’s sleep although calf cramps woke me up a couple of times. My Fitbit says I slept eleven hours and twenty-eight minutes…that includes the hour and twenty-three minutes from going back to bed this morning.

          So, how could I wake up feeling as though I’d barely slept. I logged almost nine hours of sleep, although I do think my Fitbit didn’t record it properly…I was up for at least a half hour because I needed to use the potty and that doesn’t appear to be recorded as other than a short awake time. Yet, here I am grousing through my fingers about still feeling tired.

So, I’m not going to my exercise class although I will do my stretches and physical therapy when I leave this keyboard. Even so, I don’t feel as though I want to do them…I’d just like to go right back to bed. I still feel extremely tired. I just don’t get it.
