Blah-ness

Life is super blah at the moment, and I am not sure why. Granted, I do this a few times out of the year... No motivation, no excitement, just blah. I have not been sleeping well for the past two weeks. Either it takes forever to fall asleep or I wake up numerous times during the night. This past week, Ariel and I have started carpooling together... and we've been in the building by 0530 every-stinken-morning for the past three days. Instead of my normal "Oh, let's hit snooze." two to three times in the morning, I am forced to jump out of bed and hit the ground running. This is not a bad thing, because I do get to leave NAVO much earlier in the day. But not falling asleep fast combined with 0407 wake-up calls, it eventually catches up with you.

And now I have some sort of sickness, either a sinus infection or a cold. Sunday and Monday were horrible headache days, throbbing above my left eye and pulsing above my left top teeth. Claritin D and Advil kicked them to the ground, but I woke up yesterday morning with a super stuffy nose. Most the day yesterday, I was okay. But last night, the stuffiness returned, and I was awake around midnight because of it. I took another Claritin D and stayed up about an hour until the medicine started working. I opted out of carpooling and slept in until 0430. May I state for the record that I would much rather throw up 3-4 times than have a cold that last 3-4 longer.

I am just blah. There is really nowhere that I want to be... not home, not the apartment, not here at work, not in Sumter, not at the beach, nowhere. I am bummed that this might ruin my exercise routine that I have been working on. Should I run in the humid heat with a cold? Grrr. And it just hit me, nearly in the form of tears, how much I miss Fred. This is stupid because I will see him in less than two weeks. I blame the tears on a screwy sleeping pattern and the frustration of sniffling and sneezing. I would just love to fast-forward a week and leave this nappiness behind.

I guess this weekend will be me sitting on my tail, drinking vitamin juice, drinking liquids in general, watching TV and/or reading, and maybe a walk later in the afternoon. Cheers! Cheers to blah-ness. May it pass and pass quickly.
