Still Numb as a Pounded Thumb After All These Years

The other day I mentioned I was no linger able to burn the candle at both ends.  Apparently my recent version of burning the candle as long as the sun is out is also more of a bite than I can chew now.  Guess there is another skill I need to get a handle on.  When the exhaustion continues after I wake up, then I guess I need to make some adjustments.

The concept of pacing myself has always eluded me.   Full tilt boogie only worked when I was younger and numm-er.

Today, Thursday, I sit in the bike shop so beat I couldn't find a clue if someone handed it to me.  There are repairs sitting un-repaired, paperwork ignored, and orders still pending that should have gone in yesterday.  Topping it off, I am breaking my one cardinal, hard rule regarding the separation of blog and work.  No blogging while on duty.  But what else can I do?  Apparently not much.  ........
................ Uh, could you hand me my coffee cup?  It's just out of reach.

Later Gator ...............................................

I should mow the property, maybe tomorrow.

Waking up tired can be a symptom of diabetes.

I was thinking the same thing as Kulkuri, which reminds me I need to go for a check-up. Also you could be just plain old fashioned burned out. None of us are as young as we once were and maybe you need a holiday? When does work slow down?

Around where I am, the pollen counts are at levels not seen in over two decades, and folks all over who never have allergies usually (like me) are all feeling run down and a lot worse for wear due to the enormous pollen bloom. Maybe that is part of what you are feeling if Maine is experiencing a similar bloom?
