5/16 A good (and lazy) Saturday

Jane and I weighed in at WW and both did very well. Then Gussie and I went to the office for more than three hours. Afterward I came home and have been sleeping off and on. Have a terrible headache--a sure sign the weather will get bad again. Maybe it's a stress headache though and not related to weather at all. We'll see. And stress is probably why I'm so tired. But I move offices on Wednesday even though I'm still "the boss" until June 1.

Am on call right now so my slumber has been interrupted by crisis calls. How dare they! :)

4/30 I'm not tired

Like hell I'm not. Another 12 hour day. Can't wait until June 1--the day I'm no longer a supervisor.

4/28/09 Have I ever said I'm tired?

That was a joke question. I know I say it all the time. But I am really tired and looking forward to going to bed in an hour or so and watching the DVR versions of Dancing with the Stars and Biggest Loser. Gussie is already sleeping--he had a wonderful day with his pals at Alpha Dog. I got to hold a puppy again today. They are adorable.

4/16 Unbelievably tired

I've been awake since yesterday morning. Yesterday we had so many screenings and they continued all night long. As the supervisor on call I didn't have to leave my home but still had to consult with people at emergency rooms, police stations, and homes. My last call was at 3:45 this morning and by then I couldn't sleep.

So I worked all day and took a 20 minute "power nap" on the floor of my office during lunch time. Had to work until 6:30 tonight, then rushed home to get my article written, grab a sandwich and hit the sack. I'm so happy Gussie is at Alpah Dog.

4/9 Still tired? You betcha

I just got home a little while ago after teaching a class to parents for my job. Gus is at Alpha and I really miss the little critter. Will see him tomorrow after I do two things--work on my taxes and go to physical therapy. Am off tomorrow. Yeah!

3/27 Too tired

So tired that I fell asleep in the recliner and didn't even wake up for two phone calls. Plus my sister Jan came into the house, spoke to me, sat in the living room with me and watched TV, all the while I'm snoring. Now that's tired. I didn't know she was there until she told me when I saw her later. Can't believe it.

Tonight's article--Feel-good Friday: He helps people change their violent ways

Oh, and I went out to dinner with a bunch of family tonight. That was great.

3/19 Still yawning

I'm still yawning most of the day from my new meds, but I've heard it can take three to four weeks before your body gets used to them, so I'm waiting (im)patiently. :) Jordan worked on my yard today and it looks lots better already. He's going to finish tomorrow. Thanks, Jordan.
