40 Days Till 40 (Day 19)


CHARGE!  AND THEN RE-CHARGE

My phone battery has been having trouble keeping its charge.  Even though I plug in the phone on a semi-regular basis, the phone’s energy will be zapped by the end of the day, sometimes even in a few hours.  I am not using it any more (or any less) than usual, so I am not entirely sure what is causing this problem? 

Personally, I feel kind of the same way.  Some days, I find it more difficult to recharge.  Typically, I can handle only getting a few hours of sleep (6-8 at the most usually works for me), but lately it seems that my sleep is more restless than not, perhaps due to the weird dreams that often plague me.

This morning, a friend of mine sent me a text at around 6:45am.  This is not something that I would normally be annoyed by as I am often up well before that time.  Today, however, I was in the throes of a frantic sleep.  When her text came through, I was dreaming about blowing up balloon bouquets (Damn!  Where are the purple balloons?) and being propositioned by a married man.  I blurrily answered the text—and promptly fell asleep for another hour.  Or I tried to, anyway.  By the time my alarm went off, I had clocked almost 10-11 hours of sleep.  Granted, they weren’t consecutive, being fragmented by bouts of wakefulness and odd dreams, but that is A LOT for me.  Clearly something is going on that is draining my battery. 

Perhaps it is a mad-dash schedule (even though I am on work hiatus, that doesn’t mean I am any less busy)?   Or maybe it’s lack of “real” exercise?  Too little protein maybe?  Gah.  Whatever it is, I clearly have to find a way to retain my charge.

Until tomorrow, Lovelies….
