Just tired - not 'fatigue' just stinkin tired today! Happy Friday!

[sengelhardt]

So I just wanted to reach out to all of you and wish you a Happy Friday! I am just tired today.. not MS fatigue or anything, just tired. Amazingly there is a difference!

Its been a long week for me and I have a million different things on my mind today and just can't stay focused at work. I think I need to create myself a list and make some journal notes to keep it all together for the next couple weeks!

I have a sick husband (pnemonia - hes on steroids, antibiotics.. enhaler) - you wives out there know what thats like! I take care of my 84 year old grandmother, and now this morning she has started coughing - which means I will need to make her a Dr appt soon or take her to the ER this weekend. I have an ex husband who hasn't called our son in over a year, nor seen him in two years who just emailed me the other day wanting to get back in touch with our 8 year old son. I have a friend who is going through a tough divorce situation that is adding stress to my life just because I care about what happens to her. AND I have a huge Halloween party we are hosting next weekend! This is all on top of my Dr. appointments, our boys schedules, my work and my school work!

No wonder why I am tired! LOL

I am not whining or complaining, just venting a little to those who might understand and won't take offense to my stress over such a busy time in my life. If I vented to my husband I am sure it would upset him that I even remotely thought he was part of my stress.. LOL

So anyone else got a crazy life right now?

Bless your heart! You've got enough on your plate to make you tired! That wore me out just reading about it. I hope you get some relief and rest soon.

My life's been a bit nuts this week too, but it's all work related. I worked 10.5 hours on Monday, 11.5 hours on Tuesday, and 14 hours on both Thursday and Friday. That's 50 hours in just four days. Needless to say, I'm exhausted and I think I'm having a flare-up of symptoms, but don't know if it's from fatigue or a true flare-up. I do have a three-day weekend, so I don't go anywhere or do anything on Fridays. I just try to recuperate from the week. Next week shouldn't be as bad. I just have 5 hours each on Monday and Tuesday, then my normal 14-hours each on Wednesday and Thursday. At least I hope that's all. Something always seems to come up that keeps me there longer.

Try to get some rest and some "you" time.

Big hugs,

Lisa
