Some days I just have no energy. Zero energy left in the energy pot. It’s all gone.
Okay I’m being major dramatic- but the other night I did go to bed at 8.40pm! Twenty-five going on 75 am I right? Even my Nan stays up later than that. (She is super cool though and watches late night crime docs and still gets her hair and nails done, what a gal!)
But some days I struggle to batter out a 100 word picture caption at work
because my brain is so fuzzy and I can’t concentrate. Some days it takes me until 10.30am for my body to fully switch on and get in the zone- a whole hour and a half into my shift. And some days oh how I WISH there was an autoimmune day where you could just phone work and say “nope sorry my body is not complying today”.
It can be hard when your body is working against itself and you’re using up more energy than most to do simple, mundane tasks. And then there’s the sugar and carb cravings because you need a pick me up to feel more alert and alive but in turn they make you MORE sleepy and distracted (not to mention the bloated belly and rapid couple extra pounds weight gain- what is that? The audacity).
Can’t win.
I usually like a positive ending to my blog posts but today I just can’t be bothered. And that’s okay. (Eyyyy we got there in the end).
Stay tuned for part II on how I curb the fatigue!
