It is Sunday around noon. Normally I would be leaving church about now. My grandson has strep throat so we are home. Doing very little...IPAD....LAPTOP...sleeping, falling asleep. I personally have been on the verge of falling asleep since we returned from the urgent care last night. I have finally gotten up and am in a semi-state of wakefulness. I feel as if I have been drugged. Last night I basically fell onto my bed and slept. Woke up two hours later, took night meds, fell onto the bed again and slept. Woke up at 6 a.m. for a short time with no sense of anything other than a compelling urge to sleep more. At this moment I am on the edge of sleep but trying to be awake to do something around this place. Couldn't text...kept falling asleep. Took me forever to get a text off to my pastor. Fell asleep multiple times.
I have periodic times when my body, especially lower back and legs are in absolute turmoil. My body seems to have gone to war with itself. I am uncomfortable day and night for 3 to 4 days. I bet if I had been paying attention I would find that this absolute exhaustion follows one of those episodes.
Doctors have not made a diagnosis. They give me medication for restless legs but that has no power when an episode hits and fully engages me. My thinking goes fuzzy, I am clumsy, my muscles pull in my feet and my back aches across the lower part. Then it goes away. So weird.
Meanwhile my wonderful grandson is playing music on the ipad and recovering from strep throat and hubby is zonked out in bed. The cats are languishing in various hiding places. No energy here. No smarts to access.
Can't find the thermometer. Can't find triple A batteries. Can't find my arse with both my hands. I am drifting through the day. The entire household is drifting through. If the trailer were moving it would be floating along a few feet off the ground fueled by a serious lack of ambition.
Is this what they call a "lazy sunday"? If my name were Susan I could be a "lazy Susan"! Irrelevelant. So irrelevant.
Hope you are having a lovely Sunday and that you can find your way out of a paperback.
