In the land of gloom and exhaustion...
So, I know as #1 GAL I'm supposed to be invincible to the blues, but I'm not.
I finally got a chance to get some rest and I actually feel worse than when I was ripping and running. I'm so exhausted this week, I can't believe how my body is betraying me. And I have no interest in leaving the bed, let alone the house, or even pretending to deal with anyone's crap today. But alas, I have no choice. I've gone through all of the possible medical reasons I could feel this way (of course) and all I can deduce is maybe it's hormonal. I hope that's all it is.
Granted -- I know I have many reasons to feel pooped out, the crazy schedule, the emotions involved with taking care of patients, being a doctor for the first time and so on... but even sleep-deprived, dehydrated, forgetting to pee for 5 hours, having a stomach virus (twice since June), a sinus infection, and caffeine withdrawal never had me feeling like this. I'm stumped.
The other related factor is we're on day #6 of straight gloom up here and I think it's severely taking its toll. I have faith that the sun will show its face again before the fall comes... I do. But, until then, I will continue to fall asleep in weekly lectures, lose my temper at things I used to ignore, dread going to work, and hit the snooze button 50 times before I actually get up (instead of my usual 25 times).
I thought things would be on the upswing soon, given my very specific horoscope from tarot.com on Tuesday...

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better and brighter day --

"Reality has an obstacle or two to place in your way now, as Saturn is in its final week of visiting your sign. Consider the extraordinary pressures you have faced since August, 2005, to see what you can learn from the past two years. Remember, awareness is crucial; if you can understand your role in what's happening, then you can push through to the other side."But, alas, I'm still in the land of gloom and my h'scopes from yesterday and today are even more depressing. I think I need to find something to help re-center myself. Maybe I'll go shopping for sun lamps soon... This one looks good:
