An Energy-less Week: Sunday, March 28, 2010
I felt pretty crappy most of this past week. Monday and Tuesday were OK … which was good because at work I had a few meetings to attend and partake in, but the rest of the week was down-right awful. By the time Friday came around I simply had to take a half-day off, and left early, just before lunch.
It’s hard to pick out any one thing that was wrong … and in reality, nothing was wrong with anything at work … it was me. I couldn’t get comfortable, couldn’t get enough sleep no matter how much I slept, and every time I ate something I felt sicker then ever. I guess that’s the way it goes sometimes … it’s certainly not always like that, but it seems to come and go in waves.
The weekend wasn’t much better, although for the first time in more then six months we went out together (Alberic, Sher and I) to the stores. Not that we haven’t been out, but I haven’t been to a department store in at least six months. It’s a real challenge going to these places … you know like Walmart, Sears … that type of place. It was busy and crowded and I felt like I was moving too slow … but I did manage to make my way through the store with Al leading the way to the toy department! … or I should say the “electronics department”.
We picked up another Wii remote and a memory card so that I could copy all the family photos onto one card (makes viewing easier). Two weeks ago I had picked up a game called Guitar Hero that we’ve been having a lot of fun with. That’s one thing I can do without burning up lot’s of energy! Guitar Hero is so much fun to play … someday I’ll write a real review of it. I also bought the Beatles game because it used the same instrument controllers. Basically, it’s like a karaoke machine on steroids, way too much fun.
The last few nights I have slept long and hard, but still don’t seem to have any more energy then I had before.
Basically, I let this entire weekend go by without doing a damn thing except play a few games in hopes of building up enough for this coming week. No business, no programming, no AhShitBobsSick … no nothing. The only thing I really did was to catch up on a few emails to friends. Damn! Where has my energy and drive gone?
This week I have an appointment with Dr. G. Clay (my primary care) and hopefully we’re going to begin looking into this energy problem. It’s not like me to be brought down by stuff like this, but I just can’t seem to over-come it either … not a good thing honestly.
This weekend was Alberic’s Readathon at his school. It’s a weekend that all the kids go and read all night long (or as long as they can), to raise money for book purchases. Some of them even sleep at the school … it’s a lot of fun and Al and I have gone every year since he’s been at that school … but this year, when I got home Friday afternoon he said he didn’t want to go! I was surprised, but relieved too, I’m not sure I could’ve handled it.
That’s it for this week … hopefully next week will be a better, more energy driven week.
