Today I find myself more than a little tired. Its more like exhausted than tired. You know the variety of tired where the brain prefers not to function. The eyes refuse to stay open. The body feels as though it just finished a 15 mile forced road march with all the standard GI field gear strapped on after having been up 36 hours straight with only 2 hour nap. Only it wasn’t a nap at all. Something about pulling guard duty… Or something. This tired could cause a body to sleep for 24 hours… Without even a trip to the can.
Go figure right? Chase, chase, chase. Go, go, go. Its been a couple of crazy weekends with a long week in the middle. Its really surprising I’m able to function at all today. Let alone summon the energy to put “pen to paper”
Having written nothing all weekend it figured I should write something. A long flowing litany of words would be nice. A deep, contemplative narrative maybe. Something that evokes some emotion. If nothing else, bring a smile to the face… Even if only for a brief moment.
Maybe after I’ve eaten dinner…
Maybe then I shall find the strength to string words together. For it takes energy… Something I’ve not much of at the moment, to put words on paper in a manor in which makes sense.
Dinner’s done & I’m stuffed.
Hmmm… Not today. I shall find something rather interesting for tomorrow. Well, at least I will try. So, its off to bed. I hope I may find something captivating to write about in the morning.
*********
Not bad for being so damn tired.
Here’s what I thought I was going to write.
I’m tired. I can’t keep my eyes open. But, I want to write something. Dinner was good & now I’m stuffed. Now I’m really tired. Going to bed now.
