ACTIVE/LAZY

[caressa]

Well I don't like to think it as lazy, but I haven't had the energy to do much of anything. It is even an effort to cook meals and I generally end up eating out, ordering in, prepared foods, or having a sandwich.

I don't like eating things out of a can or packge and have always tried to eat fresh food. I try to watch out for chemicals, food coloring, and sugar.

My sleeping has been off and I sleep when I can. Often it is in the day time, especially around supper. I get so tired, I am falling a sleep in my chair and just have to lie down. Some days I only get 3-4 hours sleep and other times I will crash and sleep 6-7 hours.

I try to make the effort to get to all my appointments, go to my AA meeting on Monday night and my Al-Anon meeting Wednesdays at noon. I haven't been able to play bridge as often as I was. I need a clear head not one that is half asleep.

I often get so tired and want to sleep but can't. That is when I end up at the computer or have my nose in a book. My eyes have been affected by the diabetes and I am having problems seeing out of my glasses. I get them checked on the 15th of this month.

Thanks for letting me share.

Active or lazy? definitely active. If I sleep past 5 AM I feel like I have wasted half of my day. This week I have a very hectic schedule...teach 4 days, work four meetings for my other job, mammogram, alanon meeting, manicure, dinner out with some business asssociates, a committee meeting that I am chairing and I have to coordinate the results..I worked 4 hours yesterday on one of three parts of that. I also have 2 parent teacher conferences in the afternoon and evening for 2 days. Then on Friday afternoon it is final packing for a trip t othe mountains on Saturday as soon as I finish work. Very hectic..very FULL week. I have alot of energy since losing 60 pounds. That really helps. I had to finish and copy 39 progress reports , and send envelopes of student work home. I got that behind me yesterday.

Yes, I am definitely active.
