looking for a diagnosis.

I have sad news for you.

i am so sleepy.

Therefore, I have dropped my fourteen week long class on breastfeeding. Everyone asks and wonders out loud, “What in the world can be taught about breast feeding for FOURTEEN weeks!!?!?” I was very excited to have an answer for you, fourteen weeks from now…

however,

I am nursing-school-tired. And this kind of tired, is a very unique kind of tired. I’m so tired it hurts. I feel it in my eyes. Well on my eyelids to be exact. They are heavy and they have a hard time staying open in class. They look droopy.

Also, I feel it in my brain…it hurts perpetually- I take Tylenol as a part of my daily multi-vitamin regimen. My brain doesn’t focus very long….three hours is a lot to ask, and so it starts thinking about other things (sleeeeep!) at approximately one hour into the lecture, give or take a few minutes.

Clearly, I am nursing-school-tired, and even clear-er than clearly, is the fact that I don’t think it has much to do with the amount of sleep I do or do not get, but rather the fact that I am quite close to the end (of school) and the adrenalin that I ran on for the first eight months is finally running out… OR I am just getting old… OR I have mono.

sputter, sputter.

I am off to nap

kisses,
