Sleep?

 
I was really tired just about all of last week. Yet I had to do several things, some of them rather physical, due to the rain finally easing off. Friday I cleaned one side of my Mother's fence row, for example. Took about an hour. 

Even though it rained Saturday morning, I got out as soon as it was dry enough and cut the yard. This may be the last time this year, though the grass was still wet in some places and didn't cut well, so it may need to be mowed again. Napped a bit in the afternoon, but was interrupted by a telemarketer call. (Argh...)

Saturday night I didn't participate in the online gaming session, instead going to bed early. I slept for nearly eleven hours. Still felt a bit out of it the next day.

Sunday afternoon I finished my Mother's fencerow by clearing out the longest section which needed attention. With electric hedge trimmers, pruning clippers, lopping shears and a pruning saw (for a couple of stumps left in the first section because I hadn't brought the saw on Friday) I spent about three hours. (She pays me well, but as I told her this is not something I would do for a living.) I still need to go by Thursday and put all that brush from Sunday and two trash cans from Friday out for trash pickup, but it was done!

I was also still sleepy.

I went to bed early Sunday night, and slept for nearly nine hours.

I went to the grocery Monday morning, for myself and Mother. Then did a few errands for her. Which included getting her lunch at Captain-D's. (She bought mine as well; it was good.)

I finally got home about 11:30. Puttered around on the computer, ate lunch, then lay in my recliner for a nap. Woke nearly an hour and a half later. 

I finally feel awake, but still plan to get to bed early tonight. 



Update: Went to the doctor early Tuesday afternoon. He's said my fatigue probably not due to an infection from scrape on my right shin (though it is not healing as quickly as it should) but from a lower respiratory infection. It might even be a mild pneumonia.
