Give him two lips, like roses and clover

I am grateful that I am not feeling nauseous all day. I do admit that about 3:00 every day I feel gross and a little green. I haven’t yet, though, sauntered into Barfytown

I do, however, have a terrible case of exhaustion. I have the kind of exhaustion that cripples me, prevents me from thinking clearly, and makes it damn near impossible to get out of bed before 10. I tried sleeping more. I tried sleeping less. I tried berating myself and calling myself horrible names to roust myself from bed. Nothing works. I’m tired, but I can’t sleep it off.

Dimitri just doesn’t get it. I tell him that I’m tired, and he says “Yeah, well, me too. I worked all day. What did you do?”

I reply “Man, I did TWO loads of laundry and fed the cat, and I can barely keep my head perpendicular to the floor.” He hasn’t strangled me yet, but he looks like he might.

he obviously doesn't know what's coming. he'd better get ready for chinese food runs at 3am.

Um, growing a whole human being in your body? I challenge anyone to try the same without being tired.
