Tired and testy

Worst kept secret: when I get tired I get grumpy and snappy.

Right now, and for the last few weeks, I’ve been tired. This is mostly due to drinking too many cups of coffee during the day, staying up too late at night, crow-barring myself out of bed for work in the morning.

Such an annoying state of affairs and frankly, easy to fix.

I really do love to sleep, but I really do hate going to bed. It’s that lovely time of the night when I’m the only one awake and the house is quiet and I have myself to myself. I hog that time of the night and I make it stretch for so long it impacts the next day. This has been a habit of mine since forevs.

This isn’t a blog post about how I’m going to change my ways, adopt better habits, start chugging magnesium again.

Nope; this is just a moan.

Because I’m tired, and because I’ve been snippy on the phone and in emails and my patience has been paper-thin and not disguising anything.

The end of my story.
