Cheeseburgers and tsetse flies

My body is officially pissing me off. Enough that I was willing to sit in the Health Center for a couple of hours, surrounded by a bunch of kids with da sniffoos, who all had to call home about it. (Seriously, it was a 1hr wait for TRIAGE!) Now that I have given blood (like 5 vials), I am combating possible anemia with a bloody cheeseburger.

So it seems like since Wednesday, I have become sidelined by the sleepy. For the past while, I have been dealing with fatigue, which I have been managing with coffee, naps and yoga. But suddenly it has become an actual issue. Things are not getting done because I am too tired to move too far from the couch. And I don't have the attention or focus to do any reading, which is a bummer since I have lots of reading (theory) to do. As a grad student, it's pretty much my job. And requiring a 90 minute nap after wimping out after a 45 minute low-impact yoga class. It's bullshit!

Since there are no tsetse flies in Ohio, it's still unknown why me and my bed have become such good friends. But I finally caught the attention of a doctor who was willing to order up a bunch of tests and has a diagnostic plan in place. We'll see if she finds anything interesting. Meanwhile, I make another pot of coffee and fight through some Elaine Scarry.
