I'm absolutely exhausted, but there are enough good reasons for it that I'm not 100% sure whether or not I'm still sick.

I didn't sleep well Thursday night (the late work night). See, I was an idiot and drank a mug of caffeinated tea. I'd been wanting ten-plus hours of sleep lately, so staying up until 1AM was a serious challenge. But once I'd had the caffeine I couldn't sleep.

Friday was pretty much a loss. I was in the office, but I wasn't really present. I did some random work chores requiring no brain. Then I came home and passed out. I've been doing an awful lot of that lately: come home and pass out. So very tired!

Today I have spent most of the day alternating between "I can't keep my eyes open, so maybe I'll close them" and "I'm not sleeping, so maybe I'll open my eyes and read something". Now, at 11:30pm, I am perking up a little.

If this past couple of days doesn't make me relapse, I may be healthier than I thought. The cough doesn't mean much because those always linger for me. Now if only the exhaustion would go away I'd be content. Right now that is really the only remaining "symptom" I care about.

I'm usually fairly careful about caffeine and sugar/HFCS anyway, because they trigger a chronic pain issue I have. (I can't stand most artificial sweeteners, either.) But it's true that I've fallen off the wagon lately. It's time to pay attention again.

Glad you're feeling better! Amazing what eliminating POISON from your diet will do, huh? (ok, I exaggerate, but still!)
