When I talk about being exhausted, I don't just mean a bit tired. I mean bone shattering tiredness which is preventing me from functioning. The energy required to get out of bed in the morning is so great that I have to lie down to recover from it. Getting lunch wipes me out. Fetching Dylan from school just about kills me. Today I went to see some friends for a couple of hours (the most I've done in a few days) and when I got home I almost passed out. There has to be something in this....... if related to homocysteine levels or maybe anaemia..... I need to ask the Doc ASAP, because it is just beyond ridiculous, but I don't have an appointment until next week. I dunno if to make one sooner but I guess I'll stick it out....... the weekend is coming and G will be around to help with the kids so I can rest more.
Poor guy had to come home at 3pm yesterday on my account...... and tonight is snowed in at work, would you believe. We had (Canuck readers will appreciate this) approx 1cm of snow today. It bucketed it down for about 3 hours but it was that wet kind of snow that just about settles for a little while then melts quickly.... meaning the roads had a small amount of covering but not enough to make them slippery particularly. Everyone panicked, as they do here, and left work around 3pm..... G didn't and when he came to thinking about doing so at 5pm it wasn't an option because traffic was at a complete gridlock. He decided to wait. Then people who had left at 4pm were returning at 7pm because they hadn't actually got anywhere except to the carpark exit the traffic is so horrendous. He's finally left now (9.30pm) and says that it's still gnarly but he's tired of being there. It took me an hour to get home from our playdate this afternoon which is on a normal day 3 mins from the house. Ridiculous!

Don't be daft and wait until the appointment next week because if there's something they can do then they can do it now, and at the very least it'll set your mind at ease... and you know you'll be wound up like a top by next week if you don't!
