Slogging through days

daidoji_giseiVery good thing in my life: My copy of No Angel, the second book by the charming and talented Helen Keeble, arrived this week. It's an uncorrected proof copy, autographed by Helen herself, so it is sure to become a collector's item some day. :-) I haven't gotten to read it yet, but just looking at it makes me smile.
The kind of bad thing in my life is that for some weeks (months?) I've been tired a lot. Not just at the end of the day (though I've had plenty of that, having worked a lot of long days) but even in the morning. I've been hitting the snooze bar almost every morning, and my normal practice is to avoid it like the trap it is. There are nights I haven't been getting enough sleep, and I'd understand being tired that morning, but I'm lacking zip even on mornings after I've made an effort to get enough sleep.
I suppose it could be stress-related: I've no shortage of stressful things going on at work. And writing has been giving me problems as well: I have things I want to write and things I have to write and the two categories are not always lining up. And I need to start moving on gardening stuff NOW if I am going to have broccoli, tomatoes, etc this year. I could buy starter plants of all these things, but with as many seeds as I have that's a waste of money. And I'm behind on Judgement Night summaries, and need to make sure I'm ready for next Tuesday's game. All of which I'm sure I could do if I weren't so tired.
