Is it just me or is life post pandemic still exhausting? I quite liked those early days of hunkering down in the house wearing leisure wear and being delighted by deliveries and sunshine. I vowed to continue a slower pace of life with fewer commitments. But as life has returned to something resembling "normal" I have found that rather than feeling rested I feel increasingly stressed and exhausted.
One of the great things to come out of the lockdowns in their various forms was that, in my circle at least, no-one seems to be keen on late nights any more. It seems quite acceptable to turn up at 7.30pm and be home and in bed well before midnight nowadays and I am not unhappy about that.
This is good because I am so tired after even a moderately busy day and sometimes even on a deadly dull day with nothing much on.
I have Fibromyalgia so I'm used to being physically and mentally tired but this is ongoing and I don't know if it's a super long flare up, long covid or just ennui. World events aren't helping. We all need some good news I think.
I know I have much to be thankful for but I cannot wait for sunny days and some more energy. In the meantime I'll be spending lots of time snuggled up in my bed.
