15 things you definitely think when you're also non-stop tired
January lasted about 749 exhausting days. The weather seemed like an endless gray mass, it rained from waking up to going to bed and the whole country was collectively tired. I even saw our Wim-Lex appearing on the porch with dark circles. Although I understand he got tired from that formation. In short: we are simultaneously tired. It has been scientifically proven that complaining connects, so here are 15 exhausting things you recognize when you're worn out.
1. I just spent two hours in the hairdresser's chair looking at my own dark circles. It almost seemed like they were trying a little harder under my watchful eye. Those bastards.
2. Only 16 hours and 15 minutes until I can go to bed again.
3. Alright, staring for a moment is allowed. Actually, staring is just sleeping with your eyes open. What an invention.
4. Did I put on that cozy Brazilian backwards this morning? I put on that cozy Brazilian backwards this morning. Oh. My. God.
*based on a true story*
5. Would anyone notice if I just collapsed into bed right after dinner? I can surely come up with 1001 plausible excuses for why I didn't respond to a message/DM/call after eight in the evening.
6. Only 13 hours and 35 minutes until I can go to bed again.
7. COFFEE. Of course, why didn't I think of that earlier? A shot of caffeine will absolutely save me from this chronic fatigue. *Presses button, forgets to put a fresh cup in the machine, sees a weak light brown stream, has to brew coffee again.
8. Would snoozing for an hour be bad for your health? Actually, it's just three extra power naps added to your sleep, that must be healing.
9. Stays longer than necessary in the shower to check if you could possibly sleep standing up.
10. I still need to call the boiler company to give them the type of the boiler, but then I have to walk up the stairs to check the boiler type. Moving is exhausting, isn't it?
11. Is anyone still wearing something nice these days? I dare to admit that I spent half the month in my black sports leggings and hoodie. The neighbors only see a black spot moving down the street. It fits so well with my dark circles under my eyes.
12. By the way, being tired also makes you cold. I turn on my electric blanket every evening to sit on and sleeping bag to lie under. On the couch.
13. My beloved is also tired, so we sleep together while watching a series on the couch. Every time he asks what he missed, I now act quasi-irritated because I was also sleeping and can't recount it.
14. Only 7 hours and 22 minutes until I can go to bed again.
15. And damn: if you can catch up on sleep during the weekend, you wake up before the alarm. THAT YOU DIDN'T SET.
Fortunately, spring is almost here.
