Getting old is not for wimps!

[wiseheart]

I started the day with grocery shopping; nothing serious, just a trip to the Lidl next corner, the advantage of which is that I can push the trolley till the entrance of our building - which I did today.

After that (and a late breakfast) I did a tiny bit of writing, until it was time for the highly complicated cooking: making a Tütensuppe and shoving the frozen fish and chips into the oven.

After lunch (and some crap telly) I felt the urgent need to take a nap, so I did it. Plus watching some YouTube vids on my new iPad. I'd still prefer the old one, it was much easier both on the eye and using-wise, but the poor thing can only access a few chosen websites. Fortunately, AO3, SoA and Chakoteya's Star Trek episode transcripts are among those. I also watched part of the Enterprise episode I'm rewriting for my AU but found the old analog telly hard on the eyes. *sigh* I got so spoiled by the big telly in the living room.

I finally brought up the energy to put the white chocolate icing and the Kokosette on my coconut lamb biscuits. I made three black sheep as well, so that I won't be the only one in the family. *g*

And with that - and some more telly - the day was basically over. I have the feeling that I'm not being very productive lately. Being tired all the time is annoying... and exhausting. And ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous. As we age, energy levels tend to drop. There's usually enough for a straight forward day, but if something untoward (like a poor night's sleep) happens, there's nothing in reserve.

I guess having been permanently sleep-deprived for the last five-plus years doesn't help, yeah.

The moment I turn on Youtube I forget that I intended to do other things...

IKR? It's highly addictive!
