This is ridiculous!

I mean the fact that I'm so tired all the time. I know it mostly comes from the fact that I haven't had a day off for over six years but still. The last time I was this drained was almost forty years ago when I left my convent and vegetated at the house of a German friend for several months. But that time it was a quiet nervous breakdown. This time I'm just mentally exhausted, I think.

That said, I made peanut butter cookies today, first thing in the morning. Partly because I had half a jar of peanut butter lingering in the fridge since Christmas and partly because the currently re-run season of the GBBO had cookie day yesterday and that always causes the words cravings in me. Cookies are the thing I find very hard to resist.

So I made the cookies, which turned out excellent... and then nothing for the rest of the day. Absolutely nothing. I took a nearly two-hour-long nap before a very late lunch, then we watched some crap telly, then I had another (much shorter) nap, and now the day is over. I intended to call my friend Evie to see if she came down that steep hill of hers in one piece (yesterday we had lots of snow again) but I overslept, and now it's too late. She's my polar opposite: she goes to bed with the chickens, as we say in Hungarian and gets up with the first light of the day... or before. So yeah. I feel a bit guilty, but calling will have to wait until tomorrow.

Peanut butter biscuits sound good!

Not to mention addictive. 😋

I think everybody has a hard time resisting cookies, unless they're shitty cookies.

That is very true, I guess. 😋

Please think about going to the doctor for a full check up. Blood tests for iron, thyroid and blood sugar levels etc. There may be a physical component to your depression, something that requires medical intervention.
Peanut butter cookies sound great. Please eat one for me!

I'm afraid I ate more than just one... 😄

I can understand you worrying about your friend, but don't feel too guilty. If you slept that much your body must really have needed it.

I know, I know. I still feel bad about it.

I have switched to going to bed earlier and getting up around seven ( after having read one hour in bed). It works with me, I feel more energetic, even though I will still have a nap now and then. But you are a different case- sounds as if you suffer from a veritable depression.

I think I'm just exhausted. Mostly mentally, but physically, too. I'm trying to find little things I still enjoy; that helps, more often than not.

Always a good thing. *g*
