B is for....

Usually I am a pretty tired cookie. Bed always is tempting, whether is sleeping, relaxing, or reading. I love my bed. When I look back over my life, I have always been able to take naps anytime of the day. (Sleeping at night is another story.) It seems like I was always tired and never had enough energy. Last year during my physical my blood work came back showing that my thyroid was "out of whack" (Citing the nurse who called me). So, they put me on some medication to help my thyroid produce whatever it produces accurately. Well, I was still pretty tired. So, I started taking a B vitamin complex, which is supposed to help with energy. Along with those two things and the Diet Coke my body seems to need in order to have normal brain function, I have had A LOT of energy and not needing as much sleep. Normally, you would think this is a good thing. Right? WRONG! My brain has been conditioned to want to sleep and take naps. So, my mind thinks, "Okay, nap time" while my body says, "HECK NO!" For instance, last week, I was feeling somewhat tired and thought I'd take a nap in order to have the energy needed to complete the rest of my day. Well, 45 minutes later I finally got up and worked out instead. Good. Right? I guess. It's been an adjustment for sure. Like I mentioned before, I can normally sleep at anytime during the day. Now it seems that I am not as lucky. So well to all of our daily get-togethers, dear bed. Now I'll only (okay, mostly) see you at night. Sigh.
