"Fatigue"

(Thursday, 5th August 1999, 3.40 p.m. )

Well - the fact that I'm writing this from work should be indicative that I'm still rather bored. Oi veh - it will get better, but right now I'm hating it. I can't stand being bored. It's not like I have nothing to do - there is a wealth of stuff for me to read - project proposals, software design practices etc. But I'm not the kind of person who can just sit there day long reading this kind of stuff without wanting to lie down on the floor and fall asleep.

Outside of that, I have little else to write about. I've been extremely tired for the last ten days or so. Until yesterday, I'd ascribed it to chance - a poor night's sleep one day, jetlag, stress from starting a new job. But these last two days, I've been feeling not only tired, but also weak, and I've realized that it's a return of the old fatigue symptoms I get every few months. I never know how long they will last, but when I'm in one of these periods, it gets very hard for me to be very effective at work, or at play. The last two evenings, I've basically just folded up on my couch in the evenings and watched stuff I'd recorded on the VCR over the previous few months.

This is also when I become particularly grateful that I have a personal trainer at the gym - otherwise I'd just entirely give up on that for a while. I was there last night, and struggled through my work-out - and I have another session tonight.

In the meantime, I have to get ready to travel again, this Sunday. I can't say I'm really looking forward to it. My day times will be taken up with classes, and my evenings ... with what? Unlike when I was on my recent road-trip, I won't have an interesting photo-journal to compile in the evenings.

Complain, complain, complain. :) And remember - NO ADVICE WANTED!
