On Being Tired
Posted on 26. Jan, 2009 by Laura-Jane - Whimfield in House
Is there anything as lovely as being completely utterly, impossibly tired and then sinking onto a bed that you can sleep on?
I remember being a kid driving home from somewhere late in the evening and wanting nothing more than to be back home in my bed–instead of flopping around in the backseat of a noisy, bumpy car. As a kid in the backseat with my elbow on the door rest, I’d try to balance my head on my hand but it never worked.
Right now I feel like a kid in the backseat, and I’m just about to crawl into a plump, plush bed. I’m twenty seconds away from heaven, and I can’t wait.Â

It can only get better if the bed is toasty warm, and you’re not. :)

What, you prefer that to sleeping in the back of the Red Beast?

I feel like that almost every night, I have entered into a new schedule on our house, 3 hours every night after work and a full day on Saturdays and Sundays, to get the last stucco coat inside done ASAP.

yep nothing better!!
and there is nothing in the world WORSE than having to get out of that warm bed when it is winter, your bedroom is 41 degrees (5 celsius so you canadians can relate), and it is still dark outside!!

Sleep tight!
A good night’s rest is hard to come by, around here. It’s been 40 degrees during the day, and not much less at night.
But a full day definitely helps.

@Steven – Mmm, warm bed! (It’s a couple of days later now and I need to go to bed again..!)
@CWJ – The red beast’s bed was warm! Any bed will do when you’re tired, though. As long as it’s safe and the right temperature.
@Andy – And a new baby in the house makes sleep that much more precious, I’m sure. Good luck with the stucco. A toast to you: May your house be finished before our house is finished.
@Christy – That sounds as though you’re speaking from experience!
@Kazari – I usually find a good night’s rest easy to come by… But I’ve now come down with a head cold (and I’m traveling across the country right now which, for some reason, I have yet to mention here!)

Hi L-J
Yep, been sleeping in a chair all week and last night I got a great roast chicken dinner, hot shower and twelve hours in a real bed. Now that is what I call a full meal deal.
See you next weekback on PEI.
Smiles :o)

PS I am sending this from the Health Sciences Library computer in Halifax so I am not sure if the link to my website will be right.
I will post it here just in case. http://physicaltherapyexercises.blogspot.com/
