Sometimes pretending to be an extrovert can be especially draining. Funny enough, I put on that show at work almost seven days a week. I should be more tired than I already am, but I guess I'm not as fatigued as I could be.
I suppose things in my life could always be worse.
I could struggle with getting to sleep every night. Maybe I don't have a job that I go to every day, including both Saturday and Sunday? Perhaps I hear voices and these voices constantly tell me what to do. Again, life can always be worse? What if I'm missing a limb? What if my eye is disfigured or missing and I'm relegated to wearing an eye patch?
For circumstances beyond my control in the office, I was more of a social butterfly than usual. I don't know why this happened, but it did. I usually stay away from people in the afternoon, but for whatever the reason, today I couldn't seem to make it back to my desk and not have people come up to me, either for work-related assistance or sometimes, just to chit-chat. For whatever the reason, people just flock to me at various times during the day and sometimes, I don't mind it. But today, it just seemed that people were getting in line just to talk to me.
I am not that important. For whatever the reason though, today people thought I was. Yes, in some way, it's comforting. But on the other hand, now even as I write this, I am dead tired. Interacting with people is absolutely draining. My reserves are nearly depleted.
Still, I persevere.
Yessica had a birthday yesterday. Yes, she was born on what gamers have come to recognize as "MAR10" Day, in honor of Nintendo's flagship mascot, Mario, of Super Mario Bros. fame. as such, there's very little chance I ever forget her birthday. I verbally wished Yessica a Happy Birthday, as I do, but I didn't have a gift to give her. Truthfully, I haven't bought it yet. Maybe, I do that this weekend? Actually, I probably should. I won't see her again until this coming Tuesday, so the clock is definitely ticking. I'd hate to see her again while empty-handed, so I need to figure something out. Unfortunately and as of this writing, I still have no idea what to get her beyond a birthday card and a $50 Starbucks gift card. I'd prefer to get something more tangible as part of that gift, maybe something that she can display at her cubicle. I just don't know yet what that's going to be. As I always do, I'll figure it out. Ideally, sooner rather than later.
I want to say that summer might as well already be here. We're just going to go ahead and just leapfrog spring altogether. The forecasted highs for tomorrow and Friday are 90 degrees for both days. That is ridiculously high for mid-March, but here we are. I'd prefer not to be outside for any of that, if I can avoid it. Usually around this time of year, where the season changes from winter to spring (or seemingly summer, in this case), I find myself more susceptible to headaches than usual. So far, so good, but if a headache should hit me suddenly in the next week or so, this is why. I don't always handle the change of season as well as I'd like. The headaches I can do without. We shall see what this little heatwave brings with it.
That's all I have for now. My eyes are drying out...again.
If it isn't one thing, it's another.
