Running on Empty

I really did not want to get out of bed this morning. If I didn’t have a meeting this morning and a class to prepare for tomorrow, I might have been tempted to call in sick and spend the day in bed.

I’m not entirely sure why I’m so tired. I went to bed early last night, and after getting up to feed Isabella this morning, I crawled right back into bed for a little more sleep. It’s not as if this week has been particularly exhausting or stressful. In fact, it’s been relatively quiet compared to the past few weeks. Nevertheless, I just can’t seem to shake this fatigue.

Hopefully, the coffee will work its magic soon, and I’ll find a little more energy and enthusiasm for the day ahead. Right now, though, I’d much rather be back under the covers. Some mornings are just like that, I suppose.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
