Perpetual Tiredness... Will It Last Forever?

Yeah, the title is me whining about being tired all the time. Somehow, unless I take enough B vitamins to turn my pee the color of plutonium, I am always tired. Will someone explain to me how this wonderful life is sucking itself out of me?? Sheesh. That said, I would like to discuss some of the factors that I believe to be at work for all of us, not just me, and a list of things I think might help. Disclaimer... I may not in fact do everything I list here because, let's face it, I just have too much stuff on the to do list. But here I go.

1) I sleep on a crappy bed. Really crappy. Indian guru sleeping on a spikey wire bed crappy. However, a new bed is not affordable at the moment. Therefore, it is my goal to discover how to make my bed comfy on a budget. Any advice would be appreciated.

2) Earlier bedtimes for all. Even mommy. No, really. (I type this comment at 11:30 at night.) It's not like I don't get enough sleep, but I guess if the quality is going to suck out loud, I may as well increase the quantity.

3) Boost my immune system a bit. Maybe no NOS tank, but maybe turbocharge it a bit. So I am going to attempt a regimen of echinacea, vitamins, and green tea daily. I will keep you posted. Here's hoping for some success.

4) All this being said, I live on the Gulf Coast near an oil spill area. Now, I don't wanna play that blame game, but ever since then, everyone down here has had respiratory and digestive problems, and increased stress too... to say the least I would say it has aggravated some problems. What to do about this? You got me. The best I can do is to say that I am cutting as many chemicals out of my life because I (sneaky me) have postulated that if I must be exposed to some chemicals I cannot eliminate from my life, I will get the ones I can!

5) I will try my dead level best to not sweat the small stuff. This is a big deal for me, but we're gonna do our best!
