There are so many different kinds of tiredness that I get tired just trying to think of all of them. It’s not surprising that there are so many different synonyms for “tired” as well: sleepy, exhausted, beat, drained, bushed, knackered, pooped and that’s just a few of them.
In the past several weeks I have been jumping from one kind of tiredness to the other like a tube journey from South West to North East London. During my course I was tired, but I always got energy out of it as well so I was never completely knackered. Except for when I had very busy days at school and there were deadlines to meet. Then I got stressed and all of a sudden the tiredness would seem twice as bad as it was before.
When I went back to work this week I was kindly reminded what it feels like to be fully drained of all of your energy. By Tuesday morning 10:00 I was sleepy and hungry, which sets of energy alarm code red in my head, but it was way too early in the morning for that.
Today is different though. Today I’m exhausted but I feel happy. Sort of like a five year old after a birthday party with a treasure hunt. I’m too tired to even be experiencing my happiness 100%. This makes it even better because when I wake up tomorrow morning, hopefully, refreshed I will be even happier than I am and I’m looking forward to it.
