Tired...

Today I am tired.

I am tired because- I started the morning at 5:15am out at the horse barn separating horses that sometime in the wee hours of the morning decided to have a sleep over and share a stall. Tell me, how in the world can 2 horses learn to remove the pins on the fence panels and open it like a gate!

I am tired because- I got to work 7 minutes late, thanks to the horses. No time to make a lunch.

I am tired because- I went with my mom this morning to her consult with the plastic surgeon for breast reconstruction following her mastectomy.

I am tired because- I got a frantic telephone call from Kristina because someone turned in front of her and it totaled her car. She is fine.

I am tired because I did not take a lunch break at work because I spent my break in the doctors office with my mom. I ate lunch at my desk cheese + apples and a chocolate milk.

I am tired because- I had to work at my desk all day and stare at a computer. Numbers...it's all about numbers. Numbers telling insurance companies what services were rendered to a patient. Numbers describing what their diagnosis were. Numbers in the amount of allowed payables. Communicating with insurance companies is all in numbers. Go ahead call this toll free number, press 1 if you are the subscriber, press 2 if you are a physician, press 3 if you want benefits and eligibility, press 4 if you have a question about claims status, press 5 if you need preauthorization, press 6 if you want to shoot yourself before this call is over. DO NOT press zero, this is an invalid selection. Press the star key to go back to the main menu. on and on and on and on...

I am tired....really tired- I could not stay awake at my desk. All I wanted to do was close my eyes, just until I felt rested.

I am tired because-I didn't get home until late after work. All I could do was sit on the back porch and look at the garden, it needed watering, there are weeds that need to be pulled too. There are dishes in the sink. Laundry on the bedroom floor and all over the laundry room floor too. There is stuff all over the kitchen table. There are spider webs on the walls, dirt on the floor. Just stuff...stuff everywhere.

I am tired because-there is not a single part of my body that does not hurt tonight.

I am tired because-I do not feel human. How can I possibly be this tired.

I am tired because-I am tired and tired of being tired.

I am tired and I am going to bed.
