Complaints Department

Over the weekend, my mom and I completed a new project: an Art Display Strip. I guess that's what you'd call it. We saw the project on Clean Sweep, and though it was being used in a kids play room, we thought it would be the perfect way for me to display my own artwork and photography!





We are both amazed that we managed to start and finish this project in three days, do such a good job on it, and not maim ourselves with power tools! We were both so out-of-it this past weekend! Really, really, abnormally tired, and spacey. That was the real problem: being tired is one thing, but we were both real mushy-brained. We look at the crap we bought at the grocery store on Sunday and just shake our heads in wonder and disbelief. The celery I picked out was disgusting - dirty, broken, and it tastes bad. Half of it was unsalvagable. We bought a thin, stringy cut-up fryer and spent nearly eight bucks on it, when we could've bought a plump, freshly roasted chicken in the deli for five! The pork chops we bought were thick but flavourless, and cost seven dollars. We never spend that much money on meat! And what were we thinking buying an enormous 20-person watermelon for six people?

We weren't thinking, that's the thing. Our brains just weren't functioning, and we can't figure out why. Mom thinks we must've caught a virus, or something, but I'm not so sure. What kind of virus only messes with your head?

Must be time to see a doctor.

Gah! The headaches have started up again. I think it's because I'm so tired. I have to fight to stay awake, and that makes my head hurt. Also, my neck hurts, and my whole body aches.

I'm bored with Curves (which I kinda suspected would happen eventually). I don't know what I want to do, but I know I have to do something. I've gained five pounds in the past couple of months. Of course, I don't really have a whole lot of energy, so it's a struggle to get off my butt and do any sort of workout at all. I've been taking frozen dinners for lunch because I'm too tired to fix a decent lunch for myself. Something's gotta give. Something's got to change, but I don't know what. I don't know what I need. I take a mulit-vitamin every day. I get plenty of sleep. I workout three times a week, but I'm still fatigued, bored, and slowly becoming depressed. I can feel it. I need to head it off before it takes over.
