Today Was My Turn

         In recent entries here, I commented on how, on a small number of days, Kenzie would end up taking a nap that was basically unplanned when the Fibro kicked in and sapped her energy. Today was my turn, for only the second or third time in many months.
         I was at work this morning from 9:00 AM to noon. I got home about 1:00 P.M. after a drive that told me MY body was winding down. I'd even felt a bit sluggish just walking from the office to my car.
         When I got home, I was already dragging. I went to the bedroom, emptied the pockets of my slacks and shirt so I wouldn't end up laying on anything uncomfortably, laid down on my back on the bed, and that was it. I was out like a light.
         Proof? 1. I never (normally) sleep on my back. When Marilyn got back from the store and checked on me about 4:00, I was still on my back, my arms on my chest. I hadn't moved. 2. I snore every night. When she checked on me she said I hadn't made a sound since she'd been home.
         I got up for good about 5:30. And THAT'S when I noticed I hadn't taken my office ID badge off my belt. Emptied the pockets and forgot the badge. Whick also proved how tired I'd been. We'll see how late I'm up. I still don't feel I'm at full speed, I'm still a little sluggish. So I guess we'll see what happens over the next few hours.
