Average Jane is Just Tired

I know I've been neglecting my blog lately. I guess after keeping up the 5-posts-per-week schedule fairly consistently for almost three years, I deserve to be a bit of a slacker now and then.

Truth is, I just don't have much to talk about right now. I've already discussed at length all of the primary things that are happening right now:

• the kitten and her post-surgical travails
• raging acid reflux and its effects:
  
  • inability to sing properly
  • inability to eat normally
  • denial of coffee (nooooooo!)
• revived yoga practice

Those are just the most dramatic ways in which every day is the same, which tells you something right there.

Even when I'm out and about lately, I just don't seem to have my writer's brain in the proper gear. Rather than my usual habit of composing little snippets of blog prose every time I see something interesting, it's as though I've stopped noticing anything outside the narrow tunnel of the given task at hand.

I think my post title sums it up: I'm just tired. Mainly I'm tired of having heartburn, a sore throat and difficulty swallowing no matter what I eat or what medication I'm on. That all leads to me not getting enough sleep and then I'm literally tired as well.

I'm sure I'll get everything sorted out sooner or later. In the meantime, I'll do my best to keep posting and hope I can get a little spark of creativity going from time to time.

Damn - I feel ya, you poor thing. Heartburn just started rearing its ugly head this week for me, but at least mine is pregnancy-related so I have an "end date" so to speak.

Hang in there.

Nothing sucks worth than health problems. Hope your doctor gets it sorted out for you. Have you considered seeing a specialist?

Sorry to hear about the acid reflux. Nobody ever talks about that in Heavy Metal School. Maybe you could pen a song about the horrors of acid reflux.

I know what you mean. The "tired of everything" is definitely going around.
