Really, really tired all day today. Wednesday is normally my lie in but I forgot to turn the alarm off least night, so it went off (twice, as it has two alarms). I slapped it off both times immediately but the cat has been well trained, and started his morning routine of coming to wake me up. He stares at me from the pillow beside me for a while, and if that doesn't elicit a reaction will poke at me with a paw, or try and worm his way under the covers. About this time of year it works quite while, when I should be getting up at dawn, but in midsummer it becomes quite tiresome. He does have a snooze button, but that consists of shouting at him, and usually I'm too tired to do that first thing.
Had a bath and then lazed about on the sofa until it was time to go to work. I was late getting ready for work and set off about five minutes late, which is fine as I usually sit down with about fifteen minutes to spare, but then then the traffic was unaccountably really bad, and so I dashed from the car and into work with only five minutes to get signed on. And then realised I didn't have my keys to open my locker, so had to run back to the car to pick them up where I'd dropped them, lock the car (as apparently I hadn't done that either), and then run back into work. The unaccustomed exertion set off my asthma, and despite getting signed on in time had to shortly return to the car to pick up my emergency inhaler, which I haven't used in over a year. I should really start doing some more exercise again.
I was due for a one-to-one with my manager today but she's off sick. I felt tired enough that maybe I should be off sick myself . I've managed to not miss a day since my gastric flu of last summer (not a pleasant way to get time off work, trust me). It allowed me to plod my way through work uninterrupted, though. I fell into bed without much delay, and went to sleep. Today was a day I didn't want to linger over.
