Perpetually Tired

~ Gottfried

I’m like 104% tired. Being tired has become part of my dazzling personality. I am not an early bird or a night owl. I am some form of permanently exhausted pigeon. On Mercury a day lasts 1408 hours. Just like every Monday does on Earth. My day starts backwards. I wake up tired and go to bed wide awake.

I’m retired. I was tired yesterday, and I’m tired again today. There are so many times I made you angry, upset, irritated and tired. Today I’m thinking of continuing. I’m tired of typing ‘Lol’ at the end of my texts to sensitive people. I said what I said, deal with it. I’m also tired of being the funniest person in the room. One of you needs to step up.

Being an adult is pretty easy. You just feel tired all the time and tell people how tired you are and they tell you how tired they are. What’s my dream job? Well, in my dreams, I don’t work. You never get tired unless you stop and take time for it. The secret to not getting tired is refusing to stop. Die on the line.

My four moods; I’m too old to do that. I’m too tired for any of that. I’m too sober to be doing any of that. I don’t have time to be doing that. You can tell how many kids a parents has by counting the bags under their eyes. I love that point where you are so tired that everything is funny. You enter your Joker arc.

I’m still tired from yesterday’s tired. Today isn’t looking so good, and I’ve already used up tomorrow’s tired. I finally got 8 hours of sleep. It took me four days, but whatever. I get tired from just thinking of everything I have to do. Today will be one of those days even my coffee will need a coffee.

There is something happening everyday but I’m too tired and lazy to write it all down. Can’t decide if I need a hug, an XL coffee, 6 shots of vodka or two weeks of sleep. I hate that moment when you’re tired and sleepy but as soon at you go to bed, your body is like..just kidding.

This whole working for a living goes on for how long?

  3. Oh, my dear, I have that same feeling. I am just too tired to … don’t wanna!!! Leave me be. Presently, my youngest is visiting and she’s being kind.
    I am sadly the unfunniest person so I can’t offer any help.
    I only know one joke. My sister told my dad when she was little lying under the car while he was fixing something. Back then it was a family event. My mom and my other sister and I were sitting close by for applause and moral support. Then she said, I have a joke Dad. He said okay. “How do you make a pin laugh?” The answer filled me with dread. Mom didn’t get it. Dad said nothing. She says, “it’s okay, Dad, I didn’t get it either.” And no one died.

  7. Don’t wanna stop so I don’t get tired but hey, that’s time-always up and running- waits for no man- never gets tired. I’m only human so I guess it comes with the fatigue package.

  9. I fully understand, being tired 🥱 all the time and then you feel like some sleep 😴. I went through that, for two weeks I could not sleep at all. As soon as I hit the bed I completely woke up. My doctor said that my brain was not shutting down and letting me go to sleep. So she prescribed me a sleeping 🛌 pill. And so happy to say I slept. I wake up refreshed and ready for another day.
    I hope you find some rest so you don’t feel tired all the time. ❤️

  10. Excessive tiredness runs in my side of the family. It’s amazing how tired we get and how much we need to sleep and it’s not just a case of sheer laziness; it’s a genuine need for sleep.

    My daughter is like a little dormouse and sleeps so often and for so long, she’s known as “Chronic Fatigue”

    The most tired I’ve ever been and incredible thing I experienced was falling asleep at my desk whilst audio typing. Only a couple of minutes or so but suddenly woke up and realised I’d typed out two pages of a document whilst literally sleeping. Went back and checked through the tape and hadn’t made a single error or spelling mistake either. SLEEP TYPING.

    Don’t have young kids any more or work shifts either and don’t have to be out and as active with dogs and horses like I used to because they’re getting older and slowing down too. If I didn’t have to get up and feed / exercise the dogs, I’d sleep myself to death. It won’t be long before even going to bed is a chore.

    “Eurggh… have to crawl into bed and sleep for 10 days and then die in my sleep. Can’t be arsed though”
