Fatigue

I worked as a nurse today at my old job. It was a busy, nonstop day. I am tired. I feel old. Dinner helped a bit and I managed to read the morning paper after eating. I was still too tired and achy to do much. I took a hot bath and soaked my weary bones until the water turned cold. I think I will go to bed way earlier than usual.

I sure am glad I am retired and don’t do this every day.

How do you relax when you are too tired to go to bed?

I know that feeling. Sometimes it feels wonderful to work and get that achy feeling. It happens generally when I have worked in the garden or yard way too long.
I take that hot, hot, HOT shower and wrap up in my bathrobe and lay down. Sometimes it has to be chased with an excedrin or two.
