Where Has All the Energy Gone?

I've been doing fine. Really. I woke ready to go, conducted the choir at service, worked with the chimers afterwards, considered going to my office to work on a paper, but decided to go home first and check in on things. No sooner did I arrive than suddenly, without so much as a hint, as if someone had pulled a plug, my strength disappeared. What on earth?

I know that from time to time I have bouts of tiredness, but this is different. This is leaden arms and legs. This is working to breathe. This is bone weariness that a nap will not fix. I think back. Is there a reason for this? As I reflect, I try to remember when I had my last B-12 shot. I fish my Blackberry from my pocket and press the calendar icon. I search carefully, but the last shot I see was in September. I have missed my October infusion of energy.

This is not good. Tomorrow I will call the doctor first thing and get in as soon as I can. Today there will be no paper writing. There will be no going to the office. There will be no making of dinner, no doing of dishes or anything else that requires me to move. Today there will be sitting in the chair napping. There will be sipping of cold water. There will be snuggling with Sugar who senses something is out of whack. There will be going to bed early.

These are the issues I must see to. Do not let the shot fall overdue. Stay on top of it. Sigh. It is good to be in a position to get such help readily. I am blessed even if a bit unorganized.
