Exhausted

The past few days have been focused largely on catching up on lost sleep, aggravated by the time change.  Saturday, after the wedding, I stayed up visiting with friends and packing until 1am, and then woke at 5:15am (3:15am Pacific Time) to head to the airport.  After arriving home, I spent the rest of the day unpacking, doing laundry, and menu planning, apart from heading back to the airport for Dave & Eva.  By the time I got to bed it was 11pm (1am Wisconsin time), so I had been up for almost 20 hours on about 4 hours of sleep (not counting interruptions to nurse).  It really caught up with me on Monday.  I tried to get back into the groove, but was so tired I started getting headaches and nausea.  I actually crashed at 9:30pm (which for a night owl like me is VERY rare).  I think the problem is aggravated by the fact that what little sleep I DO get is interrupted to nurse Amanda, so I get a series of short sleep intervals instead of one long, deep sleep.  Oh, well, a few more nights and I should be back to my normal (only HALF sleep-deprived) self.
