exhausting the possibilities
Oh, dear, fatigue crash. For the last week or so I have been doing that thing where I assume the horizontal position, drained and useless, at 9pm, and wake up at 6am regardless of alarm-clock contributions, with that slightly time-warped feeling as though I'm about to fall into bed after a heavy day. Possibly one involving simultaneous marathon running, tricky technical writing and fending off an alien invasion, after which I've stayed up all night juggling ferrets.
This random and intermittent lassitude is, regrettably, a feature of chronic fatigue; sometimes I just gets tired. No particular trigger (Mondays or a glass of wine the night before are sometimes influential, but to no discernible pattern, I may have to give both up just in case), and nothing I can do except wait it out while doing not much. Symptoms include noun loss, distraction and that weird thing where I get two steps up a staircase and have to stop for a bit to contemplate the essential impossibility of continuing.
This is heartily dull, but it will pass. Normally I retreat into video gaming, but I am jonesing for first-person sword-and-sorcery rpgishness and have played the Elder Scrolls and Amalur into the ground to the point where another replay is boring even in my current state of brain-deadness. Same prob with Bioware. I need a new game, stat. Taking recommendations.
