Tired

I'm tired.

And in my tired-ness, I began to think about being tired.

The tired that I am now is a weirder one for me. I'm sleepy, but mostly exhausted. The last few days I've spent building things and being on my feet. The work isn't too strenuous - it's not like when I do yard work all day and sit and don't ever want to stand again, but yet the work is definitely physical. I feel beat up and worn out. My fingers and arms and hands are covered in splinters and shavings and bits of things and I have the perennial feeling of "I need a shower" (dispite having showered several times in these past few tired days). The weird part of this tired is my brain's level of tiredness. I haven't been doing much mentally straining, yet I'm sleepy and sleep deprived (at least compared to my typical pattern). I feel like I have been saying and doing things that are a bit out of place, but not because I'm scatterbrained and thinking about a lot, because I'm tired in a way where my brain is motivated to act but doesn't really have the support from the rest of my body to act well.

Maybe that's why I wrote this.

So:

Talk about your brand of tired.
