What are the words you use when You do not awake to the day,but instead, you just happen to open your eye lids and enough hours have passed by that it is now the next day. I still feel as tired as I felt those moments before I fell into my dreams last night. I'm milling through the day with exhaustion that I haven't even earned. You usually find that you become tired and fatigued when you've completed a big task of either physical or emotional proportions. This is not the case for my situation, All I did was open my eyes and move around the house.

I seem to be getting sick of the taste of 95% of the foods out there including any hydrating substances. Its not just settling in my stomach with a frown, that I can handle. But the taste that lingers in my taste buds irritate me and make me feel nauseous. It's very annoying. Even smells are becoming quite nauseous to me. Peoples perfume, cologne, fast food smell, the air that blows through the breeze. My gum that I chew. Odors have become something I need to keep a tight stomach on. Sometimes I just want to run, but then I go someplace else and what do you know, a whole new completely wafering smell that has my stomach turing in circles.

It sure would be nice if people would stop wearing so much perfume or cologne. But they probably are hardly wearing at all and I am just being sensitive.

even as I write this I am holding back from what feels like a date to the bathroom.

I'm off to go to my tuesday meeting.

God, I feel miserable....
