While I am feeling better and am significantly less jaundiced, the fatigue is still hanging on. However, I certainly can't complain since it is 1) something I did to myself and 2) I can still work during it. It does make it harder to get down to visit my parents, but my dad's knee replacement went well on Monday and I'll try to have the energy to get there tomorrow. If not, there's always next Sunday since it would be lightest on Labor Day traffic.

Speaking of lack of sleep/fatigue, for my birthday I had an Amazon gift card, so most of it went towards a white noise machine since I've been having SO much trouble falling asleep for months prior. I heard mixed reviews, so I wasn't sure about whether it would work, but I am so impressed. I have it set for waves rolling onto the beach, and the combination of insects in the summer night from my window and the wave sound puts me to sleep within half an hour. In comparison, I was usually tossing and turning for 1-3+ hours before I could finally get my mind to quiet down.

I'm hoping this new routine sticks, and I finally get caught up with where I want to be energy-wise.
