fatigue

There is a funny thing about fatigue. It brings you down to the barest essentials. There is little energy left for extras...like patience, for example, which shouldn't be an add-on. It should be a basic component.

I wonder if when we are very very tired we are stripped down to who we really are.

Yesterday a nurse was unkind to my Grams...rough and careless with her, causing her unnecessary physical pain. I stopped myself just before I called her something really bad. Like a 'stupid insensitive moron'. I was a breath away from telling her to "Back OFF, bitch."

That was a little disturbing.
