It’s Like Jet Lag

I feel like I’ve been rolled on the ground and kicked a little.

I slept a little between last night’s late news and today’s 5:00 AM. I slept a little more between the end of the early news at 8:00 AM and noon. I slept again after seeing the dentist at 1:00 PM.

I feel like I’ve been rolled on the ground and kicked a few times. My eyes are stinging. My mouth tastes like I’ve been chewing on socks. I might not be tired, but I’m exhausted.

Before I left work for the last time today someone commenting, “You’ve got a long weekend now.” Yeah–in the abstract. In reality this is wasted time.

I’m not an expert, but I know the experience. It feels like jet lag.

TV’s pretty glamorous isn’t it?
