CatNap

Linda is shutting off her phone, pulling down the shades, putting Chimmie on the deck to sun and she is taking a nap.  If some sales type person rings the doorbell, she is going to open the screen door and by accident on purpose hit them in the face with it.  Why is she soooo tired?  She slept 7 hours last night (waking up off and on) and just had enough energy to teach her 2 morning classes.  As soon as she got home and sat down for a second, this wave of exhaustion swept over her.  She still has another class to teach and then basketball tonight.  I wonder if it has anything to do with her diet?  When she wasn't eating carbs, just protein and veggies (no dairy or sugar either) she had so much energy she felt like she could complete a marathon.  Now that her diet is back to rice, potatoes, whole wheat breads and the occasional dessert, she is feeling totally wiped out.  She once had a friend that could fall asleep at the table if she ate pasta or pancakes.  Maybe Linda needs to go back to a week of the strict diet again and see if it makes a difference.  It could be time for her to get her thyroid checked again.  It was supposed to be yearly and it's been at least 3 years since she went to the Dr. for tests.  OK, time to take a catnap. UPDATE:  Amount of minutes spent napping= zero.  :(
