File under D for Duh

This morning, 7:15 am, as I sit groggily nursing my first cup of coffee:

Husband: Lisa, are you OK? You seem tired lately.

Me: (guttural sounds and coffee slurps)

Husband: Are you OK? Depressed?

Me: Not depressed. Tired.

Husband: Why?

Me: Staying up late watching baseball. Getting woken up (by you) to take out dog at 3:30am the past few nights. Not getting back to sleep very well. Have period. Have cold bug virus dealie. No sun for the past eight days. Woken up to clean up dog vomit at 6:00 am this morning.
(coffeeslurps)

Husband: Oh.

Oh, indeed.

You could send Gus here for a few days. I don't have a hero complex, but considering that Mac the Dog wakes me up every night around 3:30 to go out--if I'm not already awake due to insomnia--and I clean up cat vomit about twice a day, Gus will fit right in. You'll get some sleep and then we'll ship him back.

I can't help with the lack of sun except to remind you that Michigan is the part of Ohio that nobody wanted, and that's for a reason :) Just kidding. Old biases die hard, and you're going to beat us in football this year so I have to get my jabs in.

Too funny...yep, like you don't have anything in your life to account for the tiredness. Haha....they just don't realize, do they?
