I have had the exhaustion in spades. And this makes sense. I am sleepy all the time. But when we do something normal, like going plant shopping at Lowe's where we were outside and uncrowded so no masks, doing what we do every year except 2020, for that time I am awake. I used to go on mini-getaway trips to somewhere close by for a few days every month or so, just for a change of scenery and routine. My first trip in over a year is on Monday. It's possible this will do me some good. Just to BE SOMEWHERE ELSE. Hubby stays home with the dogs and I get some wonderful solo time. I hope it helps. I have never slept quite this much in my life!
