My body says I'm struggling with something

I'm so tired even though I slept fairly well last night and took a nap this afternoon.  I've been ready to go to bed since about 6:00 p.m. but have been trying to hold off to not completely throw off my sleep schedule.

And I'm picking at my nails more than normal.

And there are dishes that are undone and have been piling up for a couple days.

And my fridge is empty.  I meant to go to the grocery store this afternoon but didn't.  

And I didn't make good food choices today - a bagel and coffee for breakfast and lunch was two beers, fried chicken and fries at a local brewery.  I haven't eaten since.  I'm not hungry.  I don't even remember if I ate dinner last night although I have this vague recollection of garlic stuffed olives and pickles but that isn't much of a meal.

I have seven blog post drafts (including this one) started from the last 48 hours or so - none of them very well thought out (except hopefully I will actually publish this one), just thoughts I want to reflect on.  

I have this memory of having this lightening bulb moment last night as I was starting to drift off with plans to write about it in the morning yet I can't remember what it was.  Usually I jot a quick note down because otherwise they keep me up until I do but I was already drifting at this point.

In my defense though, I did get out and join the church hike this morning.  It took some convincing as I sat at the kitchen table in my robe with my coffee but I did it!  We hiked about 3 miles over two hours.  I chatted with a couple friends.  

And sitting on the patio of the brewery in the sunshine was really positive, even if my food choices weren't.  Plus I spent an hour on the phone with my mom and sister planning our next ladies' trip.  

So it's not all a total loss.  But I know I'm not at my best.  I wonder what it is I'm struggling with.

Is my memory that bad? No.

So as I stood in the shower this morning, I wondered to myself whether I just had a bad memory or had blocked out whole years of my life or ...
