I’m used to working flat-out all day and my body has become accustomed to this. But over the last two weeks business has been a little erratic – slow days followed by manic days – and I don’t seem to be able to adjust to the changing pace. The result is that I am sooooooo tired I could fall asleep on the edge of a knife blade. Still, the weekend’s here and I can relax. (Looks at list of DIY jobs, looks at the state of the gardens). Hmmm…maybe not.

So the trigger is…

tired    [tahy.uh.rd]

1. exhausted, as by exertion

2. fatigued or sleepy

3. depleted of strength or energy

4. weary or bored

5. hackneyed, stale

6. (informal) impatient or disgusted

7. cause to be bored

8. get tired of something or somebody

enervated, exhausted, fatigued, hackneyed, jaded, wearied, weary, sapped, sleepy, unrested
