Sick and Tired

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Really, I don't mean to complain all the time, but this is tough! I expected to be tired, but I didn't expect how all consuming the exhaustion could be. I didn't expect that I would need to find the motivation just to eat.

The nausea comes and goes. I seem to have 3 days or so of nausea follwed by a couple nausea free days. But I have very little appetite. Eating has become a habit. I know I need to eat, but I have no opinion on food, except for sweets, to which I currently have a strong averion. Meal choices are arbitrary. Sometimes they stay down, sometimes not. Meals with protein and fiber seem to like me more than carbs, but even sometimes that is a toss up.

I feel like a whiner. I want to get up, clean the house, get things organized and cleared out, but when it comes down to it, the task just seems daunting.

Tomorrow begins week 11. Only two more weeks left in my first trimester (where did the time go?). Maybe the 2nd trimester will bring me back my appetite and energy.

Pity party over now.
