For the past week or two I’ve been feeling somewhat under the weather.  I haven’t felt ill per se, just not myself.

The over-analyzer in me has been racking my brain, questioning my soul, and seeking answers as to why I’ve been feeling this way.  The answer, though, has nothing to do with analysis, and has become both quite simple and very clear – I’ve been lacking sleep.

Sweet slumber.

Eschewing my morning routine and sacrificing the walking I enjoy, I’ve basked in the bounty of my bed and have created the most F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. ending to my week.

Oh, sweet slumber.
