I am such a tired person these days. I'm so tired, so often that it's starting to feel like one of my defining personality traits. A little, saucy quirk that's so Jen. I don't know why I'm so tired all of the time, I never used to be. I used to be pretty sprightly (although never, ever in any way sporty) but generally, I could get through the whole day without needing a nap. Now though, I absolutely need a nap at some point, which is pathetic. I fall asleep frequently on public transport, and I can't stay up past 1am most nights. I'm 33 – I'm not exactly sure it's normal. I should probably just go to the doctor about it, but I think I have this worry that the GP will assume it's a side effect of my HRT medication and want to reduce it, which I don't ever want to happen. If being a lethargic, weak little grump is the Faustian bargain I have to make in order to look slay and cunt, then I'll take it.
