Ack, so I woke up at 9AM this morning. That was when I was supposed to be at work. Of course I really question why it happened. One of my alarms did not go off. I took a count and I have 4 alarms trying to wake me up. I have yet to get my house speaking in my bedroom and that may help. This time though I got like 9 hours sleep and I still felt tired. I think I have fatigue. I think all this medicine I am taking is responsible. It may be the Actos for prediabetes, or this antiobiotic for my sinus infection or stress from work or a combination of it all. Maybe my cpap needs adjusting. I take a record 12 pills every morning. The funny thing is, I am not that sick.

So now I am thinking, what if I stopped taking most of them? I mean really, can high cholesterol kill you? What about prediabetes and rosacea? Can heartburn, depression, allergies or a sinus infection do you in? I know high blood pressure is dangerous so I shall stay on that medicine, and the heartburn medicine and zyrtec really does work. But the rest, I don't see any effects physically, except maybe in the ole wallet. Maybe I should get a new doctor as my wife thinks my doc is in bed with prescription companies. I probably should stop taking the latest meds so I can figure out which one is causing this fatigue.

So what happened when I woke up at 9AM? Well, I was going to write an email saying I was sick but I couldn't. I just had to be honest. So I wrote one saying I slept in and it probably was from fatigue brought on by my medicines. Yes there are always consequences. For instance I didn't get a raise this year and probably won't next year even though I do the work of 3 people and could save the government $15 million. I question though what in my psyche makes me think it is not that important to get there on time. Is it an interal power struggle? Maybe I hate being under control of anything and that stems from my mother controlling me growing up. Or maybe I don't like my place of work and would rather sleep than be there? Eh, my work happiness is a 6 out of 10, and I can live with that. It think it may be I hate 9AM. I once had a job where I could come in at 10AM. I was on time every day. It was the perfect schedule - 10-6:30. Maybe I should petition for a later start time. Nah, I am just going to go to bed earlier and earlier until I wake up on my own at 7:30. Maybe. I'll figure it out. More tests...
