I have recently and on numerous occasions caught myself in the embarassing act of word contrivance. It comes about mainly I'm talking about one thing but my mind is somewhere else, and I can't think of the proper abstract noun so I incorrectly construct one. For example, I origianlly titled this post "tiredness". I don't even know if that's a proper word. I probably should have used "fatigue" or some other real word. But my writing style is so stilted anyway, if I titled it "fatigue" it would probably sound like an article in some medical journal. (Is "title" even a verb? I'm so tired right now I dn't know.)
Anyway, this is to say that I am tired and in my opinion need about twenty-four solid hours of sleep. However, with the impending work week I don't think that will be quite possible. Seven and a half hours until I have to be the pool. Oh, listen to me whine!
Acting my age is very, very, very difficult. I don't even know if I want to.
