Thank you, Lex. I've thought about going to my doc & letting him send me for blood tests & stuff, but the thing about general aches & fatigue is it could be too many anythings - cancer, fibro, chronic fatigue, Eppstein-Barr, rheumatoid arthritis, being fat, the depression itself... I think it's just a decade of too much work & too little play, another birthday coming up, getting older, getting tireder.

My vacation ends in about 22 hours & I've got to cook a turkey on Saturday for our office potluck - I promised & now I'm regretting it because I really don't wanna have to get up early that afternoon & fiddle with it. But then again, my coworkers have not experienced the mouth-watering ecstasy that is Turkey By Me for a few years.
