Excessive fatigue

Now that I have my road bike, I've been going biking with some friends three times a week. I'm still slow, and they wait for me at the top of the hills, but I'm getting better. A week or two ago they invited me to come swimming with them twice a week. I love swimming, and I used to go for a mile just for fun, so I said sure. Yesterday was my third time, and we went for 29 laps. But we do all this at 6:00 AM. SIX A.M.!! I'm normally a late owl, so six comes pretty early for me. I don't think I've gotten up this early this consistently since seminary, actually. Yesterday afternoon I went to my gym to lift a little. While I was there I decided if I was biking and swimming, I should work a little on being able to run... So I walked, then jogged, then walked, then jogged for about thirty minutes. Well, I was exhausted afterwards. (To borrow one of Paige's phrases..."No duh!")

That evening my eye started twitching. It was the first time it's ever happened to me before, and it was getting pretty annoying. I looked up eye twitching online, and one of the reasons was excessive fatigue. HA!

It also mentioned that it had genetic tendencies, so I called my mom and asked her she'd ever had twitchy eyes. Well, she was surprised that I was asking, because her eye was twitching at that very moment and was totally bugging her. We had a good laugh at the coincidence. :)

After I had Jack my eye twitched constantly for 2 months straight. Then one day it stopped and hasn't returned since. That's funny that it says it caused from fatigue because Jack started sleeping through the night at 7 weeks. Huh, makes sense I guess.

When Tiffany gets tired one of her main complaints is "my eye is twitching again."

We tease her about it all the time!

That happened to me with a couple of my babies and when I was writing a lot into the wee hours of the morning.
