Why am I pooped right now?

We (the Country band) played a gig at a local bar and restaurant last night. Six to 9 PM. Then the other (more eclectic) band played a Farmer's Market gig this morning from 9 AM to 1:30 PM. It was 90 degrees out today and we didn't really have time to drink as much water as we should have. So now I'm sitting here pooped, with a throbbing right index finger (I played mostly bass today), wondering if I have the energy to make it to a friend's party this evening. Maybe I'll brew up some coffee and visit some MyLot posts now, and worry about it later. Ever wear yourself out? I'm looking for a second wind.

The party was good. There weren't TOO many people there, so the conversation was good.

Yes I have. Once when I was a college student. I studied all night without sleeping at all. I was awake for more than 36 hours.

Not today, it is on the high 90s (30'sC) and we stayed inside as much as possible.

One of my most tiring days was waking at 5:50am for college...we finished at 4:35 after almost 5 hours of chemistry and biology and I was waiting for the buses but 2/3 just passed straight by because they were too full, not to mention the traffic was very very slow because there had recently been a car accident...so I was waiting for the bus for probably over an hour, standing for ages with heavy books and didn't get home until 8:30 in the evening due to the bad traffic....as you can imagine, I was pretty grumpy!! :P Your day sounded much more fun and interesting xD

I'd be grumpy under those circumstances too! Yes, playing music was fun. But I don't want it to become a chore.

Gardening can be tiring. But it's also satisfying!

Nap Is not in my vocabulary. Unless I just pass out. I think I'm going to take a short bike ride.

Sounds like you need to get a good nights sleep and chill for a bit.

I slept (this was far from a "nap") for nearly four hours last Monday after the weekend golf tournament (and subsequent three-hour drive home). I don't think it's really "wearing yourself out" as much as what Nat Stuckey once described in a song as "my can do can't keep up with my want to."
