Sudden loss of energy

Yesterday, after a short morning nap following the event that is present opening, I felt great. So great, in fact that I went out to the rec room to see how the kids were doing with their new video game. I even decided to play some billiards while I was there. While walking outside, I actually wondered why I didn't do this more often.

By the time there were four balls left on the table, I was starting to feel annoyed. My shots were off -- it's been much too long since I've played. It was no longer fun, so I decided to quit. By the time I'd finished putting the cover on the pool table, I was tired. By the time I walked into the next room, it took an enormous amount of energy just to stand. I sat on the concrete floor and leaned against some stuff. It was all so sudden.

Sometimes water seems to help, so I asked for some water (horray for a kind spouse!). Lifting the bottle of water to my mouth took took all the energy I could muster. The water didn't help. I garnered enough energy to make it into the family room. I drank another glass of water. Then I was terribly cold, the kind of cold that seems to come from the inside. Perhaps it was the water. I wrapped myself in a blanket (thanks again to a kind spouse) and curled up into a ball. I tried to watch a tv program, but it was a struggle to follow it. It wasn't long before I fell asleep. I felt much better when I awoke though I was still a bit tired.

I felt tired the remainder of the day. I didn't need any additional naps, though.
