Coffee, Tea or Halcion?

How long should I be concerned that I'm tired and prefer staying in bed to doing housework, cooking, doing errands and fun stuff with the kid? This is shaping up to be the third day this week.

Here's a little list of "advice" from a friendly website on self-care tips:

Set priorities and simplify tasks to reduce stress.
Stay physically active.
Make time for activities you enjoy.
Get about eight hours of sleep a night.
Connect with supportive family and friends.
Eat more healthy foods, including fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

HA HA HA! Very funny. When you're feeling ill and/or blue, the last thing you want to do is set priorities, make time for anything or connect with people. Stay physically active? Zzzzzzzzzzz.

This just proves my everlasting point that one cannot rely on the Internet for medical, legal or financial advice. EVER.

I think I'll make a cup of caffeinated coffee and see if that "perks" me up. If it gives me the heebies, then I'll know it was the wrong step. But this might be a good time to use caffeine for the drug that it is.
