I discovered a word that is appropriate to describe how we often feel:
QUANKED
We often feel like this, we often fight this and loose, we often suggest that we take this into account, and learn to recognise what makes us feel like this.
Listed in a glossary of words used in the county of Wiltshire, by Dartnell and Goddard (1893), "Overpowered by fatigue".
Often.
However, I prefer, 'Shaggackered'
The dictionary definition being. 'One who is both shagged out and knackered'.
Professor Google didn't know this one 😉
Good word.
Ramfeezled is also a good one, an adjective meaning worn out, exhausted; confused, muddled
yes, it is a word, I did not make it up, good cause the muddle goes with the exhaustion
Leaf
Good word, but too many syllables if you are quanked 😉
Saying quanked with the qu and the k makes me ramfeezled. 😉
Brilliant word!! Love it and the other suggestions here! Sounds much less wilting Victorian lady than fatigued does! Am adopting these forthwith
Am definitely quanked today.
An impromptu visit from my son and granddaughter was huge fun yesterday, even though I had no time to even scurryfunge beforehand. ( I have an uncomfortable feeling he might do this to just check up on me...)
You won't find me scurryfunge even if the Queen turned up, I'm not that obsequious, although I would confelicity, although she has enough schadenfreude at the moment.
Lol - you made me look up confelicity 🤣
I scurryfunge less than I used to 😂
Dreadful amount of schadenfreude yes - kids eh?
Perfect example of me confelicity 😁
Lol - so I see! Actually I just saw an article saying she must be crossing her fingers that no-one's got anything on Edward...
Don't think he is in the clear, pre-Victorian times he would have been disappeared permanently.
So hard to keep them quiet and out of the way these days now there's Twitter.,.
I think social media has a lot to answer for. It is a curse, and an educator, it's a Pandora's box that cases more harm than good. I read something about generations, and real time benefit of living through different decades. It came to the conclusion that weighing up the pros and cons, and found that people that were born and survived the late 1800s/early 1900s actually despite the hard start, a couple of wars they had the best growth in opportunity, and financial chances of previous generations, and better than generations born post war.
Yes they lived through some horrors, but this was limited to personal experiences, but they had also survived pre antibiotics, effective pain control, but medicine lept post 1930, and they benefited from the housing boom, post 1945 - 1970, before the complete run down of social housing. Young families now live in in a financial climate akin to pre-WW1. Unfortunately they are now educated enough, and informed enough to know.
We have come so far in the evolution of humans in such a short time in history, but have learnt little apart from greed.
Sorry on a rant now!
I read some plonker with a lack of historical working memory, declared that we should pay for GP appointments, and that it is odd that we seem to be the only country that doesn't charge.
What the author had missed from their education was that pre 1947 we, like the rest of the world did pay, and people died from very minor causes, that the creation of the NHS, took the burden of payment away, and was the greatest advance in social care in the world, envied by the world, except those that want to make money from suffering. With idiots in the world, born and bred in the society they benefit from that great advance, and that completely miss the fact that we will be paying even more from April, god help us. Unfortunately, coming back to social media, I'm educated enough to know their ignorance, listen/read it, and I can't even slap sense into them.
Breathing again.......... just!
Keep breathing ! I'm really concerned the way the pandemic seens to have produced more demands to 'reform' the NHS, when staff have been under so much more continual strain. Paying for GP care would be a nightmare - would have thought the last couple of years proved that rather than the reverse.
Would have thought, trouble is a salaried MP can afford to pay assuming they don't have private insurance. Tories voted the NHS formation down 11 times, and have been trying to kill it ever since!
Can you help me out? 
How do you live with the not knowing?
What you do when you feel like garbage
