Here is the difference between tired and exhausted. I have been working long hours with several late nights spent at work this week. I am tired. I will go to sleep and wake up on the first of 3 days off Friday and be rested. That is the definition of tired. 1/3

All of the healthcare workers I follow and all the ones they follow that I occasionally read, have been tired since March 2020. That is the definition of exhausted. 2/3

I tend to be a bit philosophical at 2:00 AM after working past midnight 3 out of 4 work days this week. This thread, (parts 1 & 2), seems clever and witty to my current mental state. If it is neither clever nor witty, well, consider the tired source. 3/3
