I forgot to do a Wacky Word Wednesday post for yesterday, despite feeling that I was missing something! I decided that I will do it today instead, and have got the perfect word to sum up how I feel after the day I have had!
Knackered. Yes, washed out, worn out, tired out and generally pooped! It is overworked, overtired, and over-emotional! Exhausted and drained, shattered and sleepy, not to mention dozy and drowsy.
It has another meaning that can also apply to me. Broken and battered. on the blink, and, basically buggered! It is on its last legs, and more than a bit past it!
I understand that one all too well 😉

Love the word and your description. Feel for you. I felt “knocked around by life” also today. Shopping for Thanksgiving this week-end and for my daughter’s birthday same time. Long day. Wish you rest and peace.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
