I am out of spoons. Couldn’t even make dinner.
I’m fried from work. Tomorrow is pie night at Village Inn. That’s what’s for dinner tomorrow.
So stressed. So tired. Been awake two days now.
UGH.
Take your meds, folks.

I’m struggling and I don’t know why. Today was super stressful and I got crap for sleep last night so I was grumpy all day. We got drive thru tacos and watched some silly telly.
I’m crawling into bed early. I’m done for the day.
Take your meds, folks.

3 Times Woken by a Zooming And/Or Meowing Cat
Spock, apparently, decided to kick off his birthday week by zooming about the house singing the song of his people at one a.m. And then again at two a.m. Only to be followed up with an encore at five. Maybe I gave him too much catnip?

So… apparently the fact that I associate colors/sensations/music with people is outside the norm. I was talking about it with Gwendolyn and J this evening.

5 Hours Overslept
I got up at six a.m. to feed Spock, as per my usual. However, I slept terribly last night and decided to go back to bed. I slept until 11a.m. I guess I needed it.

45 Minute Nap on Lunch Break
3 Hours of Sleep

I hate the “sleep aid” I’ve been prescribed. It takes forever to fall asleep. Then, I sleep anywhere between one and a half and three hours and then I’m up for the rest of the night.

1 Slightly Exhausted Me
There are times where I feel if I stop moving, if I slow down, if I freeze up, I’ll keel over. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s a form of mania? I’m honestly not sure. Whatever it is, it’s exhausting. Utterly taxing.

2 Days Till Payday
1 Shot of Peach Vodka
There is great disturbances in the United States right now. Some white terrorists stormed the Capital Building earlier today and ransacked the place. They were not treated as the BLM protestors were. At all. And I am shaking in rage at the unfairness of it all.
So I’m going to focus on what I can control.

Man, I love playing with the Wild Unknown tarot that Reffie got me. It’s seriously an awesome gift. I’m nervous about drawing in the journal, but I’ll work up to it.
