Is that a word? Probably not. It’s more an expression I guess. Whatever it is, ugh! No, actually a big fat UGH! I hate when sleep is as elusive as it is tonight. I hate that I get anxious when that happens. I hate that the anxiety feeds on itself creating even more anxiety. I…

Week 12: 12-hour Work Days
Wow!, that week just flew by. I didn’t even get a chance to post a single blog not even any of the daily prompts. I’ve been leaving the house about 8am and returning around 8pm. I usually have dinner and head to bed. No exercise, no chores, no writing, no nothing..just work. I hope I’ve…
Week 11: Another week saunters by
So let’s see what happened this past week. Work was a nightmare. It’s not that the job is hard. Truth be told, it’s an easy, pretty mediocre analyst job. The problem is just how fast-paced it is becoming as time goes on. It is near impossible to keep up. We are indefinitely shorthanded and I…
3:21 am
I wish I could wax some poetic or deeply meaningful stuff or something. Isn’t there a supposed link about 3am and artistic talent? Or something like that. This meme certainly alludes to it. But Nope, all I can think of is: It’s 3:21am. And I’ll be up the proverbial creek without a paddle in the…

Learning to relax the body
As I continue in my quest to improve my sleep, I’ve been paying more attention to how I feel, to how my body feels. I started noticing just how tense I am, how tense I spend my days and how very tense I am at bed time. It’s no wonder I have such diffficulty sleeping…
Week 8: A hodgepodge of stuff!
This week was such a hodgepodge of stuff. I’ll just do a bullet list. I took a day off work to rest and rejuvenate. It was nice. I cleaned my desk at home My work schedule was moved twice in the 4 days that I worked this week. Work sucks. I’ve decided to start looking…
Essie
Today I watched the full moon. The “full worm moon” they call it. I watched from the stoop Where you used to sit to watch some supermoon or other. I sat still, closed my eyes and listened for you Wishing you’d materialize and be here Once again. Right next door.
Note to self: be patient with yourself today
It’s sad when it’s the first minute of the first hour of the first day of the work week and you are already tired.. As soon as my alarm went off this morning, I started to feel sleepy. I’m dragging today. I’m going to try and intentionally be patient with myself, tune in into my…
