It's the last day of summer before I go back to work. Technically, the day is over and I have to be there in just a bit over seven hours from now. I should be sleeping, I know. I can never sleep the night before. The first night AFTER starting work, yeah, I can sleep. … Continue reading August 26: “the last day”

August 26: “the last day”
It's the last day of summer before I go back to work. Technically, the day is over and I have to be there in just a bit over seven hours from now. I should be sleeping, I know. I can never sleep the night before. The first night AFTER starting work, yeah, I can sleep. … Continue reading August 26: “the last day”
August 25: Cranky as Hell
Today was my version of Alexander's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I couldn't sleep last night because it was too warm and Dak was snoring and my hand went numb and nothing worked to help it. Finally, Dak got up to go help with an Eagle project and I finally fell asleep, then … Continue reading August 25: Cranky as Hell
August 24: “can’t sleep”
Annika is back from spending a whole week in Bemidji and she can't sleep. We've tried some water, reading, sleeping on the couch instead of on her bed, listening to a podcast to relax, and finally I had her take a melatonin (see yesterday's blog for more info on that). She's still awake and she's … Continue reading August 24: “can’t sleep”
August 23: Whoa melatonin
I'd been having some trouble going to sleep, so I asked Anders if he had any melatonin upstairs. He did. He gave me one. I haven't used melatonin before if I remember correctly. I may have tried it once when Anders started taking it, but I don't remember. All I know is, this stuff knocks … Continue reading August 23: Whoa melatonin
August 22: The US is run by a bunch of terrible people
And it's really depressing. Even the people who I want to cheer on seem like they are terrible. There are definitely some good people working to keep things going - I know a few people who are working the the government, doing their best with this turmoil - but it seems like almost all the … Continue reading August 22: The US is run by a bunch of terrible people
August 21: What HAPPENED in the world when I was totally self obsessed?
So I've been dreading the test I had this morning for carpal tunnel syndrome for the past day/day-and-a-half and while I've been wallowing in self pity, the world seems to have erupted with news! Paul Manafort is found guilty on 8 counts and can be retried on the other 10. Michael Cohen pleads guilty to … Continue reading August 21: What HAPPENED in the world when I was totally self obsessed?
August 20: Phobias
As long as I can remember, I've been terrified of doctor's needles. Not a little scared, the way I assume most people are, but massively afraid, to the point where it affects my decision making about my health, both medical and dental. I am pretty open with people about my struggles with depression and ADHD, … Continue reading August 20: Phobias
August 19: need some rain!!
Everything is a scorched, smoky hellscape because it hasn't rained in forever and there is so much smoke from the OVER 500 fires burning in British Columbia right now. It feels icky outside. I feel icky when I'm outside too much. My throat gets scratchy and I even got a headache today. And it's been … Continue reading August 19: need some rain!!
August 18: dreams
I've been having a lot of crazy dreams lately. For example, I dreamed that I had to drive across part of the country to get to Boats and Bluegrass (the music festival we go to each year in Winona) and then when we got there, there wasn't room for the camper (we don't have a … Continue reading August 18: dreams
