But then I had to get up again because I had to clear the driveway of snow. Then I spent the day doing my usual work. Then I went back to bed.
I am super anxious today and I don’t know why but I don’t like it. My stomach feels weird (like low level, but persistent stage fright. Not pain/sick feels) and I have just been staying in bed all day. 🥺
If its nice out where you are … try going for a short walk. Just having a bit of fresh air and sunlight does wonders for your mind.
Another way to reset your day is to just take a shower. If it’s cold outside, take a nice hot shower. If it’s hot outside, take as cold a shower as you can stand.
That you, Alfred Matthew Yankovic?
lol … I sing those lyrics whenever a friend wants to talk to me about blues music … I’ve always loved that song
Or maybe I’ll go bowling
Or I just might go bowling
Maybe I’ll just rent some shoes and go bowling
Maybe I’ll join a league, enter a tournament, put on a stupid looking
Shirt and go bowling insteadMake it talk
Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk
OK, now make it shut up
It’s a very good song.
I could hear the annoying wailing like a siren of that guitar … lol … Al is such a genius
Yeah, and he seems like a good person, too. I often find myself asking, “What Would Al Do?”
I envy that you were able to go back to sleep. I stayed up very late last night because I’m on vacation and was planning on sleeping in. But I was woken up by my wife who needed me to do something urgent for her, and I can never fall back asleep after getting up. Now I have to face the rest of the day without enough sleep
Happens to me on about a daily basis at this point … age does that to you … health does that to you … pain does that to you. Usually I just take cat naps in the day anyway now. Give yourself 30 minutes (no more, no less) and you’ll be good to go again for a few hours. Snooze less than 30 mins and it doesn’t help … go over 30 minutes and you’ll wake up groggy and it will take you an hour or so to get back to normal.
Happy you’re on vacation … have fun where ever you are and in whatever you’re doing.
I can’t usually take naps. If I can fall asleep at all, it takes like 45 minutes, so setting a half hour alarm definitely doesn’t work.
By “vacation” I meant I’m on PTO. I’m still at home. My wife doesn’t have the extra PTO, so I’m just lounging around and trying to get some R&R.
