Forever tired
Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 05:01AM
I used to think that I didn't really suffer from jetlag, but I don't know what else to blame the last few nights on. Observe:
Wednesday night (upon returning from the airport): Very tired, no problem falling asleep early and staying asleep until I got up for work.
Thursday night: Couldn't sleep; up until 2am.
Friday night: To bed at 1:30am, but woken up at 9.
Saturday: Exhausted all day long. Very busy and barely functioning. All I want to do is take a nap!
Saturday night: Home at 12:30am, fell into bed and slept hard until noon on Sunday.
Sunday night: Still tired, but can't sleep until midnight.
Monday night: In bed by 9:30, asleep by 10. Woke up at 4am and couldn't fall back asleep. Read for an hour, still couldn't sleep. Dozed lightly, waking often, until 7am.
I'd really like to get some normal sleep and feel rested already.
This screwy sleep schedule is also messing with the rest of my life. I feel so behind and like I can't catch up. I still haven't uploaded any trip photos, I haven't been able to write or read much bloggy stuff, and if it weren't for Brad, our apartment would still be a dirty disgusting disaster.
Speaking of Brad, I'm happy to announce that last night he found out he was accepted into the school he wanted. This is really good news because it's the same school where I was accepted for a graduate program. Certain other circumstances---circumstances that I can't discuss here unfortunately---need to fall into place before we can take advantage of these opportunities, but his acceptance is really good news. Positive vibes sent our way will be graciously welcomed.
In conclusion, I'm tired and I'm stressed about making the aforementioned circumstances work out, but yesterday I realized I was in a good mood. Not overtly happy or giddy, but I wasn't on vacation or doing anything fun and I was still in a good mood. It was nice.

Tons of good vibes are being sent your way right this instant. Good luck!
Funny, because I was in an unusual BAD mood yesterday. It was strange - I'm not used to feeling down about nothing. You must have stolen my usual good mood attitude for the day. :)
YAY for Brad! Congrats to him! Good luck to both of you on these endeavors. Lots and lots of vibes going your way.
Have you considered talking to your doc about your sleep? I know this hasn't been the only time you haven't been getting good, well-resting sleep. Might be worth a shot.
Wow, both of you at the same grad school? I really hope that works out. Many good vibes are headed your way from Denver.
Yay Brad! Please tell him I said congrats! And I'm really, REALLY hoping everything else works out here so you two can move back here quickly!
sending tons of good vibes : ) and positive energy!!
I am now sending good vibes. Hopefully they arrive by the end of summer. My vibe delivry service has been really slacking of late.
