I had a hard time falling asleep last night. I couldn’t get comfortable. My mind felt like it wouldn’t turn off. I ended up taking a sleep aid, but not until well after my bed time. So I was a bit sleepy this morning.
I walked to the mailbox, and I watered my trees. I started emptying out the car. It’s kind of smelly in there. I should launder the seat covers. At least the driver’s side. I didn’t finish unpacking it, but I did leave some articles out for the wind and sun to cleanse. I don’t put the down items in the washing machine for the most part.
I did need to run the washing machine cleaning cycle, so I got that done. And I showered, which I skipped yesterday. And then it was time for work. Again, I got some work done, but I could feel my brain drifting and snapping out of focus. I put a lot into staying present in the three meetings of the day.
My stomach didn’t really want to eat lunch but I ate anyway because I was feeling lightheaded. Not sure what’s going on with my digestion, but it’s not being happy. I’m not sure if the solution should be more coffee or less coffee.
I did my exercises during exercise release/lunch time. I did another repeat from Shoulders & Arms level 2 and got a bit sweaty.
After work, I brought my four photos to the fairgrounds for open class check in. It was pretty easy and painless. Maybe next year I’ll be a bit more prepared and enter more than 4 photos. I know I have more than 4 photos that are entry worthy. I just didn’t have the energy and heart to look and find more this year. All scenery category this year. I might be able to do some animal ones for next year. I do like snapping pictures of animals when they’ll let me.
Then I went to the grocery store. I needed more breakfast sandwiches, and I stocked up on protein smoothies in case my tummy continues to act up. I’m going to take a quick bath before bed. That should help me fall asleep. And if I’m not feeling the sleep pretty quick, then I’ll take something. This week of all weeks, I can expect that sleep may not come easily. Even if it’s just in the yard, I want to sleep outside on Friday. Maybe Saturday, too. I’ve got to get packed this weekend so I’m ready to travel next weekend for my next backpacking trip. Gives me something in the future to focus on.
I’m crying a lot, and that’s okay. Time for a quick bath.
