Very tired now. It’s days
like this when I think of going all-audio with my journal. The only problem is
that audio isn’t searchable like text is unless I add tags for every subject I
mention, big or small.
I slept shittily. Sometimes I
woke up due to weird dreams and other times traffic. I don’t understand why
I’ve become such a light sleeper if that’s even possible since I’ve been a
light sleeper since 1990 when I stopped the Navane. Better yet, what’s with the
bionic ears? The sound machines I’ve had in the past, like the air cleaner in
Oregon and the box fan, weren’t nearly as loud as my current setup yet I wasn’t
woken up nearly as much by traffic. Is that because there wasn’t as much loud
traffic and I wasn’t as close to the road or is it just something about me? I
even had a dream that I asked Tom these very questions. It’s probably just me.
Phoenix was on a concrete foundation and I don’t remember much in the way of
motorcycles but you did have delivery trucks and car stereos. Yet I slept
through most of it with a box fan. I guess maybe something’s either cursing my
sleep or I spent too many years in the boonies. Either way, sooner or later
I’ve got to adapt cuz that’s what humans do. It’s just taking me a bit longer
for some reason. Tom could sleep through daytime noise if he had to so that
doesn’t mean I couldn’t learn to, too. We may be different people, but I’m just
as human.
I also dreamed I was running
from some guy. I ran out of what might have been a bedroom, into a hall, and
then into another bedroom’s closet. Then I heard several people applauding so I
knew my hiding spot was no secret.
In the last dream, Tom and I
were either staying with or renting rooms in this older guy’s house. It was a
large house too. Then one night we watched a documentary about him being
suspected of murdering his mother. Not wanting him to think we were afraid of
him and prepare to turn him in, I assured him that we knew he was innocent.
Not much else going on. I’m
just very tired. I took a Zyrtec one of the times I woke up so maybe that’s
part of it. Had a headache too, so I took ibuprofen. No lightheadedness these
last couple of days but at the end of my day yesterday I had a little anxiety.
Not the racy heart kind, the stab you in the chest kind where you feel waves of
anxiety in the center of the chest. I didn’t skip my meds but I will if I have
to between now and labs or anytime. I’m not going to be like a kid trying to
get good grades so she can keep others off her ass.
Haven’t gone anywhere so far
this weekend other than to Walgreens where I got the third Magic Velvet
coloring book. First I got the butterfly theme, then the animals theme, and
last night I got the ballerina theme. Did the whole thing in just a few hours.
They’re fun!
Took a break from this entry
for a 2-hour nap. That’s how tired I was. Loved that I only needed the air
cleaner to drown out the planes, plus the fan cuz it was warm today. Wish that
was all I needed in the daytime.
Finished Facebook Stalker by
John Meaney, and now I’m listening to You Saw Too Much by Adam Nicholls. Both
books are great, although the first one was riddled with so many typos and
grammatical errors I’m surprised Amazon allowed it for publication. Then again,
should anything about Amazon really surprise me all that much these days?
