Wednesday

It is Wednesday, and I am heading back to work after two days off dealing with a migraine that just wouldn't release. I finally was able to get warm yesterday around 12:45pm, indicating that most of the migraine was over. Since then, I have had 2.5 hours of sleep, a persistent smell of a fire, and am not looking forward to trying to figure out what I am going to do with my groups for the rest of this week.

It is 4:53am. I am exhausted. I have to take a shower, drive to work, and try my best to be therapeutic for five very different groups of humans before driving home and crawling into my bed.

I think the fire smell from late last night (started at 11pm) came from my neighbor's fireplace and pulled itself into my home. That is going to get old quickly. Nothing happened in my home other than the smell, so I wasn't getting too much smoke or anything else. It was unsettling on a night when other things weren't up to par.

Insomnia is no fun, and I get it every so often.

When it happens, I tend to feel stressed because I did not sleep well. The stress tends to affect my subsequent sleep. It is a loop that often affects the rest of the week until I get to the weekend when I can sleep as much as I need to in order to catch up. I have eleven sessions to run in a sleep-deprived state, but I can do that as well.

I have some session plans that I keep on the back burner for weeks such as this one. I think we may watch videos on my 1984 television set for the rest of this week. We might not. It will depend on what I find when I get to work, and how I feel.

Time to get going. The shower should help me warm up a bit, and I will be careful on my way in to my job in the pre-dawn hours. See you later, alligator!
