Sadly it's back with a vengeance. Like hey you had two days off now I am going to make your life a living hell, enjoy!

Fucking sucks.

We had another great day yesterday. We went to IKEA. Looked at desks and beds. Bought a new rug for the living room. Had meatballs. Had a nice day. Had cheesesteaks for dinner. Watched a movie. Did all the remaining laundry. 

Back to working today. Woo.

Silent again. 

The incredible difference in productivity I have when my head is silent is mind boggling. Yesterday I:

  • Washed the sheets and made the bed
  • Washed and put away the towels
  • Cleaned and polished the floors
  • Replaced the screen dor with winter door
  • Took the dog for a walk
  • Made dinner
  • Watched a movie
  • Did video editing
  • Recorded a new video
  • Went live
  • Made rice krispie treats 
  • Finalized financing to keep the Subaru
  • Bought C's birthday and Xmas presents 
  • Many other things I can't remember 

I was a goddamn machine yesterday. Why because my head wasn't screaming. What's the key? Fucking sleep. Read through these posts for the last 22 months. It's always sleep. I need 6.5 - 7 hours. My body is telling me this. I have to listen.

Now today we're going to IKEA and hopefully having as productive a day as yesterday.

Silence

6.5 hours. That is the magic number. No more, no less. I sleep 6.5 hours and I get a quiet head. Explain??

Worked, went to grocery store, went live, went to bed.

Scream

Once again the universe said "nope" to us. I found C a position in our HR department. It listed the hours as EITHER 7-4,8-5, or 9-6. She had the interview yesterday and was told ONLY 9-6. There's no fucking way we're doing that. We would be gone for 12+ hours every day. Not for what would only be a small bump financially. This destroyed her. She was so excited to be getting out of her current job and to be in her first office job. But no, the universe said fuck you once again.

Just so fucking tired of getting my hopes up and being fucked over.

Still quiet

So I was in a hit and run on the way home yesterday. Asshole swerving in and out of lanes because we weren't going fast enough for him in traffic, at 75mph. He love tapped my back end. We didn't see any damage but I was pretty shaken up all night. I need to go look at it again.

What sucks is I had a good day at work. Got a lot done, got more exposure, am getting some new test hardware. And then boom, day ruined.

Fuck this area.

Blue is the color of the day. Even in Texas.

Day 5.

Good day yesterday in general but still dealing with head and pee issues. I made an appointment with a urologist. November 18th. I have to deal with this for 16 more days. Lovely. We did all the laundry. C did some meal prepping. I made rabbit for dinner. We went on a long walk after dinner. Played games. 

Work work and more work today.

Still going sadly. 

Welcome to November. And time change. Woo.

Got my hair done, did things around the house, had TWO kids show up, watched a movie. Went to bed.
