a weird kind of insomnia

Insomnia, sleep, stress

It seems there’s a small window of opportunity to wind down to sleep…and I keep missing it. I’m tired. I’m not wired and my mind isn’t racing. I’ve done my journal today so all possible angst is out on the page. I’m sure I can fall asleep once my head hits the pillow and yet, I find myself poodling around the house doing I-don’t-recall-what and it’s past 2am. A third wind takes me, if you will. Why do I keep stuffing up my body clock?! Mondays hurt all the more for it. I haven’t been dreaming of late, so it can’t be fear of that. Weird. Anyway- G’Night.

mental, sleep, Tired

How much does the inability to get to sleep suck? Heaps! It sucks heaps. It’s nearly 1:30 and I have to be up in 4 and a half hours to go to work. My mind isn’t whirring. No big to-do list being compiled as I lie here. Just me asking myself why I’m not sleeping? Stupid. Now I’m getting angry and my jaw is clenching. Teeth grinding and a headache will be the morning result. Sigh. Something is going to have to give and it will be something other than me. It’s gonna be a long week.

the written dump – trial period begins

perspective, sleep, vent

I think too much. Some topics go round and round my head so much I don’t remember what started it.

I am the sort of person who likes to be prepared. I plan. I plan everything. I plan what might happen. I plan what won’t happen in a million years. It’s not all bad. Sometimes I crack myself up completely. I have been busted rolling around on the floor. And I’m ok with that. I don’t mind if you think I’m nuts.

I like daydreaming. I like my imagination. I don’t mind that it gets whatcha might call “fantastical” at times. But I don’t like to worry. This I do too much. It affects my sleep. It hurts my head. It makes me grind my teeth…which also hurts my head.

So, in the name of the institution of New Years resolutions, I begin my trial of the “great written dump”. Each night I’m going to fill a page of what happened that day, maybe what might happen tomorrow, shopping lists, a knock-knock joke – whatever is rattling around my stupid noggin. I’ll put it all down and lay it to rest. I’m hoping sleep will come easier to an empty head.

Bedlam before. Bookcase after.
New moon in Taurus.
Back to work tomorrow after a much too short break. Prep to make things a little more pleasant. Anzac slice and banana bread. #podlife
I had a great night graduating Gin School. Brisbane Distillery at West End has a cool vibe and the class room is terrific. I made an ink gin with botanicals of agave, elderberry, green cardamom, orange blossom and wild rosella. Yum. #ginschool #gin #brisbane
I’d like to thank Australia Post for unknowingly supporting my effort to be an adult. To keep is in the wallets. To shred is in the postbox. #idontknowwhereigotitfromiswear #declutter #paperless #mortgageprep
Decluttering all the things and found a print out of this amongst my “things to journal about” prompt box. This birthday week I’m taking some time to break from the stress and grind of adulting. Nature is a great healer. Thanks for the reminder @chrisevans. Water the plants. Talk to the trees. Watch the birds. Support the bees. 💚❤️🐝🌻
Let’s go Australia. #ausvotes
Pretty sky. #scenicrim #queensland #nofilter
It’s been a week, hasn’t it? I’m taking the evening to rest. No chores. Nothing for me to have to/ should do - it can all wait til the morning. #rest #timeout #reset
So that’s a lot for one day. #bnestorm #subtropics #rain
There’s a storm water drain under there somewhere. Might not need to pay for a pool now. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
Best find in a desk drawer EVER. #podlife #smallthings
Feels like 10 degrees cooler. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
Low hanging moon. #brisbane
Found an old art box shelf insert and repurposed for my tarot and oracles decks. It feels so much better!! No more messy individual bags. #tarot #oracle #tarotdecks
Tonight I am moving random stickers left on pages into a reusable sticker book and it’s about as much as my brain can handle. It’s been a week. And yes, I am that planner type. #IYKYK #bujo #planner #travelersnotebook
Had to swap out my 2022 diary to my Tom Brady cover in honour of the 🐐 #tomfuckingbrady #tombrady #tb12 #travelersnotebook #bujo #goat #patsnation #newenglandpatriots
Industrious little stingers. #garden #wasps
Day 10. Growing a leek. Nearly time to plant. #garden
Day 5. Regrowing a leek. #garden
