My Life Thus Far
No Rest For The Weary
For some reason I've been feeling very sleepy lately. Not necessarily physically fatigued, not even mentally fatigued. Just sleepy. Like I need a nap. While sitting in the bathtub tonight, I almost fell asleep, and I didn't stop at Target today after work because I didn't feel like I had the energy to walk around for no real reason. I have been opening more, and despite my best efforts of getting to bed at a reasonable hour, I still can't manage to fall asleep until 1am or even 2am. I'm sleepy because I'm staying up too late, pure and simple. If there's a deeper, underlying reason behind my constant desire to sleep, I don't want to think about it. I've got enough going on with my body.
It was a bad day for my knee. Last night while cooking, I stepped backwards and quickly realized that Zander (one of my cats) was laying right behind me, so I had to take evasive maneuvers to ensure his tail didn't get stepped on. I totally tweaked my knee. I knew as soon as I did it that my knee would end up hurting. It's disappointing since the flare ups seemed to be under control for the first time since the accident that caused the injury. It only swells at the end of the day, and quickly decreases after I get off my feet. Self-care tonight included: taking an Epsom salt bath, rubbing on some of my cannabis pain ointment, and icing it. I oscillate between taking care of myself and brainstorming ways to kill myself. I'm complicated like that.
I found a map of the Green Mountain trail system online today and made a pleasant discovery about the hike I did yesterday! At one point I was on Tin Mine trail! Davis trail came to an intersection giving me the option of going left or right. I chose right. I didn't know it at the time, but I'd chosen Tin Mine trail. If the trail hadn't been so icy and steep I could have continued in that direction and instead of dubbling back to the trailhead, I could have walked a full circle. Noted for next time, that's for sure.
I need to close for now. Why? because I'm falling asleep. I can barely keep my eyes open! So weird. But of course I open again tomorrow, so no rest for the weary.
