Tuesday-like-Monday

[lagilman]

Yesterday I tried to put all the crap to the side, and enjoy time with friends (and a well-smoked slab of brisket). And it was lovely, but... I came home and had emotional-stress-related insomnia.
Because everything that happened this weekend hit some of my less-traumatic but still-present buttons, just as they did most every woman I know.

Because we know all too well it could just as easily have been us.

So now I'm going on three hours of sleep. My eyes feel like sandpaper and my brain's jello. BEA begins on Thursday. I have emails to send I don't want to write, projects I need to finish, and chapters to revise.

If I were the sort to drink Irish coffee for breakfast, this would be a day I would do so.

Hope your Tuesday-like-Monday (or ordinary Tuesday, for those outside the US) is going better.

It is the same here , Tuesday like Monday and it is a crap day outside, raining, and i ma feeling a bit crap too. Oh well, better days ahead hopefully.

My stress related sleep loss is almost always about work or catching flights. Annoyance or fear, respectively. A bad enough day at work reminds me of other bad days and it's all down hill from there.

For me, that's a "normal" level of stress. The national-stage events (and on-line follow-up) of this past weekend was a whole 'nother animal.

Yes. And here's a virtual Irish coffee.
