I got up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep despite trying for a bit, got up pretty late did my meditation wrote a bit and on to work. No spare time for other things or anything. That's becoming a problem. Need to fix my sleep schedule to be able to do other things, but that seems like a challenging task.
Wrote a few posts in the morning, felt good about it.
Work was quite productive, the meetings that I lead created to more work but that meant we had a more clear concept of the work we'd be taking on. The workload that we will be taking on for at least a week divided among several people I thought I'd be doing it all over three days all by myself so I was on it, doing my best to get it out as quick as possible. The meeting cleared it out.
Chatted a bit after lunch with my international friends, they have such interesting and different experiences from those we had back home. Ended up disconnecting, perhaps it was the poor internet or whatever, no matter. Felt a little bummed out after.
Lunch was bread, hummus, cheese. The bread, pepperidge farms berry bread, is the most stale bread I've ever had in my life, I realize now I didn't understand the concept of stale bread until yesterday. It's chewy and it sticks on my teeth, what a terrible terrible product they came up with and thank god that I haven't had those before. Even after toasting they were almost inedible.
I was feeling very high on energy until 2/2-30, and then the energy levels dipped precipitously, unclear if it's the lack of 'balance' or 'groundedness' as they call in the meditation world that caused it, or if it was the lack of sleep. It could also be the fact that I took three tablets of vitmin D and three of my other vitamins, and they could have reacted negatively with my mood. I should really take them more regularly.
Still, forced myself to do the thousand words of daily writing in my work journal, pushed through it.
Dressed up and headed out for Wegamans at a little before five. Figured it would be a short trip but oh it was not to be. As I've mentioned in a previous post, I shopped for two/three weeks maybe longer because I don't want to do groceries regularly anymore, with the pandemic and what not. It's not the right time to be out and about shopping your veggies and breads for fun.
Was tired and hungry at wegmans, sat down at their burger bar and had the tuscan fries for dinner. It is commonly understood that potatoes are not a 'complete diet', which is partially true, but it's also okay for you to eat just potatoes for a meal or two over the course of a week or so if you're doing everything else alright. That's what I did. The fries was my dinner, the whole of it.
Got back, caught up with the roomies real quick, read, worked out, tried going to sleep but couldn't. The outside sounds usually don't disturb me but they did yesterday. Even though I went to bed at 9.05 in the evening, I probably slept well and proper sometime after 11.30, possibly 12. It was tiring to move around trying to get a nice sleep, but I may have dozed off while falling asleep and gotten up I can't tell because this is the next morning and I don't feel tired at all.
That's something strange I've been noticing lately. Even when I don't get enough sleep I feel restful though my head hurts a little bit. My days are not thrown into utter chaos just because the one thing I couldn't get it right. Maybe it's related to the meditation, I dunno, something interesting that's been happening. Perhaps the weighted blanket is not as good as putting me to sleep as I gave it credit for.
