On the homestretch
So. The meeting happened, the essay is done and on top of that the Pot Luck event is over and was a smashing success despite the fact that I was not able to attend (Where is the organizer? Oh, he’s working on an essay.)
Two more things to go and then I can get on with some other work. I have a group report to do by Monday and then it’s another event for ISAY, the super-stress buster event! Thank God for Gina from the MSAY (Mixed Students Association) it sort of proves the point that two heads are better than one. 
Still can’t sleep. I’ve been told by reliable sources (you know who you are) that it’s a lot deeper than just my theory of eternal jet lag and perhaps indicates that I have a whole ton of shit that’s sitting in my subconscious that needs to be addressed. This new theory does explain some things a lot better than I have been doing before.
But if it is true that means that I have something or things that have been occupying my subconscious for probably the last fifteen to twenty years. For someone who prides themselves on their sensitivity towards their inner life, this is disturbing. How could I have missed it? It also means that my soul, which I thought was already open and naked, is wanting to be exposed even more. If the above is true then that also indicates the onset of yet another life crisis.
That would really suck.

sometimes I wish that when I plan/have events, I could just not show up… but that’s not a possibility since it’s sort of my job as head of res council.
Not sleeping stinks. Are you getting exercise in each day, sticking with routines to allow you to sleep (and calm down, and relax before bed), drinking enough water, limiting caffeine (you always seem to have coffee on Friday’s
), blacking out your bedroom (I find it more difficult to sleep here, since I have TEL outside my room, which means bright lights all night long, shining through my curtains), and a way to reduce stress? Reducing stress is probably the hardest of the list,mind you.
ps: I linked here from facebook. I get distracted by links sometimes…

I was exercising up until I got sick. So right now. No, I’m not doing that. The room is pretty dark, the coffee may be an issue, but I doubt it. Like I say I’m pretty clueless why this is happening.
As for the event, I was there at the beginning, I brought what I had to bring and then went to the library, went back at the end and helped clean up. It was good that they covered for me in the inbetween.
Good to see you here at the site. You don’t have to explain how you got here, you’re always welcome.

are you eating well though? Crappy food means crappy sleep. If you’re unhappy, that could explain things – when I’m upset, I tend to sleep poorly. The weather might be making you an insomniac – weather does strange things!
Or just the illness itself.
That’s a lot of “if”s…
Hopefully, you’ll feel better soon, and with feeling better, sleep returns.

Thanks for the concern. :* You may be on to something with the weather idea…
