Checking in from the frozen tundra that is Chicago. It is currently 12, which is warmer than my morning commute. I don't think it will be this cold for parkscon, don't fret.
The worst part about this week has been my inability to sleep. I've slept a total of 5.5 hours in the last 55 hours, and will be going in late to work tomorrow.
I also have to deep-clean my apartment in the next day and a half as my cousin is staying with me for the weekend. We are excited and I'm nervous.
I started taking my meds again, and I haven't cried yet! I've also lost four pounds, some of which was period weight gain, but I'm feeling better about that. I'm not super averse to weighing a specific weight. It's just when clothes don't fit right, I get upset.
Beer me strength over the next few days. I'm going to need it.
I feel your pain, as it's currently a balmy 9 here.
Glad to hear you are feeling better/not crying on meds. I had the same situation in early January (and about 75% of last year). Hope you can get some sleep SOON, especially with a visitor coming! Damn gurl, how are you staying awake?
My next door neighbor looks like she can't get warm, I passed her in the hallway.
I've never been good at sleeping. I think I've slept a solid 9+ hours once in the last year: when i went to see stars_inthe_sky. I slept on her air mattress for almost ten hours. It was bonkers, but I needed it. I wantedto do more things, but my body needed the sleep, i guess. I stay awake by drinking a ton of water (you can't fall asleep if you have to pee!) and by just working all the time.
True, water would definitely help! I find that I sleep longer on weekends, but only average about 5 hrs/night during the week. But I also pump myself full off caffeine, so that's helpful.

I saw an Onion headline about our weirdness, and it was basically, "Midwest gets pelted with massive storm, everyone acts normal and moves on."
