in which our hero admits he really does sleep
...occasionally.
It's been a really stressful week. I lost my temper yesterday for a bit but pulled it all back together. I think even had I not been exhausted the situation--which was someone being an asshole to me just because they were probably having a bad day too--would've resulted in my temper flaring, but as it was, for the the nights previous, I'd only been sleeping about an hour before having bad dreams and waking up. I got a total of two and a half hours of sleep during the Wednesday/Thursday sleep cycle. Ugh.
Anyway, I did sleep well in the Thursday/Friday sleep cycle (I don't know how else to describe it: I'm usually up until 2 or 3 in the morning of the day following the day I awoke in) but I'm still very tired and need to sleep. But I didn't want to stay away much longer so hey, here's a post!
Managed to get two more pages into my latest work-in-progress. Nice. I pat myself on the back!
Got a gig today that's long-term, webmastering for three websites. It won't be much work per week, but when I do work the pay is at least decent if not what I want (about $25/hour) which is the best I've gotten recently, except a couple one-shot computer gigs that were paying $75/hour. But each of those were just for one hour's worth of work so it didn't help me do much except pay my phone bill and buy some groceries. But this webmastering stuff should be relatively easy, which means when I get a real job, I can continue to do it.
Life Changing Event is still up in the air. I find myself sometimes thinking about it and realizing I am LITERALLY holding my breath. I don't know I don't know I don't know. Just keeping my fingers crossed.
I realized today I'm pretty happy. I'm not taking it for granted, but I'm keeping myself happy and healthy in the face of a whole lot of problems. That's a pretty good, self-reinforcing feeling.
But now...bed.
