Boring holiday weekend - Sunday
Another unremarkable day, another mostly wasted weekend. Treading water, but little forward progress.
OK - a few victories. I got caught up on hooping, i.e. since the 27th, I've averaged an hour of core hooping and 12 minutes of handspinning per day. Nine days counting today. It doesn't seem to have helped my sleep, but I do feel a touch more mental clarity. My stomach is flat in the morning and I'm less likely to need a snack after 9PM.
I went shopping - partly to get groceries sorted at least through Thursday and partly to just get out of the house. Chicken, salad fixings and misc, large bottle of hand sanitizer, biotin, which Jamey takes to keep his hair healthy - sure why not - and a large bottle of calcium / magnesium / zinc pills, which helped my shoulder in the past. The zinc may also help with sleep. I also picked up some sunflower seeds and cashews, which also supposedly help with sleep. I also picked up more henna, since yesterday's batch did a pretty good job. I'm nearly back to my signature auburn. I'm going try it once a month and see if it settles in, then back to every six weeks.
Took a stab at a nap around 6PM. Nope. Then I made another huge salad and cooked up the chicken with enough of the spice rub left over for the next batch. Came within inchaes of ruining it wirh overcooking, but still good. Did the dishes, took out the trash, posted in LJ. One more post today will give me an average of one post per day since the 23rd (13 days).
Here we are at 9:10PM. Food ready for next week, posting and hooping caught up, henna done, but I failed on the most important task - getting caught up with work. I need to take control my my head. I need some fucking sleep.
