Bad Day

Apr 11, 2017 02:27

Today was not a good day for a number of reasons. For one thing I didn't get any sleep last night. I have a theory that my bouts of insomnia are indirectly caused by my job. Facing the prospect of going to work is so unpleasant that I'd rather avoid it by sleeping than face it. Consequently I spend too much time sleeping. I often sleep till right before I need to get dressed for work. As a result my body has shifted to it's natural state of going to sleep in the morning and sleeping until afternoon. I'm going to try to force myself to get up at 9am everyday (except Saturday) to see if that affects my sleep patterns.

As a result of no sleep, I was drowsy and had difficulty focussing in class. While I was able to follow the lesson in macroeconomics, I'm having difficulty fitting it into the larger picture. I also had an upset stomach. At Cha's suggestion/invitation, I returned to her apartment for lunch.

On the way I ran into Huiying. It was funny in a way. I first noticed her talking on her phone, a short distance away. Only I wasn't sure it was her, because her back was to me. I stood there for a couple of minutes waiting for her to turn so I coukd see her face. Shortly after she did, she spied me and waved, quite happy to see me. We talked briefly mainly agreeing to meet again Thursday to hang out. In related news she found a job in Oklahoma, so I'm very happy for her.

The rest of the day passed in a bit of a haze. Lack of sleep will do that. Right now I'm ready to nod off. Maybe later I'll write more.
