Awake and up. Drinking coffee. At 7am on a holiday Monday. Insomnia is pretty bad the last few days. There are some talks I listen to on youtube, I find them really interesting, but the speaker's voice is so mild and soothing that if I watch in the evening on my sofa, I barely last 20 minutes and sleep signals are coming from all over my body and I end up nodding off. Not for the first time I thought I'd listen to some of these in bed. I didn't even think, I'll trick my brain into going to sleep, I thought I'm going to lie awake anyway, so I might as well listen to the talks. (And thought I MIGHT fall asleep). 3 hours of the things. My brain goes - no you're in bed, it is time to sleep, therefore you will stay wide awake. I only let you nod off when you will only get literally 5 minutes on the sofa. Then I counted backwards from 500, I've never made it to one, but I get fed up with counting backwards rather than fall asleep and the numbers start blurring into each other. I got into the 200s. Anyway, at some point it was 3am and some point after that I fell asleep. Then woke up again and it was 6.40am. Knew I wasn't going back to sleep. Still, 3 hours, when it could be nothing - I'll take the crumbs from the table I suppose.
I'm trying to remember self care this week. Hopefully it helps.
This is the week where I'm in between jobs with no plans. I feel like it will be pretty isolating. I tend to worry about things like health insurance, finances, the future if I'm not busy and I don't want to do that. Luckily, I have my faithful cat Ziggy by my side to keep me calm, lol. I even bought pears at the store to paint, if I don't eat them first. Please wish we luck on staying busy in my mind and body this week and not stressing about going back to my old job and what others will think.
Good luck this week, Lane! 
I'm sure you'll do just magnificent with it, as with all things . . . Glad you have Ziggy, too~!* 
Well, we can't waste our time over caring about what others think, when we have little to no control what delusional thoughts may be running through their head/s (in the instances, of those who would dare to think ill-of!)... Try to enjoy the time off, and away. Since it sounds like those don't come often. I hear what you say though. I once knew a true perfectionist. Top of her class of everything. All the way through. And anyway she went into education as her mom who was her hero was a teacher, as well. And so anyway(s), she would always tell me that breaks during Christmas or Summers things like that - I believe she taught classes then, but - the point being, remains, or bears bearing. . . Nonetheless~ >
