Today went better than the rest of the week. First, I wasn't as tired as the other days. Not sure what the difference was. I didn't get any more sleep than usual. Got woke up by my alarm at 7am instead of waking on my own before it. I did make the pot of coffee with five scoops of coffee instead of ...
It was another long day of fighting to stay awake and being too brain-fogged to really function. I was also thrown off by the 10yo not doing his classes this morning. He was excused because of his tech and anxiety issues, but it threw my whole day off as I got used to working on writing stuff for tw...
Today sucked. It wasn't quite as bad as before my new meds, but it still sucked. I was so tired all day. I think I went to bed around 1am and got up at 6:30am. I've been doing that for a while so maybe it's catching up to me now or something. Then I had to argue and fight with the 10yo to get him ...
I tried to be laborious on this Labor Day. I spent the weekend doing nothing so wanted to actually do something to feel like I earned celebrating Labor Day. I know, I'm weird. So I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher this morning, made coffee, and ended up cleaning the downstairs bathroom (which des...
I originally woke up sometime around 7am, I think, but decided to go back to bed and actually sleep in a little bit. At first, I just laid there awake, but I must have fallen asleep at some point because when I finally got up for the day it was 10am. And, yes, I regret it. That's 3+ hours of my day ...
Ahh, the weekend. Before the pandemic and at-home schooling, weekends just kind of blurred with the other days. They really weren't much different to me because I didn't get up in the mornings with the kids and didn't have the energy to push homework issues. I just kind of glided along, hoping no on...
Nothing much to report today. Got up a little bit later today--jut before 7am. Woke up, saw the time, and rolled back over, intent on going back to sleep then remembered I had to get up. Ugh. Not a good way to start the day. Drank nearly a pot of coffee on my own while sitting at the table with the...
The day wasn't bad per se, but there were some ups and downs. It was another day of me mainlining coffee to try and stay alert enough to be downstairs while the 10yo did his schoolwork. On top of that, my husband now has Thursdays and Fridays off so he's home, yelling at his video games while I'm ...
The first day of school went about as I expected. Some tears, but mostly frustration and boredom. I've been up since 6am because of anxiety. I sat around my room until a little before 7am then went downstairs to wake the 10yo and clean up the kitchen (like I normally do), but I forgot I never put a...
Well, school starts tomorrow. I think we have everything ready. At least everything we can control. I have the 10yo's area set up. He has the supplies he needs. His ipad seems to be updated, I figured out his Zoom issues, and he's logged into his google classroom. The 14yo will be fully enrolled i...
T minus two days and counting until school starts. I'm really feeling the stress now, and it's making me feel sick. I completely forgot the 10yo's virtual open house tonight. We watched a movie then I shooed him out so I could continue with my knitting I really wanted to have done by tomorrow night...
Got a late start today. It was nearly 8am when I woke up! That's way late for me. I'm normally up around 6:30. It seems to be when I naturally wake up now. I did stay up a little later than usual so I guess that's it. I immediately went downstairs to make coffee. Also did the dishes and cleaned up ...
