Well, I did finally get some sleep. I dunno, maybe 5 hours or something. I need to probably be paying more attention. A good patient would be writing all this down. But then we all know that nurses and doctors are by far the worst patients of all time. So, there.

Not too sore after the bike crash, thankfully. Scraped up, but it will be fine. Going to do some writing today. This book about the hospital is quite triggering for me, which is why I have waited so long to conclude I must finish it. It can be very painful to have to re-live this stuff in getting it down on paper (Word, that is). So, I just have to go at a pace I can manage, so my PTSD doesn't act up too much. So far, so good.

Decided I am going to start saving for a trip. Have not been anywhere in a very long time, but used to travel for work a lot. I am a diver and am thinking about the Solomon Islands. Been to Fiji, which is about 1500 miles to the southeast, but the Solomons are far less traveled and therefore, the diving is much more untouched. Have to fly to Brisbane and then catch a connector to the Solomons' capital, Honiara. Have to put a bit away every month, but I think I can do it. Gives me something to plan for and look forward to, which is good. I generally don't have a lot to look forward to.

Hope everyone is managing the holiday stress okay.
