I guess compassion is called for instead of trying to force myself better. Oh well! I’ll work on compassion and self love instead of anger and hope I get better soon.
I send hugs to all.  |
I'm sorry things are going poorly for you. Hopefully the new day will find you on the upswing. I can relate the the feelings you're experiencing due to lack of sleep. I've had two good nights, however, & some of the fatigue has lifted. I was up at 3:00 this morning again, though. I sincerely hope you can squeeze in one or two good nights of sleep so you can get back into the swing of life again. Missing out on your family gatherings must grate you, but you're right about showing yourself more compassion. Your attitude remains intact!
@
Nammu...I know sleep has been eluding you, too. I hope this cycle ends soon. It seems so many of us are going through this right now. The summer solstice is Monday, so I'm somewhat convinced that might be messing with people's sleep rhythms.

BethRags...Stay cool, woman...Stay cool! 111 degrees sounds absolutely brutal! The Giants are in first place, 2.5 games ahead of those fukking Dodgers! They're also riding a 4 game winning streak. You & your husband must be pretty happy about that. (BTW, I didn't get your @ message.)
Tomorrow is my nieces' (yes, plural) graduation party. It should be fun. My partner has today off work, so she'll put me to work vacuuming, steam cleaning carpets, etc. I need a kick in the pants sometimes. I don't know what things will be like when she retires on July 2. The pandemic was good practice for spending long periods of time together, though.
