I was going to say it's been a difficult week, but then I remembered that there've also been plenty of good parts. Complicated.<\/p>\n
Monday at work I heard confirmation about something (that I can't talk about publicly yet, but since I'm being vague, I should make clear that it's nothing to do with the company) that left me really sad and distressed. By Monday night, I was completely exhausted (and still kind of jet-lagged from the weekend trip to Chicago). But I got far too little sleep, and spent all day Tuesday staggering around incoherently, barely able to keep my eyes open, and not feeling entirely well; ended up calling in sick to work, though I got a little bit of work done from home. Caffeine didn't help; I should have tried napping, but didn't think I would be able to sleep. I had some difficult online interactions, made more difficult by my incoherent state.<\/p>\n
Tuesday night I finally thought to try my old sleeping-aid standby, NyQuil. Which had its usual miraculous effect. I got somewhere vaguely approximating enough sleep that night, and woke up feeling well-rested.<\/p>\n
The weather has been really nice (though a bit hot yesterday). I got Cora the typewriter back (she'd been out on loan to an elementary-school library; the kids apparently loved her). I've been enjoying winding the lovely pocketwatch I got at C2E2 (pix to follow someday if I remember). Today is May 1, which means it's been 22 years since a certain Beltane on the beach<\/a>. I've been finally following up on some stuff that I've been delaying or putting off or just forgot about or didn't see for a long time. (I may have a lead on getting my bookcases-with-library-ladder built.) I've been making daily progress on the novel. Really, most things in my life are anywhere from pretty good to very good.<\/p>\n But then there's this other kind of devastating thing going on (more so for someone else than for me), and I'm kind of a mess.<\/p>\n So: Complicated.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was going to say it’s been a difficult week, but then I remembered that there’ve also been plenty of…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-updates"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14901"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14901\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
