Things to do when the insomnia strikes hard (aka you ran out of the good drugs):
  • lay in bed staring at the ceiling
  • waste time on Tumblr
  • waste time on DW
  • waste time on facebook
  • eat a tasty snack (apple!)
  • admit defeat, rise, paint that buddha statue that needs loving
  • crochet
  • try to sleep again
  • listen to music
  • hate existence
  • make yourself more icons
  • check all social media again
  • don't work on any of your in progress fics, nope
  • do some tidying
  • finally decide it's late enough that you can get up and shower and have tea
  • definitely don't try to be ill, it'll come naturally

Not a great day to be without sleep. I've Tai Chi in an hour (though, really, that'll help) and I have to bake one last big batch of sugar cookies for orders. About a dozen orders over the month for Christmas cookies is not too shabby at all! Plus I'm finally allowed to work a little bit again. So I'll be going back to O&C, which I loved, part time. I'm only allowed 8 hours a week right now, but it's something.

Since I know there's many new friends - I have bipolar disorder and anxiety. By their powers combined, I also have severe insomnia. After an unfortunate couple of events at a place I was working at in Nunavut, I was badly triggered and now no longer sleep without medication but usually with. In this particular case, I didn't realize I was out of drugs. Boo. But I'm getting more today.

Just finished finally watching the third season of Sailor Moon Crystal. It's really different from the original anime, and I'm going to have to reread the manga again as I don't remember at all the purpose of the talismans in it. But the show seemed... all new? I don't know. Meanwhile, still hoping for that Sailor V show. ;)


I have a strong suspicion my window is leaking cold air and that's part of why this basement is so damned cold. Also why my lotus seeds haven't sprouted yet. May have to play mr fix it.
