shingaIt's been a nonstop week of people. I'm a very social creature, but not quite a butterfly. Being alone for long periods of time is very bad for me, but as I found out (and my fucked up meds-related moods might be a large contributing factor) a few days straight of being around crowds of people can be exhausting. I feel entirely burned out.
Luckily in this regard I tend to hop back up on my feet fairly quickly. After two days or so of quiet holed-up-in-my-apartment time I should have the energy to be around people again. Seriously it's so bad right now it's exhausting pulling up enough to even smile and carry on a decent conversation. After some time though I'll be itching to be around friends again and happy to get out of the house.
In other news... well, that's more or less it. I got m'self an exercise ball that I hope to start using for ab workouts (and more, should my body allow)... also, lol, found out where most of my weight loss is centered! ... my calves. What a stupid place to lose weight, they weren't a problem. Silly weight loss.
Insomnia from the "pain" meds is slightly better. Granted I've been cheating and taking melatonin to counter the effects, and when I don't take melatonin it's still an issue. Spent hours last night trying to shut my brain off. Mostly when my brain is awake and running when I try to sleep, it's a variety of things. My imagination going off on a tangent, ideas, memories, emotions, random thoughts I can't figure out to save my life. Last night, it was WORDS. WORDS WORDS FUCKING WORDS. It was like my brain was making the longest Livejournal entry of all time. It was awful. Forced myself into a meditative calm, though it was difficult, but it did wonders. Within the half hour I was finally falling asleep. Yay meditation!
Battling a headache. Yesterday was fun as hell (BOOMSTICKS YAY) but long and tiring. Will's taken the day off of work and is still asleep, poor thing is wiped out. It was a long weekend. Worth it, but long.
But the house is quiet now (outside of the upstairs neighbors stomping about) and that's exactly what's needed. <3
