Last night I could not turn my brain off. I worried about work. I worried about stuff that happened 20 years ago. I worried about stuff that isn’t even close to happening yet. I also felt a little sick to my stomach which I blame on eating my own cooking, so I skipped lunch. I somehow made it through my work day. What a mess.
The best thing about lack of sleep is that it’s self-limiting. Sooner or later, I find, my body gets tired enough that I sleep in spite of myself. I’m looking forward to that happening tonight.
Update on my decluttering project:
I’m on Day 19 and have donated, recycled or thrown away 171 items. (If my math is off, I’ll blame it on being short of sleep.) So far, I haven’t missed anything. And the process is holding me back from acquiring more junk.
