I'm trying.....

The picture of restlessness......

This past week has been fun. No. Really. It has. What? You can't hear....err....read the sarcasm?
Oh. Well. I'll work on that part. You should be hearing my brand of sarcasm soon, I hope. Let's say....uh....let me write this -- next week sometime.

So, about the post title. Yeah. I'm trying to keep my sanity, what little I think I have left. Sleep has been eluding me. Again. Joy.

The restlessness is from stress. The stress is from -- gents, pardon me, although not really -- an uninvited guest. That time of month happened. When it shouldn't have. I recall writing about this lovely part of my life not too long ago.

I am in my second month back on the brand name birth control. Sigh. I don't think it's working. I told myself to give it the two full months. But it's really messing with me. It screws up my sleep schedule; the sweating is back. It screws with my blood sugars; on temp basal, eating and having great digits. It makes me very tired; on top of restless sleep. It stresses me out; it shows, it hurts.

I've been trying to do little workouts here and there. I am trying to take walks. I am trying to breathe. In the meantime, my job has been keeping me very busy. That is a very good thing. Focus helps. I suck at it most of the time but trying helps a lot.

Also, my boss is having outpatient surgery today. Nothing major just much needed. I've wished her well, I continue to send good vibes and I am praying for her. All will be ok but like me, she hates missing work. So while I am struggling with something I have struggled with for a long time, my boss has given me a bit of perspective. I hope to be very productive today, if only for her sake.

Interesting. It feels good to write. While the break was nice, getting away from the computer more, it's also good to get things out. I am unsure if I will be posting as much as I was in the past. That's ok though. I am trying some new things and I am enjoying it.......

one day at a time.
