This is Just Gray

Work's been bad, but definitely some progress on the whole sleep thing. Setting multiple alarms did the trick, and going to bed early helps. I don't fall asleep right away, but that's not really a big deal; lol I don't actually remember a point when I ever fell asleep easily.  So long as I'm in bed and resting, I at least fall asleep faster than when I was sitting up watching the news 'till all hours. And my brain feels a little less noisy when I do lay down, which I'm sure doesn't hurt anything. Nothing really to blog about tonight, things have been pretty uneventful, and with work being so hectic I haven't had time to plan out that tour thing. I know I wanna do it, but I don't want it to be just random wandering around town. I wanna make something that folks will like, and that definitely isn't it. I'm pretty much done my Garrus video, though. It's taken a bit longer than expected because I keep having to interrupt it for work, but ...

Success! The alarms worked last night. :) I set four, and I slept through the first two, but I woke up on the third and was still out of bed by the time I wanted to be. Feeling great; got a bunch of work done today and almost got myself back on track. Did some more doodling, really enjoying the new art program. All in all a great day, here's to a great week! 

 That twenty four hour sleeping stint recharged my batteries a bit, but I think I may have to take a day off soon, regardless. Whatever bug has had me feeling sick and gross for the past couple of weeks hasn't quite gone away, and the sleep didn't really seem to actually make me any less tired. I'll do that soon, but I have to get a bit more stuff done first. I know I said this space was supposed to be for avoiding the topic of work, but I don't think anyone is actually reading this anyway. And besides, I won't really talk talk about work. The news of that suicide and the way the media is handling it just has me feeling a way, I guess. It just feels like trying to go against the current constantly at this point. No matter how much I try to do what I can, it feels like I'm not making any difference, even with the people immediately around me. I decided to take on journalism on top of the art because I cared about it, it isn't like it pays anything worthwhile ...
