News For Today
Gah... haven't accomplished nearly as much this week as I'd hoped. My sleep schedule hasn't changed in coming from Hagerstown to Omaha, but my sleep has definitely suffered. I tend to sleep so much better when I'm there than anywhere else. Basically, last night was the first really decent night's sleep I've had since, oh, last Thursday. From here on out I'm going to start using my sleep supplements again... I avoid using them when I'm having a terrible time sleeping because they don't put me out like magic so if I can't sleep at all then I end up feeling imprisoned in concrete fog.
I've spent most of the week alternating between trying to wake myself up and trying to get to sleep. The writing I've attempted has ended in cases of Blank Page Syndrome. I got a few things organized, very little written.
Last night I took the step of getting everything in my room with an LED turned off/unplugged, so that when I turn off the lamp by where I sleep I'm in total darkness. It was a very near thing before, but there's a pronounced difference between nearly total darkness and total darkness, especially when you've been lying in it awake for a while.
So, not exciting news: I'm still an insomniac and I've made my room darker.
State of the Me
See above.
Dreams From Last Night
Involved a weird kind of downloaded-consciousness-based time travel controlled by an agency trying to make sure time/destiny/whatever runs smoothly and/or just messing with people... sort of a cross between the Adjustment Bureau and the History Monks, with some overtones of The Matrix and The Sims.
Plans For Today
Rest, recharge... write a little. I'm hoping I can knock out a chapter of Tales of MU but I won't know until I actually start writing if that's realistic for today or not. So no announcements until it's underway.
...
That's probably a good plan in general. Do an hour of writing and then make plans for the day.
