Anyone else cracking open a bottle at 3 in the afternoon? Feeling shitty. I don't even know why really, just been feeling shitty alot lately. I shouldn't have started drinking, just one I tell myself, just one because I have to function tonight when my boy comes over... i just want to go to drink and pass out. Anyone around?

Well that's about as much as I can manage today. Haven't finished what I'm working on so will probably need to have a fun convo with client on monday. I tried. It'll get done eventually, just not when I said it would. You'd think being in bed for almost 12 hours straight would've set me right for the day. Ooph. At least i got something done i guess. Just need to try and not kick myself for not getting it all done. I just wanna go back to bed. Small wins though. Got up and did something productive today, that's a win. Just wish the motivation had lasted longer.

You did good @saltandpepper! 🎉💃🕺✔️
It's not Monday yet. Who knows you may feel like chipping away at some more over the next couple of days. It is the small wins my friend. I think you're awesome 👍
I've done nothing today, on couch being lazy. Will put on a working mums and probably fall asleep 😃

My boy is coming around tonight and I don't do work when he's here. So probably won't get any more of it done. Too lazy to get anything done after he goes to bed.
Yes @Anastasia but you have been living through an absolute shit show over there so you damn well deserve the couch time
Im gunna try get some sleep, again. But I'll chat to ya later. And thanks for the pep talk 💙 enjoy your show @Anastasia

It would appear that this repetitive startling awake nonsense is a new issue to contend with around sleep. Not sure why that's happening really. But just focused on my breathing and kept telling myself I'm safe and after a while it worked. Managed to get to sleep. Feels good to have won the battle there 😎
