miss_lucy21So the time change knocked me for a loop. And then I wound up with a multiday tension headache that was so bad that I was sitting up one night at 2:30 am googling "what does it feel like if you have an aneurysm" and "am I having a stroke" and taking Covid tests (none of those was the issue. Once I got some Advil + Tylenol and some actual sleep the headache mostly went away). And I was just busy and tired. So not much has happened on the cleaning front. I had intentions today, and then there was an unintentional 4 hour nap, so that kind of just derailed everything.
I am experimenting with whether some caffeine at lunch makes it more likely that I'll be able to do things like pack my lunch in the evening or do something useful in the afternoon instead of just crashing after work. Results are currently mixed. A couple days, yes, it worked well. A couple days it did not work at all. It's possible that there were other factors on those days. But I probably need to give it a normal week, which won't happen until after Thanksgiving. So we'll keep trying. There's also the what caffeine and how much caffeine, etc. that needs to be worked out and tweaked. I've been drinking V8 Energy in the morning at least most days a week, and that does not have a ton of sugar, etc. It's got slightly less caffeine than a cup of coffee, which is usually a good range for me. So I'm looking for a similar caffeine vehicle for the afternoon.
I probably should eat some dinner. So overrated.
