Self, You Really Need To Get It Together.

“I could really go for a nap,” I say to Hillz as we are driving back from brunch, yawning while simultaneously passing a sign that says “Don’t sleep! There is too much living to do.”

Frankly, I’m full up on living at the moment. I need some sleep! All week I’ve been trying to play catch up post-vacation and it is showing on my face and in my attitude. I’ve been all over the map with my emotions- not eating regularly, not walking, getting less than 8 hours of sleep, crying sporadically, feeling the overwhelming desire to scream just to let off steam. . .you know, typical Sizzle behavior when I am completely ignoring my own needs.

Time for a fucking regroup.

“But if I listen to the dark/You’ll embrace me like a star/Envelope me, envelope me…/If things get real for me down here,/Promise to take me to before you went away/If only for a day/If things get real for me down here,/Promise to take me back to the tune/We played before you went away. . .” – Sound of White, Missy Higgins

I am totally going through that whole melt down process at the moment. When I don’t get enough sleep everything falls apart. Watching movies is just not worth feeling this crack headed.

I hear you, sometimes all we need is a little power nap and then we’re ready to live it up grand! Sleep woman, you need it.

I wish I didn’t feel like that, either. Perhaps if we give ourselves some love and nurturing time, it will level off the drama feeling inside.

You have had alot going on the past week or so. It’ll get better, I promise. *hugs*

After about two weeks of getting no sleep I’ve fianlly had two good, solid nights. Let me tell you, the difference in me is like night a day. Sometimes you just gotta catch up.

Yep, you gotta sleep. That’s one of the laws of nature, just like the one that says the neighborhood cats must use my garden for a bathroom.

Take advantage of that snooze button.

YES! Take some time off and regroup. SLEEP! I’m pretty sure life will be waiting for you when you wake up.

AMEN, sister!

I’ve been working ridiculous hours recently with no end in sight!

I’ve been so busy working and seeing the (former) bf that I’ve been in a constant state of exhaustion. NOT fun!

It is amazing the healing powers that a few goods night sleep will have on your life. No sleep turns me into a total wack job and creates havoc in every aspect of my life.

Go take a nice long nap.

I’ve moved! And changed my name! But it’s still me, and I still love cake. Want some?

Your week sounds a lot like mine though I wasn’t ignoring my “needs”, I was just trying to survive.
