I have slept like crap for two nights in a row and last night I woke up from a nightmare around 3 AM. I stayed up for an hour before going back to bed, and I had to leave the lights on which I rarely do anymore. I rarely have nightmares anymore so they seem to be especially harrowing whenever they manifest.

Today is a workday so I am especially glad for the remote work because I could potentially burst into tears at any second, that's how low on spoons I am. I do not need any social interaction right now, and thankfully we only have one 15-minute status meeting today.

I also don't have any proper food prepared so I'm going to have to prepare something after work. I have some noodles so that's what I'll have for lunch and maybe some sandwiches. I'm also thinking about spending the evening playing Civilization, either V or VI, probably V because it's familiar enough and I've only played VI once and there were some things I am not yet ready to try to absorb. I'll need to use my brain some but I don't have to engage emotionally so I think it'll be a reprieve. My concentration for the written word is shit right now and I'm in the middle of a great book which I don't want to continue reading until I can properly concentrate on it. It deserves my undivided attention, dammit.

Okay, that's the fighting spirit I'm looking for. Onwards.

(Soundtrack of the day is the Beastie Boys because they radiate the positive energy I need right now.)
