Well I'm definitely due for an update, well my journal is due for an update I should say.
It's been hella busy the last few weeks, it's seems the earth's rotation has increased pace again and I'm left clinging the surface in hope to keep up with it all. Work has been a killer & the stress stays with me long after I walk out the door. Poor Nik is doing like 60-70 hour weeks & I can't help but think all our friends and families think we're faking it, antisocial or slackers. They don't seem to understand why we don't have time for them & when we are at home and finally close the laptop-offices we're so rundown that we just don't have the energy to go out or have people over all the time like most of our circles do. I'm missing that energy, I really am. I don't know the last time we just went out for a drink or a coffee or a dance, or something that wasn't a meeting or work-related event.
Anyway, enough of the boringness, what a terrible way to start my journal entry and the weekend.
Had some goodness happen today. We won some free accommodation in Fiji. We get about 4-5 nights in a resort sometime in the next year valued at $1200. We just pay our airfare and foods, travel etc. So that brings some hope that our hard work will be rewarded soon. I can't wait to go. I'm leaving work totally behind, going to be uncontactable this trip and it's going to be a true holiday (haven't done that in literally years). Fiji here we come!
I haven't been sleeping well lately. I keep having crazy dreams. The type which leave you totally exhausted when your alarm goes off. I don't know what it is but I really wish I could turn it off just for a night. Usually I love dreaming and my sleep-life is really active compared to most people (from what I've been told). I love sleep for that reason, I get to do so many cool things in my dreams, but the last few weeks have been totally fucked up. I'm dreaming about work stresses, getting lost, losing Nik, routines, running away or running late for things, just horrible things happening & stresses in general and I'm not getting any relief or rest. I've just had enough. Does anyone know what one can do to dream less? I'd appreciate any insight.
I've just looked across at my profile pic. It's due for an update too. I'll put a new one up there soon as I don't look too much like that these days, for one thing my hair is longer in a bob and purple-ish & I'm missing a few piercings now. That photo must be 3 years old or so. Sheesh.
And don't forget the chickens!
