Today I feel considerably less sick than I did yesterday. I was also able to stay up late with no need for caffeine or taurine. That was because I took a nap before dinner. Seems like the nap might finally be the solution to my sleep problem, and a healthy one at that. Only problem is that I don’t have the ability to take a nap whenever I please, nor do I always have the time to take said nap. Sometimes my family likes to do big gatherings were we get everyone together and have dinner. These are nice and I appreciate it very much, but I wish it didn’t encroach on the little time I have these days. It makes me a little frustrated when I know all I’ll have time for after everything is showering and sleeping. I’ve been making a serious effort to not get bent up about it, because it’s a very selfish and rude way of thinking, but sometimes I just can’t help it. I know we’re gonna do something for the Super Bowl. And if that goes the way I’m thinking then I won’t mind it as much, and maybe I’ll have a little fun too, but lost time is still lost time, and I hope I’ll be able to adapt. This time is acceptable because I know it’s coming and I can prepare. When these gatherings spring on me is when I get the most upset. Even then all I have to do is consistently get things situated as soon as possible when I return home. Whatever happens after that, I can handle.

Today also marks a full week of me doing this journal thing, I'll admit I didn't think I could keep at it for that long, didn't even think I'd make it past 3 days, but here I am still kicking. I guess writing whatever I want to isn't as hard as I though it would be. I haven't really ran out of things to say either, since when I don't have a pressing issue to talk about I can simply say how my day went and how I felt about it. Writing my journal takes up my break time at work, but I prefer that time to be focused anyway rather than mindlessly scrubbing through the internet to find value. I've stated before that I add to the journal throughout the day instead of writing it all at once, and that is still true on my work days. With that I have to be careful when I start predicting what has happened. I wrote yesterday that I enjoyed dinner before having it, and well, I did not enjoy dinner at all. This one was much tastier though. I also took another nap today, see if works out that I can finally enjoy my evenings without intense drowsiness
