Three weeks
Well, we're a little over five weeks into 2024, and it's already a mixed bag for me. Hrm. 6^^;; Something happened after the first three weeks that I can't really explain, and I've felt very off ever since.
No, really. I think things were fine until somewhere between Monday, January 22, and Saturday, February 3. Then something felt wrong. I felt stuck. This week feels more like I'm back on track, or getting back into my routines, but it's still not quite right. Even this morning, I woke up from a weird dream, and I don't think that's a good sign...
What's especially sad to me: when I go to bed relatively early and wake up feeling worse. More sleep at night shouldn't do that. 6=__=;; I've been trying not to take naps (I'm incapable of taking short ones -- the concept of a "cat nap" doesn't exist for me), but they're usually, y'know, helpful. I guess I simply need to make the extra hours an actual part of my sleep schedule. Maybe then I won't want to be passed out for half a day some weekends.
Oh, here's one unexpected positive about 2024 so far: I've written, finished, and posted FIVE fics, and their combined word count is a nice and even 2,000 words. Where did all of that come from? O__o;; I've started some other drafts, too, of course, and they may yet go through my usual "let's finish this in a few months or not at all" process of writing, lol.

I was telling someone else this recently and it's helped me. There are 7 types of rest and if we are tired, we aren't doing the correct one.
