Lifestyle Redesigned

I have been sleeping like a baby lately – waking up every few hours and crying.  Well maybe not the crying part, but I have not been sleeping well the last week or so.  The combination of stress and working out at night has kept me from getting to sleep till 2 or 3 in the morning.  Then I’m so tired when I get home from work I take a nap on the couch, which only adds to my trouble of getting to sleep later, it is a vicious circle.

I’ve stopped working out for a few days to see if that will help, last night it did not.  I took another nap today, but hope I can get some much needed rest tonight.  When I am this tired I am useless at work, and I think it is starting to show, which is no good.  I need to pick up my game and start getting things done.

I need to work a couple of weekend days to build up some comp time for my vacation at the end of the year.  However if I am having this much trouble getting work done during the week, you can imagine my trouble on the weekend.

I try and clear my mind when I lay my head down to rest, which seems to be my biggest problem.  I can’t seem to stop my mind from running.  Plus my bed seems to be lumpier than ever these days.  I think I may try reading before bed tonight and see how that goes.

Well thus ends another wasted weekend.  I did virtually nothing of interest.  My weekends have come to consist of drinking beer alone, eating alone, and watching t.v.. I really need to find an outlet or hobby to occupy my time.  I guess I’ll make up for it in posts on the internet.

I head back to work and reality once again tomorrow morning, and I can’t say that I’m all that excited about it.  It pays the bills, but that’s about it.  I think it’s time to start making a few changes.  I just wish the economy and the housing market didn’t suck so bad.  That would open up a few opportunities for me.

Till then, I’ll be working, exercising to get back in shape, and trying to find a new hobby.  I’ve been getting into photography a lot lately, and would love to get out and about, but it is still too f*n hot here.  Another month and I should be able to venture outside for longer than fifteen minutes without getting a sunburn.

I enjoy traveling, however that is one expensive past time.  I have traveled quite a lot in the past couple years, I guess my job is good for something after all.  Though the money should be going into my savings account instead of my travel budget.  I think after this vacation I taking in November, my travels will be done for at least one year.
