it's gonna be a long week. high volume plus a week's worth of meetings is such a crap combo
really wish I could go back to bed. though if the bad dreams could stop that'd be nice
don't remember last night's but night before woke up wide awake at like 3am from dreaming about the oven catching on fire
I think the stress is getting to me 😔
I'm really hoping this week will be less actively stressful at home. at least up until my mom's CT on Halloween where we get to find out just how bad the hardware has shifted and how soon she needs more back surgery 
alright gotta stop dragging my feet and try to focus on work. and remind myself to actually take lunch today and not stupidly work through it despite the temptation (I hate feeling behind)
I was sitting here wondering why I'm hearing so many planes this morning (small city, we just have a regional airport and usually there's only a lot of air traffic for the yearly air show). checked local news and the orange one's running mate is going to be speaking at the airport this afternoon. ick
eww
guess I won't be running out on my lunch break. not dealing with traffic nonsense on top of everything else
I wonder if they're going to delay the weekly tornado siren test at 1pm, just in case some out-of-town idiot gets panicked
another source of stress lately : it seems the mice are back 😖 so I'm getting some traps after work. hoping that won't turn into a giant problem since we don't really have the money to spare on an exterminator
I'm already looking forward to the weekend and hoping it will be relatively low stess
although I have got to figure out a way to get my ass in gear with writing/RP because my (perfectly valid) difficulty lately is slowly eating at me
sigh. new thing that makes it hard to work: the TV upstairs on some medical/ER show with crying kids 😖
namang: you're biased but ty ❤️
