I wonder if I have some sort of sleep disorder. I do sleep at night, but I'm up frequently to pee or readjust myself or whatever, and I'm basically tired all the time. Not so tired that I can't function, but tired enough that I could always nap if it were an option. I fall asleep with Netflix on, which I know is bad for my circadian rhythm, but without it, I can't fall asleep at all. I'm sure I could...but I don't want to.

I'm going to the Blazer game tonight, against the Jazz, which is very exciting and happy for me, but at the same time I wish that didn't mean I'd be out until 11pm tonight. That's a good three hours later than I'm usually asleep.  But no biggie -- tomorrow is do-nothing day, and I intend to snooze well into the afternoon. I haven't had a real do-nothing day in weeks. It's going to be awesome.

I have all the parts of my aquarium in my house, but nothing is set up yet. It's kind of daunting and I feel like I should hire someone to help me do it, but the seahorse store guy assures me he can walk me through it on the phone. I may take that on this weekend, but not if it gets too much in the way of do-nothing time.

I am not a fan of full work weeks. My regular part-time work schedule is really ideal for me, and this week has made me thankful for what is my norm. It would be nice to have a full-time income, but the tradeoff is worth it to me. My job is fun and easy and great, but I still find myself watching the clock and counting down to quitting time...one hour til my break, which is going for a run, which isn't really a break, then I come back and eat leftover Indian food two hours from now, and six hours from now I go home. Doable. But it's still kind of a bummer to me that I'm in this countdown mode. It's a sign of discontent. It'll pass, though. In about six hours.

Have you been checked out for sleep apnea?

I haven't. I don't feel like that's it, though a possibility, I suppose. I don't have the luxury of getting checked out for anything. That requires specialists and referrals and either insurance or money, and I have neither.

The entire time I was in Arizona, I went to sleep with the TV on. At home, if I fall asleep in front of the TV I think I sleep better than when I get up and go to bed. Don't know why, but it just feels more satisfying to me.

Sadly, it wasn't until the last trip that I found out the tv had a built in sleep timer. DOH!
