all I want to do is sleep

Today we were supposed to go back to work (teaching) but we are not reporting. We go in at staggered times on Wed to get our stuff-no more than 2 hours and we are not to talk to others. Get our stuff and get out.


I had wonderful plans over SB to clean out my closet and get rid of clothes that don't fit. Then I was going to straighten out my kitchen cabinets.

but I didn't even do laundry .

Both me and hubby are working from home and all I want to do is sleep

Naps are nice, sleep is naughty.

It's normal. Fit it in when you have to. You will end up working way more than 40 hours no matter when you work.

I've had that feeling off and on for the last week and it is extremely weird. It's also weird to be home at 9:45 on a Monday as well. Saying this really sucks is an understatement.

I imagine that about 2/3 of the world is suffering from varying degrees of depression today. I have found myself vegging in front of this screen trying to stay up on developments rather than get off my ass and going to do something productive. That said, I will wallow in self pity for a while until I get sick of it and then resume living.

For me, this is the most dramatic event of my life. Much more disturbing than losing my parents, losing jobs, being broke. It is scarier than my first day of Navy boot camp! It is worse than when I was bitten by a poisonous snake (that damn near killed me)

Like I say, don't feel too guilty about being a bit out or sorts, one way or another, and sooner or later, this too shall pass, and you will get on the other side of it. Good luck!
