Dear Diary

I said every day and I wasn’t sure what that would look like, but even I need down time. Time when I don’t have to think about anything. Since I started this I have loads of drafts of things I’m working on. Most of my daily posts have been drawn from signficant happenings in the day that sparked an idea. Today, is simple a journal in time.

I didn’t get up early like I wanted because going back to work has been exhausting (not mentally, but physically). As an introvert, I forgot how brutal standing up for hours and talking is. I’m an instructor, and standing up is basically mandatory, and I suppose talking is too since they have to learn. lol. It really isn’t so bad, but my back was on fire when I opened my eyes this morning. I think I looked at the ceiling for 30 minutes wondering if I had anymore lidocaine patches tucked away. The other thing to note about this is that I’ve been sleeping on the couch for some reason instead of my bed. Don’t ask me why, it’s just been where I’m most comfortable mentally even though my body does not agree. The to-do list tomorrow will contain a segment on seeing if physical therapy once a week can fit into my schedule again. I had been going for 3 months and seeing improvement before having to go on a month and a half long break due to work. Since prioritizing my mental health, my physical has taken a back seat and I can feel it most days. Anyway, I’m dozing off at the wheel so I should hit publish, I’ll see you tomorrow.
