January 23: Pre-Storm Friday
Jan. 23rd, 2026 10:26 pmNot to be a broken record but I am so tired, I want to fall asleep on the couch. I easily could. I did for about 10 minutes earlier (I set an alarm and also this was before dinner so my food-motivation was high).
Everyone’s anxiety about the storm was kind of bringing me to my limit at work. I am really running out of brain space that can be devoted to worrying. So, I don’t know. We’ll see. It’s not supposed to start until Sunday night. I’m already off Monday. I’m hoping the power stays on. I’m in a better position than some other people are. And I don’t think any pine trees are going to explode.
Hopefully I can get a lot of work done. I don’t really want to sleep through half of tomorrow but… I might sleep through half of tomorrow. I am so worn down! It’s going to be a struggle just to get from the couch to the bed.
There are so many things I want to do and they’re sort of swirling around my brain but in the most hypothetical way.
Anyway, between the pre-storm atmosphere and just the whole uselessness of this week, I didn’t get a lot done. I kept getting sucked into conversations. After work I did get quite a bit of reading for school done. I keep trying to tell myself that I’m actually in a pretty good place work-wise but… yeah. It’s. Hard for me to believe stuff like that.
