So I was going to write something intelligent today. It was going to be filled with humour and quiet excitement and may even have included something profound. But as I did not really sleep last night I’m sort of squinting at my laptop trying to remember how words work.
I don’t sleep through the night. I never sleep through the night. I’m like an infant that way. But usually I go back to sleep. Jetlag means I keep doing this thing where after I wake up for the first time in the night my brain is like ‘so, morning then?’ and then I have insomnia at like 3am, which is redonkulous.
So I am going to think incoherently about knee-high boots, write a chapter of Wizards that’s been taunting me for months (cause what’s the worst that could happen?), and on Monday I am totally going to be capable of using my brain again. Probably. Hopefully. I think I need a nap…

I love the title of your post! I hope you get a good night’s sleep.

Thanks. Me too! I always know the insomnia is getting bad when I start daydreaming about sleeping, and we are there right now… But I have the weekend to get it right. Right?

I’m googling jetlag and insomnia! Even more redonkulous.. waking at 3am after successful 5 hours sleep, then falling asleep at 5am until 2pm and still yawning. Physically in Sydney but sleeping in Europe.. again. OMG I’m glad I don’t go back to work until next Monday.
What day is it today?

It’s Wednesday. I think. Jetlag is one reason I am really, really happy I work from home. It means if you’re awake on the entirely wrong side of the clock at least you can do something useful through your time and not stress that you’re going to fall asleep over lunch the next day 🙂
