We're standing here by the abyss, and the world is in flames

I did not sleep worth shit last night. I just could not fall asleep. I tried listening to music, I tried doing meditation, I tried more drugs, but I just could not. Finally, I dozed off around 2:30 am. I get up at 5:30, so that wasn't a whole lot. I was having anxiety before bed, and I guess the pills and emotional support Ghost that I listened to did not help. Tomorrow, I'll take my pills a bit earlier and see if that helps.

Tonight I will take my pills earlier, and put down everything to try to settle my brain. Sometimes that works, sometimes no.

Today will be a busy day at work, and I am not here for it. I will deal, but by 4:30, I'll be very tired. Looking forward to the boss seeing what I got done on the weekend. I feel like it's pretty impressive, so we'll see what he thinks.

I made grown up mac and cheese last night, inspired by my Strixhaven Game, where we had a great discussion about Locatelli Romano cheese. (They were right, it's excellent cheese). We were going to have chicken with it, but the chicken wasn't quite ready, so we just ate the mac and cheese. It was very tasty and satisfying. The chicken will be eaten tonight. Maybe I'll try making some pie crust and make little chicken pot pies. I have celery and carrots and onions. That could be tasty.

The higher dose of Prozac seems to be helping Yoda some. He actually let us sit in the living room without barking. We might be able to watch a movie now and then. ( I still haven't seen Old Guard 2.)

Tomorrow, I think it's supposed to be 98 degrees, so I'll see if I want to go to the Farmer's market. I haven't been in a few weeks, but I'd like to get some vegetables for the week.

And then Wednesday is payday, so I have to pay a couple of bills. Nothing exciting, just the electric and the internet and phone. Also I have to pay on the sofas. Another few months, and I think they'll be ours. Okay, I looked and we have more than a few months. Whoops. Might start paying a bit more on that.

Next month, I get my payout for referring a friend. After taxes, it'll probably be about $750. I'm debating what to use it for. A nice brunch, definitely. Aside from that, I don't know. Probably just my hair. That's high upkeep. Though I thought about getting a tattoo. I just don't know what.

Okay, time to go forth and get myself together for work. Ugh. And to put some eggs on to boil for breakfast. Everyone have the best Monday that you can Monday!
