5 hours sleep straight?
Without some a-hole waking you up every 60 to 90 minutes eating or whinging or just talking to the cat next to you?
Gees louise what I wouldn't give for 5 hours unbroken sleep.
sorry Flo.... don't you hate it when someone makes your post all about them?
I hope I made you smile.
I don't know what you do for a living but would it be a hoot if you took in a pee bottle to use at your workstation? Like, don't use it, put apple juice or cold tea in and just show it to the supervisor when she comes past. "See, I didn't use the bathroom".
Now I'm not normally a trouble maker, I take the line of least resistance in all areas of my life, which is how I ended up sleeping next to an a-hole who wakes me up at least 4 times a night, every night.
He doesn't shower very often. He has (aside from all the mental health stuff) fibromyalgia and some auto-immune skin thing, so showering isn't always pleasant for him, but whatever the reason he still smells bad after 4 days working in the garden all day and sleeping in the same clothes each night.

Dude... shower! I know it will be an effort, I know you might not think you'll feel better for it, but I'm a mum and mums know these things. Only 3 parts sore? You're obviously not over 50 are you?
Living through every day is victorious. For each and every one of us, whatever our struggles, making it from sun up to sun down in one piece is an achievement to be lauded. I laud you!
Waking up before dawn means you get to see the sun come up and I love that. It also justifies an afternoon powernap. I love those too but my boss isn't so keen when I do it at the front desk.
Being "emotionally open" shouldn't be embarassing. Eff the patriarchy. Ring lifeline, mensline, womensline, or the old people's insurance who say you'll always get to speak to a real person. (not so sure about that one).
Post every day if you need to.
Love
