So, on Monday napped for about an hour, hour and a half, and then I went to bed early, and then ended up sleeping late, so I got about eight hours sleep on top of a nap and still felt tired, which ultimately led to staying home from work yesterday. At which point I slept another six of the eight hours I would have been at work. Good call me? On the one hand I'm more than mildly annoyed at missing the hours, and on the other hand apparently I needed the sleep. Extra bonus weird I don't know how I feel about this because I don't have symptoms other than I could sleep all of the sleeping.

Which, yes, is a symptom in and of itself of any of half a dozen really awful things, but after about a day, day and a half of that I actually feel way more normal in terms of energy levels so I'm going to guess that's my body going WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING OFF VARIOUS CRUDS FOR WEEKS WE ARE SLEEPING NOW. and yes, I'm taking it easy for the next couple of days. No capoeira tonight. Actually it'd probably be good for me if I go to bed an hour early through Friday.

I picked up my Manga characters book and, okay, I'm going to have ten how to draw this that and the other manga books already before I've finished out the month, but this is useful! Because each of them teaches a different way and little tidbits that weren't in the other book. And some focus on body and some focus on scene and setting and look if I'm dreaming about writing manga scripts (I am not shitting you I was dreaming about manga or comic book scripts or something, I have no idea why) I might as well learn all aspects, not just the one of drawing people in poses. Ahem. (I also need to make time for more realism type drawing, but I think I already know how I'm going to do that.) And then, now, of course, I'm eyeballing pen sets on JetPens. They have two brush pen samplers, other type of pen samplers, I'm going to close that tab now before I spend over a hundred bucks on pens and another set of colored pencils. Next month, self, remember? Yes? Good.

And with all of this I need to remember that writing is also a thing oops. Not really oops, for the last several days I haven't had much energy to write or draw, let alone do anything else, so it's less a matter of ignoring one for the other and more a matter of I need to remember that sleep is something that helps. See also: go to bed early, self, fucking hell. Even if I'm asymptomatic, being around sick people and doing capoeira and pushing myself is probably going to depress my body to the point where I will fall over, and it can be voluntarily or it can be my body shutting down and going fuck this you no longer have the capacity to do anything but stare at cat pictures.

Little things. Going to bed early would be good so I can be rested for this weekend and maybe get some sewing done, time's a wasting on getting at least two projects to the point that I want them to be by the date that I want them to be done. Bit by bit.

But I swear, it is so nice to have energy again.
