I was the girl that could go for a disco nap in a club at 2am then bounce back to the bar at 3am feeling much better !! If sleeping was an Olympic sport I'd be a champion medallist (well, insert quotation marks from Dirk here) !!! So it's a bit of a shock to me not to be able to glance at the clock and roll out of my slobber on one side of the pillow and over to the dry spot on the other side.
Insomnia.... not something I've ever had to deal with really. Certainly not night after night. From 3:21am this morning I was wide awake.
I managed to read my emails and all of my Facebook within the first 20-30 mins. So next was a bit of blogging. (reading type) and research..... now I know some of you reading this are going to talk about some meditation techniques and calming ideas to help me go back to sleep as soon as possible. Believe me I am definitely considering all of them. I'm not ignoring the advice, but at the moment I'm just going with the flow of what's on my mind...... and anyway, by about 4:30am I was shopping for a dress for my friend's wedding :-) So as you can see not all wasted time going on !! .... (I haven't found a dress yet, so no purchases were made)
Morning pill regime was pretty easy - I had the shakes in my hands earlier, but that could have been the two coffee's I had before 9am instead of anything else.
Tuesday so far has been pretty ok. Meetings all morning including a work review on my business department - all good stuff to keep the mind occupied and plenty to focus on going forward. I guess it's hard for the company to try and work around me too - at the end of the day they have a business to make profitable. But I have to say I feel very supported. My boss and I talked about contingency plans IF they arise and how we will manage going forward. I think as long as I communicate my happenings, all will stay good for now. (Fingers crossed) Taking it one day at a time......
Later this afternoon / evening, my sales team & marketing team and our partners are off to a Mining evening with Nathan Sharpe (apparently some Australian Rugby player) We booked this ages ago so have no excuse not to go. It's up at Kings Park so am hoping to get my Day 4 picture from up there....
I must admit it's weird writing an online "diary" and then realising that people will be reading it. I have to keep remembering that it's for me and for no other reason - so then why wouldn't I just keep it in a Word.doc ??? hmmm....
Day4 Pic....
