meh

i’m feeling annoyed today. probably not for any one reason.

i haven’t been sleeping well lately. pre-COVID-times i regularly slept between 5 and 6 hours a night. i didn’t love it, but i was used to it. for some reason ever since the collective societal tempo changed with COVID, i started sleeping much better. at least 7 to 8 hours — sometimes more! so slipping back in the 6 hour range for the past few nights has thrown me a little. i feel a little out of whack.

i had a difficult tough-love conversation at work today too. i know that the change we’re working on setting in place is the right one, but there are still some hurt feelings by good people along the way. it’s a process. it’ll be okay. but still.

and my 17 year old left the house this afternoon after his last final for the day (and turned off the driving tracking app we have for insurance) and isn’t home yet. i’m not really worried about him. but i’m annoyed. it’s so… rude.

so that’s it. today was meh for no particular reason. i’ll give myself partial credit for showing up *here* tonight, even if it was only to jot down a few sentences of grump…

p.s. i feel compelled to provide an update here. turns out he hadn’t turned off the tracker, i just misread the dates. and he was actually just at work. whoops. so i take it back. not rude after all.

but i’m still meh. hrmph.
