to keep from driving myself nuts

i've been trying to stay busy in one form or another. mostly i've been sleeping a lot because i'm trying to get over whatever has attacked my head. coughing and sniffling is not fun. i'm so over it. my spirits have been a little higher lately but i think it's partly because i'm escaping reality by sleeping so much. i know that's not really good but i'm doing my best to take care of myself as much as i know how to right now.

i went shopping today. i haven't bought new jeans in probably about three years. so i bought a pair of jeans today, along with two shirts and two books. i'm excited about reading. i don't know if it sounds stupid but it seems to help my brain work better and i tend to feel more creative. maybe it'll get me writing anything again.

i'm only working two days this week. i had today off for martin luther king jr day, or whatever today is. i took tomorrow off because i haven't had any time off other than weekends and holidays since july and i'd been feeling so beat. i just needed a break. and thursday is my uncle's funeral.

when this is all said and done, i might take some time away from the internet and focus more on myself and getting back to a good place. it's not going to be easy but i don't want to keep feeling the way i have for the past two weeks. but who knows. there are so many times i've said i'm going to do something and then i don't. i'm just taking life one day at a time right now. what else can i do?
