angela_n_huntGot no damn sleep last night. Bean (now officially my Coffee Bean) pulled about two/three hours of being wide awake, starting around 1 am.
Ow.
So exhausted that I asked the Ant to cover for me this morning and took a nap once the Mouse was off to school.
Ow.
I'm going back to work in a little less than a week.
I'm in trouble.
And I'm starving. It's like I can't put enough food in me to deal with all the nursing I'm doing.
Ow.
This doesn't last forever though. That's what I know now in clear relief. It's actually for a very short period of time. It's over far too fast. Just in the meantime, I'm very tired, for a quality and definition of tired that's hard to describe. You know it's bad when sleep feels like a physical weight that falls on your eyes.
So.
That's all I've gotten done. Slept in one hour chunks. Nursed. Scrambled for food. Slept. Nursed. Taken ibuprofen in amounts that are probably destroying my liver. I remind myself that it's enough. My art is patient and isn't going anywhere. Novel's sitting patiently on the computer. Hunt Press website is down, but other connectivity is still live, so I'm not losing my mind.
The Bean's calling for me. Time to nurse again.
Moo.
Ow.
