Thur 26 April

Around Easter I couldn't sleep at all. Up until 1 or 2, go to bed and catnap off and on until it was time to get up for work. Now I'm sleeping, go to bed around 10, no later than 10.30 and quickly fall asleep. The problem is staying asleep. This week it has been the phone, it rings around 11.30-midnight. For two nights it was Ray, the third a hangup.

I sleep but don't rest and wake up feeling groggy. Sleep has been heavy, still and dreamless. Been feeling paranoid lately, like they are just toying with me until some other smuck happens along for them to toy with.

The shower is a little hotter than I can tolerate. I stand there and let it wash over me. No matter how hot the water is my tears seem to be hotter. I come out beet red and my already too dry skin is crying out for moisture.

Try to drink plenty of water, but can't seem to. My hands are cracked and papercuts take forever to heal.

Have been on a crying jag for 2 evenings in a row. Mom emailed me and said there is a bookfair this weekend. Sounds like a good excuse to go home.

I've been emotionally drained these last few days but don't know why. Nothing has been going on.

The space cadet has been gone over a week now from work on "medical leave". And the hassle I was getting from grunt today made me wonder if grunt wasn't the reason he left. I icq'd grunt's supervisor asking when graphics will be getting a new manager. I think the idea of a manger for us was scraped when a project to take on our parent company's advertising fell through. Since nothing will change why have a manager? We did hire a new guy who starts May 7.
