Dragging

[bjarvis]

I didn't sleep well last night. It felt like I ingested a huge quantity of sugar and caffeine before going to bed, but unless those were the secret ingredients in kent4str's lime-pepper chicken & broccoli, it must be something else.

My best guess is that last night's restlessness was due to low level anxiety and stress. While I'm winding down a number of projects, this is still a busy week and job uncertainty isn't helping. A couple of nights at home instead of being on the run should help; now I have to see if I can schedule that in.

On the good side, my sore neck from yesterday now feels fine.

"I don't have any stress or anxiety, so I couldn't sleep".

you know, this doesn't sound very logical or likely.

me, I think it's because (thanks to your memory course(*)) you're remembering too much of the day, and this hyper-information-recall isn't letting you sleep.

(*)which, thank you mr freud, I first typo-ed as "memory curse"

On the other hand, the idea of you unable to sleep because you're too relaxed reminds me of a funny poster, of a secretary bird (with a mop of feathers sticking every-which-way out of the back of its head) looking directly at the camera, "Don't tell me to relax, it's my tension that's holding me together!!"

Um, I'm confused... where precisely did I say I don't have any stress or anxiety?

ah well, now that I look at it again, the problem is my misreading.

what you wrote:
restlessness was due to low level anxiety and stress

What I read:
restlessness was due to low level OF anxiety and stress

(or, I had a very low level of anxiety and stress [compared to my normal levels])

to quote emily litella: "never mind".

But I still rather like the too-much-memory-course theory.
