Anybody Awake Right Now?

Well I'm up, but who cares? So misunderstood. Oh well. I guess I need to wear the bushel again.
 

I care. I was thinking about you and this thread and how you like to visit it. What's going on? Why are you feeling misunderstood? Believe me, I've been there too. @dilettante

At this time of night this thread feels like a little 24 hour coffee shop at the end of the lonely part of town.

I suppose it feels like when people ask for one's opinion it is best to just jump up and down like a happy frog or turn your back to the train wreck in progress. Instead of thoughtful consideration you can be met with hostility based on a surface reaction and little more. People hate to be challenged by a view of things from different angle.

I agree that some don't like to be challenged by a different perspective but the seed has been planted and maybe they will see your point at a later date in time. That is if their mind is open enough.

I don't worry about myself. I just don't think this is the place to make people feel uneasy. So I'll do a "reset" from here on and zip it then move on. You can't change the world.

I thought of all of you, here on this thread;
when I was awake again, between 4a.m. and 6a.m., early this morning (Monday) busily stressing, and trying to stop stressing.

I hope your doggie is doing okay, with the breathing problems, and thinking of you too, @Ruthanne

We got about 10 inches of snow. It's melting and pretty today.
Next storm due,....what?! tomorrow night?! Yep.
Late Tuesday into Wednesday..... possible power outages, again.

@Kaila what were you stressed about. Of course you don't have to say.

That's funny you lived in Ohio too. I've been here all my life except for a few months in CA. That's a lot of snow ❄️🌨️ you got there and expecting more, 😲 wow! I hope you stay nice and warm indoors. That's what I'm doing. We only have had a dusting of snow. It's gone down into the 20s f, though.

It's supposed to be 48 f today...heat wave!

Well I am still up at 2:47 am. I have some things to do today but don't know if I will get them done. I hope I don't sleep all day again.
 
Last night was the first night in a week that I slept more than 4 hours. It occurred to me yesterday that I was upset because being on my condo board for the past 3 years has become increasingly stressful and that my term was up in March and I could choose not to run again.

We have 150 units so lots of people to deal with in addition to the management company and other board members. While I generally love people there’s been lots of obstacles and incompetence and the board has issues with people being able to get along.

It’s a lot more work than it should be and I am spending many hours trying to fix things which isn’t always appreciated. My BS bucket is full. Hopefully I will sleep well again tonight.
 
It's 3:37 am and I'm up . I meant to go to sleep early and I did fall asleep on the couch but woke up wide awake after an hour of sleep.

Looks like it's quiet here tonight.
 
Here on the poor side of town for another cup of Joe again. Highs and lows can be rough. Gives me new insight into what people with bipolar disorder have to live with.
 
It's 5:45 a.m. and I'm still awake. I woke up at 8:15 p.m., went down to the laundry room about 3:15, brought my clothes up by 4:00 a.m. I like going down there in the "middle of the night" because nobody else is down there, so I don't have to worry about being in someone's way or someone being in mine. Also the maintenance man has it all cleaned up by then. I will start drying the clothes (in my apartment) this morning after I get back from the supermarket.
 
Well I'm still up late again. I might be here at the diner again warming my hands on the old ceramic mug, but at least I won't be sleeping in that doghouse ever again.
 
It's midnight about and I am up still. Listening to some peaceful music 🎶. I haven't had parr two of my supper yet. Hot Italian sausage and beans. They are so yummy 😋
 
Up again, but maybe not for long. It isn't really all that late here but another cup of decaf and then I'll probably go watch TV and nod off.
