jetlag + curiosity

neither of which actually killed the cat

one thing I was not prepared for as I get older, the effects of jet lag.

I used to be able to circumnavigate the globe, return home, and things snapped back to normal with one perfect night’s sleep.

these days, I am a mess.

the last couple days I have been trying to stay tucked away in my snuggley blankets like a human burrito, but keep finding myself randomly jolted awake at 2:30 am, hovering my arms above my nightstand in search of my Kindle to finish off the spicy romance novel I’ve been reading called The Paradise Problem. If it’s not my Kindle, steamy romance, and 2:30am, it’s been X-Men ‘97 on Disney+ at a luxurious and god-awful 5:30am, in the hopes of nostalgia luring me to sleep.

I’ve tried all the tricks, but to no avail, my 8 hours of solid sleep are out of arm’s reach, a reach so distant, not even my “desperate times call for desperate measures” weed gummies can provide me solace.

I am praying for a solid 8 hours of sleep, maybe tonight will be the night.

Here’s to manifesting sweet sweet slumber.

In the meantime…I’ve been curious…

Curious Question

I am circling in on 100 posts which seems so wild to me that’s a lot of writing and time involved and it’s all been such a crazy and fruitful learning experience. I’ve been toying around with doing an “in front of camera” type post that can serve as an emblem or milestone of sorts for the 100th post. I know I mostly post things to read here, but would any of my lovely readers/friends be interested in a video? or even audio?

Is that even remotely intriguing?

Please let me know in this poll??
