I did get confirmation that Sunday is the last day I need to do the voicemail project, which is a big relief.
Spent an hour and a half at work today in the wooooorst meeting that should have been an email. (On the one hand, good that the meeting about all the stuff we should remember to do was all stuff I already remember to do. On the other... oh, ninety minutes I don't get back, lol. On a mysterious third hand, I'm annoyed that it was such a waste, because they've delayed this promised meeting for MONTHS, and then they spend the whole time on useless crap?)
I finished the second draft of one of the AU fics last night, but it was late enough I didn't feel like going through the hassle of posting it. I was glad I could post it today, in the hopes it would maybe make me feel a bit productive to start my evening, and see if that would inspire more.
Can you guess what I didn't do?
(By the time we'd eaten dinner and I'd made it through a bit of stuff here, it was already late enough that posting the fic would show up under tomorrow's date, so I might as well wait until tomorrow...)
But now I'm also ready to just Be Asleep, and writing more sounds beyond me.
I'm really tired of feeling so exhausted every fucking night. Getting more rest doesn't seem to *help*, but trying to force my way through doesn't yield anything useful, so it feels like I'm just screwed either way.
(Is this lingering fatigue from getting covid last year? It doesn't seem quite consistent enough for that, but it really is like hitting a fucking WALL, the way I associate with fatigue. It also seems more severe than the tiredness I sometimes had prior to covid, though I'm not sure it's really a stark pre- vs. post-covid experience.
Is this some sort of migraine nonsense? It's only recently that I started to learn about migraines that present with more than just severe pain (thanks to some people here and a couple coworkers who have them), and I almost never *don't* have a headache - the headaches I have just aren't always the debilitating kind I associated with the migraines I got when I was a student. But they do seem to come with the brain fog and exhaustion that sound unfortunately typical for some of my other friends. And I did have that ocular migraine/aura episode a couple months ago, which was the first of its kind that I experienced.
Is this just plain old work stress burnout? Also plausible!)
