10-Minute Warning CLXXV

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

It’s almost 5 in the morning, and almost an hour ago I finished all of the method statements, risk assessments, and permit forms for a single work permit. This is the fourth attempt to submit that fucking work permit, and I’m worried it will go to waste again because one of the requirements that I applied weeks before will expire in a few days. But I’m thankful I got through burning the midnight oil with my Younger Brother’s guidance and a few glasses of my favorite Jack & Coke Zero. Wish me luck on the work permit’s approval this Monday.

Anyway, I checked a few days ago and found that this is going to be my 364th post here on The Diary. Now I want to make my next (and my 365th) post extra special, and I should write it this weekend. Wish me luck on that one, too.

After writing this and drinking my third Jack & Coke Zero, I need to sleep. See you on the next post.

All right. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Since Monday I have been trying to sleep and wake up early—for real, this time. I drink my nightly medicine a few hours before bedtime, I lessen my social media time before bedtime, and I try not to hit the snooze button when my phone’s and smartwatch’s alarms go off.

Is it working for me so far? Yes. Thankfully, yes, and I hope to continue this for a long time. I’m not getting any younger and I need good sleep. I quote my therapist, Dr. M, “Sleep is medicine.”

Anyway, I really should go to bed. Like I said, I’m trying to sleep and wake up early. And tomorrow is another busy day at work. (It has been super-busy for a few weeks already.)

Hello. What can I share here under 10 minutes?

Well, I watched WWE’s WrestleMania 41 later than usual. I watched Night 1 an hour after the first broadcast, while I watched Night 2 a few hours after it premiered because of urgent work. And while the event has a few low points, it was good overall and I had a nice time watching it at home.

Today my WrestleMania 41 review is almost ready, but sadly I have to move it to tomorrow because I’m recovering from a major anxiety attack this afternoon. I just hope I will be truly better by tomorrow.

That is all for now.
