Anyone else staying up later and later? This lock down has me just ignoring my normal bedtime. Or I just lay there and my mind goes everywhere. Sometimes I think this is all just a dream?? I keep buying things from amazon. And then feel bad that I’m putting the workers at risk. Ughhhhhhh

Can totally relate to this. But, I think I’ve been drinking too much coffee through the day and it’s got me wound!

Lol. I’m not up buying anything. I am up later and later. When my mind runs to much and i can’t meditate. I listen to a dose of Alan Watts. Always gets my mental gears shifted. Coincidently he has a great talk on dreams.

I know exactly how you feel. Like my gif. I feel like it’s Groundhog Day. If I go to bed I’ll wake up and still be in this nightmare. And Amazon!? I order something everyday. Just an hour ago I ordered more Pam cooking spray and dish washing liquid. I pick the no rush shipping. You get a 3 dollar digital credit. I’m doing my best to stay in and not go to the store. At least I’m not drinking. I don’t even want to drink.

I have either sanded, painted, hot glued, labled or sewn everything in my house…only things that aren’t nailed down are the kids and pets.
Amazon delivery guy knows me by name.

I’m sticking to my one cup of fresh ground coffee in the am. Then its different types of green teas. I make a large cup and I make a thermos and I just nuke it when I’m ready for it. They say the green teas have a lot of benefits.

Swapping to green tea is a good idea, and I’d probably would not be tossing and turning right now.

Having a drink wouldn’t change a darn thing except make us feel like shit tomorrow and then we’d be beating ourselves up for it.

Refraining from buying anything i dont need but, its 4 am and i have been awake for over an hour already.
Yup, staying up later all the time. Only minor changes every day, but they are starting to add up. It’s going to be rough as hell when I have to be at work at 530 am again, whenever that may be.
As far as Amazon, I can have a problem with impulse spending. Luckily I’ve already got too much debt and very little income (my unemployment benefits are shit, just got confirmation yesterday) so the blowing money ain’t happening. Only the legit things I need. Yesterday had to buy my omega 3 supplement and it went up $20! Fuck that! Thanks, world! So yeah, that shit ain’t happening.

I’ve been struggling with this too. Going to bed around 11, not falling asleep till after midnight, and waking up at 3 or 4 am. Its starting to get better. I’ve started going into my work (closed restaurant) and deep cleaning kitchen equipment. The physical work is starting to pay off for me, mentally, physically, and emotionally.

I think everyone is a bit out of sorts these days. I know I am.
This is where discipline really shines. I am trying to keep to my regular schedule and habits (with varying degrees of success) as much as possible. Waking and sleeping during my normal times. Exercising during my normal times. Watching my diet, and keeping to my reading schedule. Have to remember that “discipline equals freedom”
I need to be mindful that I don’t catch the COVID-19. Not the virus. The 19 lbs I could gain from eating out of boredom and stress.

This cracked me up @Muffin1226. Will you be providing us with an update about the kids and pets next week? I wanna know if they get glued, painted, labeled or sewn. I think you should set up a poll on the stupid polls thread.
