Damn I’m tired of talking about my sleep habits.

There’s got to be something, anything else that actually happens to me on a regular basis that I can journal about and thus add to my memoirs and preserve for all of history.

…… um….. well, there’s… uh, no…. I could always… maybe… uh…. hmmm.

Nope, I got nothin’. Sleep it is.

Been sleeping a bit better lately, actually. Sometimes I wake up and I barely feel like shit at all. It’s like a freakin’ miracle, I tells ya.

I think it’s largely due to the fact that I have resumed usage of my nasal spray, beclomethasome, AKA the steroids I shoot up my nose.

Don’t worry, they’re not THOSE kinds of steroids. The ones that give home-run champions heads like giant misshapen mutant melons are anabolic steroids. These are the cortical kind, not too different from the kind asthma sufferers have in their inhalers.

Cortical steroids are great for when you want something to open right up. In the case of asthma sufferers, it’s their bronchi. In my case, it’s my treacherous sinuses.

I have highly problematic sinuses. They have a tendency to be very irritable, plus I also suffer from hay fever, so a lot of the time, they’re runny, or worse, clogged.

Clogged is bad because it leads to a pernicious problem of slowly building sinus headaches. It’s a problem not just because they’re painful, but because the pain builds slowly over time, causing me to not notice it consciously, just become more and more depressed and irritable as the world seems to become louder, harsher, and more painful.

Plus, if the headache gets bad enough, it upsets my stomach, and gets all tangled in with my IBS, and that can set off a whole clusterfuck of hurt.

Luckily, I am getting very good at saying to myself “I feel like shit… is it the sinuses? Then it’s time for the spray. Low blood sugar? Eat. Lack of sleep? Nap. ”

So most of the time, I keep this stuff in check.

But I have to always vigilant.
