5 Mar 00
Weekends are a mixed blessing. The big crush
to find work eases off a little. I can do homework on my target companies
and sift the net and work on my resumes and hit the library, etc., but
it's at a slower pace, not electrified by the knowledge that I only have
the hours of a standard work day in which to operate.
And I can rest a little. I build up a huge
balloon of exhaustion during the week, and oh how I need the rest.
But when my mind turns from the chase, there is one thing waiting for me,
haunting me, getting between me and a good hard sleep.
I don't sleep well anymore, not without the sound
of snoring, not without being held. Some days, for several days at
a time, I can comfort myself to sleep with warm and happy memories, and
it works. But the past few days, my thoughts wander over to where
I could have gone wrong, to what happened, and is it anybody's fault, is
it my fault, should I be angry, am I regretful, and how did I get here?
I've written and rewritten the rest of this entry
several times now. I want to put down what's in my head and it is
just coming out confused and selfish and soap opera like.
Oh, screw it.
