I&#8217;d stayed up late last night trying to figure out  how to manage all the things I&#8217;m trying to do at once. It just didn&#8217;t seem so bad after a good night sleep. I&#8217;m in a funny space right now.. I felt like I was beginning to max out on many axis t once.. but it feels like I was able to catch it and back down.. I feel like I&#8217;m in a sort of dreamy slow state..   it&#8217;s kind of weird.   I find my self  staring at things or listening to things with different eyes and ears.. Like things felt the months after Sam died.
