    I feel terrible. I took melatonin last night so I could survive the 6am wakeup. I woke around 2:30 after having some weird dreams, like bumping into people this girl my ex studied with, and she congratulated me for breaking up with him and then basically told me about his new relationship? Lucky for him I guess, it was easy to move on. Then I parked my car at her rental property, which was empty, and she insisted on leaving the car keys outside the car despite having lots of theft in the area. I insisted on holding the keys. My car ended up getting broken into, and half a window was hanging out, but I drove home on some mysterious road that somehow connected to a freeway near my house.

    I couldn’t sleep until 2 hours later. I don’t know how I’m going to survive a real job, but maybe the consistency of waking up early will help. No more melatonin.

      Personally I find melatonin is better for making yourself fall asleep earlier on time, rather than fall asleep when it’s too late. So for example if you want to start falling asleep at 8pm and you don’t feel remotely sleepy that’s when you take the melatonin. Better for correcting sleep phases than actually helping you sleep like a sedative. Bad side effects are feeling like crap in the morning and weird dreams… btw I think your dream could be interpreted quite creatively as an allegory about trust and boundaries.

      As someone who has been notoriously bad at waking up early and never been a morning person I will say that having a regular job that gets you out of the house will eventually help get you used to it. Money is a great motivator.

    So underrated.

    Took apart and (almost, so far) rebuilt a fancy outdoor umbrella. Thing blew over last summer and broke a rib / pulley system.

    Not doing that again that was fucked. Lotta swear words. I jump on the manufacturers website afterwards to find a part for it “We do not recommend attempting to repair this unless you are technically capable and have patience”.

    Shoulda read that part before trying.

    But it’s getting there!

      years ago when I was staying with Miss Seagoon and she was working late shifts I lived on cheese slices, apples , walnuts and the occasional cooked dinner of frozen vegies, tinned tomatoes and chorizo.

      loved them European cheese cheese slices, yum
