My insomnia has been pretty bad recently. Had food poisoning while back in Colorado for X-mas, and weirdly that almost helped because I was so sick I spent a lot of time sleeping, plus my family was kind enough to leave me alone and let me recover. If I had been well but sleep deprived I wouldn't have had so much time to nap and such.
It has been slow recovering, been about a week and I'm eating normally again but my stomach is still touchy. Not the worst food poisoning I've ever had but a solid, respectable second.
We've got a shift now at work where I'll be working less from home and more from the office for a while, but the timing sucks. Went home at only 5pm tonight because I wasn't sure I'd be safe to drive if I waited a lot longer, but despite being dead tired I can't sleep.
At some point soon I'm just going to have to finally get to sleep and ride it as long as I possibly can, maybe Saturday.
I see signs of myself recovering from the state I was in at Microsoft, though. Spent New Years Day cleaning up my home office for the first time in many years, worked on organizing our finances, I'm becoming interested in investing again for the first time in a while, and my urge to play computer games as my default idle activity is dropping a lot.
It is amazing the clarity into a situation you get once you're removed from it for a while, I knew I wasn't terribly happy while I was there but I just had no idea how bad of shape I was in.
