No silver bullet

If it bleeds we can kill it...or so said Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie Predator.

But what if it doesn't bleed...how then do we kill it?

I've been flat out like a lizard drinking for about six months now, my work is demanding, and while I've had time off now and then I've struggled to switch off and find a good sense of inner peace; when I manage to have time away from work I've never really detached meaning I've not found a true sense of rest...I'm afflicted with a brain that doesn't really like shutting off I guess.

So stress and a sense of unrest...it doesn't bleed so I can't Arnold Schwarzenegger it, and there's no silver bullet to kill it either.

I was thinking about it last night and figured, in place of a silver sleep-killing bullet I'd plan nothing and sleep as much as I can this weekend - sleep is restorative after all. So I guess I planned after all, planned to sleep. It's been working well so far...although I write this post and wasn't asleep when I did. I also went out for breakfast and wasn't asleep at that point either. Oh, I also got up at 5am and went for a bike ride and wasn't even a little bit asleep during that either.

Ok, so my plan isn't working so well...but it's Saturday mid-afternoon right now and I'm thinking I'll go and have a snooze in my hammock...and I'll be asleep during that for sure.
