This week is flowing by even though I\u2019m not working very much. \u00a0I\u2019ve been sleeping lots. I\u2019m getting my usual 7 1\/2 – 8 hours a night and 2 or so hours during the day. \u00a0I need to start bringing myself back to \u2018reality\u2019 again as I\u2019ve lots of pricing and bill making to do. \u00a0I\u2019ve had some time for introspection and although not enough it\u2019s made me realise I need to find a decent balance in life again. \u00a0Debts won\u2019t disappear on their own and plans need to be in place to help clear them. \u00a0I\u2019ve realised I\u2019m getting older. My body has started to give signs of this. \u00a0It\u2019s not always doing what I want it too and I\u2019m some ways it\u2019s good but in others it\u2019s bad. \u00a0It\u2019s sad too in some ways. \u00a0What\u2019s struck me the most is I have no plans for how I\u2019ll survive later in life. \u00a0I can\u2019t keep working so hard within the building trade into older age that\u2019s for sure. \u00a0So I guess I have to firm decent plans ASAP and that May will mean working even harder short term. \u00a0More missing is needed. \u00a0I also think that I made a wise decision by taking some time off. \u00a0It\u2019s helped me not slip down the slippery mental slope again. \u00a0 At least not yet. \u00a0I guess it\u2019s about self care and self awareness. \u00a0Keeping a good track on my own mental state. \u00a0If I can continue to keep things pretty good maybe I\u2019ll see about going meds free in a few more months. \u00a0It\u2019s taken some time to fully settle after dropping the dose. \u00a0I did have a few blips but it seems to of settled back at the level I was at before dropping them a bit. \u00a0 Who knows.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
