📅 Daily Check-in - April 15, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Well, interesting bedtime last night. I've been working hard on my sleep hygiene and was pretty happy that I did not listen to any news, that I read some very light fiction, that I, you know, was off of, that I had that full hour to decompress and get ready for bed. Now, I've added the sleep mask, so I was pretty psyched for my sleep and pretty smug.... And then, don't you know it, but I couldn't sleep. And I was so pissed. And that's the funny part of this, because I realized, like, you know, for years, if I can't sleep, I don't care, I'll read till, you know, stupid o'clock and change the alarm and get up whenever I get up. But I've been trying so hard with this, and I know that we're all work in process, and just because I've been doing this for, you know, three weeks or whatever, it doesn't mean it's going to be a done deal. But I am amused at just how angry I was. So I ended up taking a Klonopin, an anti-anxiety pill, and recognizing this as a spiral did my 3;00 thing and then went to sleep. And then, of course, I have the letdown and all of those moods today because of that. But it's new and really good for me to recognize an emotion. I was working out with Sage that most of the time, all I feel is hunger, and I didn't used to even bother to try to identify what made me hungry. And now, you know, I can kind of distinguish in a way what the emotion is and do my, you know, three-minute undo thing. But so, you know, as pissed as I was, I know that that's an improvement. Anyway, that's about it.

Hey! Ok. So. I had started a whole journey a few years ago to do voice over. Spent a lot of time and money. Felt crushed by my family treating it like a JOKE. It was a struggle because, well you get it! I was studying with Edge Studio in NYC, remotely, and I bought a demo package. So Hurricane Helene hit the very day I was to record my demo in Asheville (directed from NYC.) The hurricane was huge. Knocked me way off kilter. I spent 2025 busy doing plays and walking dogs but couldn’t get my head back into VO or my Etsy shop. Shame, sadness, feeling a fraud and a confused loser. But… Sage just helped me help myself and I have sent the email. You know the one. The one I was not sending, and might have told people I did send but I didn’t😖. I did! ‘Tis done. Alia jacta est. C’est parti! That is one of my rocks.
