the first trip is for work, but should hopefully still be fun (after i've given my presentation). am off this weekend, then back the next, then away again the next week.
just had the pleasure of a kind and sensible doctor. was in 2 minds about going in after debating for a week whether to ask for some sleeping pills given i have a legitimate reason to be anxious atm, then come the day, had actually slept well. she was totally fine about giving me some, told me not to feel so negatively about myself for being anxious about something genuinely shitscary, and gave me some extra cos her view is if you're prone to insomnia, having a few zopiclones about the place can poss prevent getting back into the huge self perpetuating cycles of insomnia i get into.
