Got very little sleep last night. Hard to get comfortable in an unfamiliar place. I'm house and pet sitting for the weekend. My family friends have lived here for over twenty years but I haven’t spent much time here in a while and certainly haven’t stayed over the night since I was probably high school aged. The puppy didn’t make a peep overnight, but whimpering early so we’ve gone out to potty and played some and ate breakfast before going back into the kennel.
I spent the rest of the morning exhausted but knowing I shouldn't go back to sleep, just vegging on the couch fighting back the tears because even during my short slumber I had disturbing dreams magnifying my biggest fears, pains, and anxieties. I have been a life long sufferer of insomnia and nightmares, but I have never felt this heartsick and hopeless before. I can’t cling onto any other feelings for more than a fleeting moment.
Afternoon brought me some possibly good news, as it looks like I have secured temporary employment working as a set dresser for an independent film. Still waiting on details such as pay rate and length, but I need the work so there’s no way I’ll turn it down. Will get to work with at least one friend I know for sure, probably others if they are hiring local crew. Been quite a while since I worked on a film set. Hope it works out for the best and isn’t just another missed opportunity.
