Some Hope

I haven't been sleeping well for the past few nights. I've been getting to sleep without any problems but I've been waking up intermittently. I know that I have to get up and try and find a job so this means that I do wake up I think about getting up rather than going back to sleep because I'm tired. I strained my back muscles lifting weights the other day which possibly causes me pain and wakes me.
This really got to me today and I've felt depressed all day. I didn't look for any jobs because I didn't feel up to the task. It was in direct contrast to the enjoyment I'd had on Monday and Tuesday. In an attempt to remove myself from this slump I decided to address the mess in my flat. I'm not naturally a tidy person so the mess that was is in no way an externalisation of the way I've been feeling - it was a mess on Monday. But I also know that when I'm sitting around with things everywhere I find it hard to concentrate and thought the activity would distract me.
It didn't bring about a fundamental change but just when I was finishing I got an email saying that my CV had past the first stage of a screening process and they wanted further info. This brought brief respite and I'm going to fill in my response tomorrow. It feels good to get some kind of response but right now I feel like I could do with a good night's sleep. I've changed my sheets, which usually helps and won't have my laptop in my bedroom overnight.
Additionally, I just spent the past two hours writing a blog about my favourite albums but it's nowhere near finished.

I hope tomorrow is a better day.
