Awfully tired and sleepy

As usual, sleep still hasn't been ideal. Fell asleep around 2:30am, and waking up around 8am. But, I believe I woke up briefly somewhere in between, before the sun came up. I remember looking towards my curtains and didn't see a streak of light yet. My brother left for the office before 8am, he know has to go into the office twice a week. He usually chooses Wednesday and Friday, or Thursday and Friday. Since he's not in the house, I get it to myself for the day.

I had planned to continue repainting the grout on one of our floor area. I took my time though, I had to move a lot of things off the floor first. So, I did it in small intervals. I would move like 5 items, then walk back to the kitchen area and listen to a song, or play a game on my phone, or watch a short clip of YouTube. Then, go back and move another 5 items, and so on. After removing everything, I vacuumed the area, and used a swiffer pad remove the dust. My brother had bought some pens that is used to paint the grouts in between tiled floors. I had painted 2 other surfaces in the past couple weekends. The 2 pens that I used then, the brush tip on the end no longer can be used, as it's tucked in. Knowing that there's still a lot of paint within the pens, I used a C-wrench to take the pen apart. I poured the remaining paint in a small container, used a toothpick to push out the tip. Wore a glove and held the tip to paint the grouts. Dip the tip into the paint, and used brush strokes on the grout. So, that took a LONG time to finish. One part of the floor was in a closet. I only removed things that were directly placed on the floor. So, I had to almost lie on the floor to do the floor. There were coats hanging down, and there was a hanged, cloth-type cubicle storage hanging down, that left just enough space for me to tuck my head underneath it. Another thing is, because it's dark, I had to place a flashlight in the corner to light up the space. I wasn't aware of how long it took me, but by the time I finished it was past 4pm.

The entire time, I was playing music through my phone. When I finished and checked my phone for messages. Turns out my brother sent me something around 3:30pm, saying he's in the mall down the hill (his office is about an hour drive away). I figured he'll be back shortly, but didn't come home until almost 5pm. I made dinner for myself around 6-6:30pm. It is now almost 9pm, and I'm awfully tired and sleepy. I was literally almost falling asleep as I ate too. I told my brother I'll move everything back tomorrow, way too tired and sleepy at the moment. My eyes are closing, so, let's hope I'll sleep better tonight!~

It sounds like you've had a productive yet tiring day. I understand feeling exhausted after focusing on a tedious task for several hours. Moving furniture and repainting floors can be physically and mentally draining. Please take time to rest and restore yourself. Sleep is so important for our well-being. I hope you are able to get the rest you need tonight.

Keep taking small steps, Jae. We all believe in you and here with you. <3
