The person formerly known as Chantelle.

The person formerly known as Chantelle… has returned.
I feel like my old self. I have two good-ish nights of sleep under my belt, and I feel almost normal.
I was saying to my Ma yesterday that I didn’t realise how bad sleep deprivation actually affected me. Lately my brain has felt so sluggish. My whole being has felt like that. It’s harder to make decisions. It’s harder to focus. It’s hard to even think. I feel slow.
But now… I feel light. I feel focused. I feel sharp. I feel happy.
See what the sky looks like outside today? That’s how I feel. Sunny, bright, happy.
I have my sense of humour back. We spent the weekend laughing so much we nearly collapsed in a heap. We had tears rolling down our faces. It was the best weekend. The best.
More on it all tomorrow. I just had to come in and share this feeling, because tomorrow it all might be lost and all just a faded memory as I return to Mama night duty.
For now though… bliss. xx

  1. Now you know why they use sleep deprivation as a form of torture in some countries!

    I’m looking forward to sleeping again – unloading 2 kids isn’t as easy anymore though.
