That's hilarious, sometimes autocorrect makes things better. But not my lurgy.

So if I wake up in the middle of the night I have to do the math depending on which way I’m facing which is difficult when groggy.

I thought you had retired? Sorry you're feeling ill.

I had my first day off sick in 20 years last week. Bad, bad cold, but in previous years I still would have gone in. My immediate (German staff) colleague talked about how it would be bad juju for his young family if he got sick from work colleagues, so I figured, what the hell, I can afford a day off so I did. Felt so wrong though. Illness is not a good enough excuse to prevent a day's billing....

Have you had a sleep study done for sleep apnoea?

Could be situational as well. I don't particularly enjoy living where we are

Yes and was told I didn't have sleep apnea.

After reading a bit most likely due to depression and or anxiety or a combination of both.

Could be situational as well. I don't particularly enjoy living where we are and feel there is no future due to the cost of housing in BC.

I guess sleep is the best way to escape it all.

The area, the apartment or something else? I thought that the higher rent you've mentioned where you are know would be quite an improvement. :unsure:

Mostly from there being no long term future in Vancouver/Fraser Valley area due to high cost of housing and lack of income to match cost of housing.

Prospect of renting for life isn't doing me any favors, renting leads to no stability and no stability leads to stress.

Lack of places in BC that offer both affordable housing, and employment opportunities that are not min wage.



My company doesn't have any locations in Alberta, so would have to find a job prior to moving, but moving isn't an option at the moment as we lack any funds to do so, moving provinces is costly..

We also have a slightly complicated situation due to provincial disability which doesn't move provinces.
