4:59 AM
My morning started @ 4:30 am instead of 5:00 as I was woken up by my husband’s snoring. I’m tired, this makes day number 2 of not enough sleep… I guess I should have gone to bed even earlier. I hope my day doesn’t end with me as exhausted as yesterday.
Off I go to greet our 3 cats & our 8 month old puppy. Hopefully she isn’t raring to go & chase the cats. That’s a never ending battle! She just wants to play with them but doesn’t know how to modulate her play & she’s 60+ pounds.
All animals are cared for & time for me to stretch before I climb onto the treadmill to walk my 3 miles. I watched some of the first episode of the British series of Sherlock Homes on Netflix.
Jumped into the shower & got ready. Did my usual thinking while taking my shower. Looking forward to having dinner with my step-daughter & her boyfriend. Woke my husband up to kiss him goodbye & off to work in the crisp morning (in a nice toasty vehicle). It only took me 5 minutes to drive to work as I bypassed the construction on Tillotson. At work by 7:25 & ready to tackle the e-mails in my in box.
While sitting @ my desk I sync my Alta HR- see how much sleep I actually got. Not as bad as I thought but several times throughout the night I was awake.
So much @ my desk to tackle. I decide (as always) I just have to dive in somewhere. I better go get some more water first. I did see one of my colleagues in the break room while I was getting more water. We were checking in on where we are in watching the show Stranger Things (our whole dept. watches it). We are both about mid-way through season 2. Neither one of us wants to discuss details so as not to spoil anything for the other.
Well, things at work haven’t gone the way I planned. Our whole department is on “alert” & assisting with a situation that has to be handled delicately. Flexibility & thinking on your feet is the name of the game today!
I survived, luckily I have meal replacement bars in my desk since I had to work through lunch. I was able to send txts to my husband to let him know what was going on & that I wouldn’t be home for lunch. What a fun day @ work!
Finally at home after a long day. Time to say hi to the puppy & let her out & play for a while before my husband comes home from running errands.
My step daughter & boyfriend come in & make our puppy’s day because she loves them & hasn’t seen them for quite some time… in dog time-FOREVER! We all chat for a while & do some catching up before we drive separately to BW3 for dinner & some drinks. They both seem to be doing well & my husband is obviously thrilled to see his daughter.
It’s time to put this day to rest, it’s after 9:30 & time for me to go to bed because 5:00 am will roll back around real quickly & time to start it all over again.
