I don’t have a lot to write lately. Which is crazy because I should. Because i am busy. Ridiculously busy.
But between reading, taking care of the girls, fitting in early runs, doing some sort of push up routine and not getting nearly as much sleep as I should I feel like I’m not there for updating lately.
It’ll come back. but sleep first.
Edith seems to go back and forth between sleeping through the night and deciding to stay awake for multiple hours a night.
After about 20 minutes between Sam and I, coughing because she has night coughs, I got her up out of our bed and moved to the girls room with her. As soon as we laid down she said “milk,” so I got her some and she passed out sometime in the next hour.
I refuse to acknowledge time passing, but it was around 3am when it was finally quiet and I got back to sleep.
Our cats have discovered if they knock enough stuff down in the bathroom it will force us to get out of bed and entertain them because it will wake Marceline up.
They are either very stupid or geniuses.
Awesome thunderstorms last night and to wake me up this morning.
And I slept great.
Didn’t sleep well at all last night. Thankfully today is a short work day. Unfortunately it is a short work day because I’ll be heading to the dentist this afternoon.
And the new couch proves comfy.
I woke up at 4 am and I struggled to get back to sleep.
I tried my usual trick…. put an episode of Futurama on my phone, turn it over, and fall asleep listening to it. Futurama has been my go to sleeping method for years. Almost never fails me. I’ve gone from falling asleep watching an episode, turn just hearing an episode and falling asleep. Sam struggles to fall asleep to noise or people talking…. I kind of need it. Sam needs dark, I can fall asleep with whatever. So our compromise is that I put Futurama on my my phone, flip the phone over so its dark still, and wear headphone while falling asleep. It’s sounds elaborate typed out, but its not. Sam never really complained about the light or noise, I just know she gets to sleep faster without it.
But while I fell alseep great last night. I woke up at 4 am and couldn’t get back to work with Futurama on my phone. So I tried sleeping trick number two: move locations. I went out to the living room to lay back down and try to fall asleep. It worked. It worked perfectly. Within minutes of laying down I got back to sleep.
I put that on new couch and his amazingness.
Of course I had a weird dream that I woke up at 7:59 and it was still dark outside. It was really vivid too. In my dream my alarms didn’t go off, and I kept checking my phone and it kept saying 7:59. It was dark outside and my alarms had never gone off. In my dream I grabbed Sam’s computer off the coffee table and it too said 7:59 (strange because Sam’s computer is on the coffee table this morning).
I blame that dream on the Scotchy Scotch Scotch I ate last night.
Sam bought me a pint of it and I may have eaten the whole pint in one sitting. It was fantastic and I couldn’t resist.
When I actually did wake up it was 5:36 am, 4 minutes before my alarm. Which still sucks, but at least I won’t be late for work.
