A good night's sleep

Last night I went to sleep at 8:30pm.  I was completely wiped out.  I was tired from the tress of work, the stress of personal relationships, and the effort of holding myself together.  I slept 11 hours last night.  I slept the deep sleep of the weary.  I vaguely remember getting a text at 1:00am and having a text conversation but I thought it was a dream.  It wasn't.  I probably shouldn't text while sleeping.  Luckily I didn't say anything ridiculous. 

It is amazing how much better a person can feel after a really good night's sleep.  I feel more alert, focused, aware, energetic, and positive than I have in days.  I have to start rebuilding a more routine sleep pattern. 

I am very, very thankful for a night of restful and deep sleep. 

Sleeping in...

Today I woke up at 10:45am.  I slept for a little bit less than 12 hours.  It was incredible.

Agenda for the day:

1. Shower Check! 
2. Walk up to town Check!
3. Grab something to eat Had sushi for lunch @ Yama.  Absolutely delicious.
4. Get quarters from the bank for laundry  (well, bank closes at noon and I was slow moving)
5. Return library books Hunt for library books - found 2 but can't find the third
6. Christmas shopping (any last minute doo-higgies)  Check! basically all done with shopping
7. Mid-afternoon glass of wine Check! Was hoping to meet up with the BFF but didn't happen.  
8. Walk home Duh!
9. Clean Not even close.  LOL
10. Wrap presents I wrapped the immediate presents
11. Dinner with good friends Yes!  Food, friends & board games - good time.
12. SLEEP! Give it a minute....Watching Friends now...

Good day.  Nothing extraordinary.  Life is good.

Sleep

Today I woke up at 10:45am.

That frankly is enough to be joyful about.  The boss-man ordered me not to come into the office until noon.  I had every intention of defying his orders and being there well before noon.  He tries to get me to rest and work less but I don't always take instruction well and I am a bit of a workaholic.

My body though knew better and didn't wake me up at the usual time it let me sleep and now, unless he reads this entry, he will think that I paid attention and didn't come to work until noon.
