Behind
These past couple of months I've been perpetually behind in everything - reconciling the bank accounts, cleaning the house, exercising, journaling. I've been behind in my days, my todo lists seemed very reasonable but time slipped away before I could get half done. Things took twice as long as I thought they should. Extra errands seemed to manifest unexpectedly. My sleep was erratic as was my sleepiness, the two did not correlate and taking my "waking" pills didn't seem to make a difference either way.
Chalain is working eastern hours because his current client is in Tennessee. We get up at 4:45 MDT (6:45 EDT), have lunch around 9:30-10:00 MDT (11:30-12:00 EDT), dinner about 4:30-5:00 MDT (6:30-7:00 EDT) and try to go to bed between 8:00-8:30 MDT (10:00-10:30 EDT). I'll be so glad when daylight savings ends because it will be lighter outside sooner. Right now the sun doesn't rise until about 7:00 am and sets about 7:30 pm. He's been working with them since July but our extra early schedule started last week so he didn't feel so rushed in the morning. I was already getting up a 5 to feed our pets (our Pebbles cat thinks that if I'm awake enough to roll over after 3 am I should just get up). This has contributed a little to my disorganization but I know there are also emotional and health factors in the mix.
This week has been a little better. I'm slowly getting the accounts in order. The cleaning is still languishing, but I did manage to get most of last weeks laundry folded before laundry day today. I've a couple of days this week. And I'm here writing in my journal. My sleep is still erratic, but I haven't been terribly sleepy. I hope to continue to make head way and maybe someday soon I'll be keeping a good pace instead of dragging behind.
