So I woke up at 6 am. I actually had given myself permission in my schedule to sleep in till 6:30--but the alarm went off at 6 am and I didn't have my usual desire to go to sleep. So I got up and went on a Sunday walk (different than a normal morning walk---more focused on enjoying beauty, slow, and not that this has become a thing yet--but definitely no pokemon go.) I also told myself that if I stayed up at 6 am, then I would give myself permission to take a nap this morning.
So I did good "up and awake" type things--including reading my scriptures in ASL. As I "read" in ASL and found myself falling asleep. A 12 minute bit took me 25 minutes to read--and not because of profound meditation or lack of understanding. I kept falling asleep. Sad day. So I went to take my nap after that. Said I would wake up at 10--nope. Next thing I know, I"m waking up--I look at my watch--it's 3:55 pm. I have missed church! I can't even make it for the last hour in the local ward. maybe my watch is wrong--I cross check it with my phone clock and desk clock--nope. By now it's past 4--I have completely missed church due to a nap. I start feeling really bad (maybe I needed the sleep?) but then.....
....ta da!!! I really wake up. It's 11:00 pm. I would feel bad for over sleeping, but I can still make it to 1:00 church. Hurahh! And I have lovely texts from Leif (not his real name btw) and I already have a lunch made for myself. So life is good!! Yay!
Oh--but look at the time. Till till 12. Let's go! Time to make the hour drive to church. Yay!
