Oh.My.
I am in heaven and would like to go back and recreate last night again. And again. And again. Our new bed arrived on Saturday. Poor Travis only got to sleep in it half a night as he left in the wee hours of the morning Sunday, so last night was my first *real* night in it.
I really see no need to ever leave the house again. Or get out of my pajamas.
I don't remember the last time I got a good nights sleep. Actually, it was probably at T's parents house where there is another very nice bed. But ours is an even better bed, and it was hugely worth it. I shut the door. Beam slept in T's spot. And I slept for 8 solid hours. Sheesh, puppies didn't even get up until 7:02 am, immediately after my alarm went off. We upgraded and got the high end pillows too, and oh my. I wasn't convinced if this was it on Saturday night or even when I woke up this morning, but 30 minutes after waking up, I feel more refreshed than I could ever believe possible. I *never* in my wildest dreams could've believed that a bed could make that big of a difference, but I promise you, I will never, ever underestimate it again.
Cause you know what, much of everything going on with T and I individually and together, is hugely impacted by our lack of sleep. Our health, our moods, our reactions. How can you make good {ahem, and rational} decisions when you are going on years of interrupted and bad sleep?
Did you know turning over a lot in your sleep is a sign of a bad bed? Let's just say I don't think Beam nor I moved one bit last night. Pure Heaven.
And with that kind of start to the day, I am ready to hit it running. Feeling this rested I only *need* ONE cup of coffee, not two, Yay! Puppies are going to get their eyes cerf'd, T and I are rearranging the entire house so we have a REAL guest bedroom (YAY!) so I am trying to make big progress on that before he gets back, and of course, I really need to work work work.
I love my aussies.
I want to make this video with Yankee x Quinn puppies.
I see me dedicating my life to this.
That is good.
Click to viewAND ending on one of my favorite TED talks on happiness. It's wonderful. [He's talking about presentations at public schools ... one each night of the week ... "and Friday night we're trying to decide between risky sex and happiness. I said that's most people's Friday's nights." Hahahhahahahah!! Great presenter.
