Last night was absolutely horrible. Started to go to sleep in my recliner, as usual, and I couldn't get comfortable. To make matters worse, the boys couldn't decide which one of them was going to sleep in my lap, so BOTH of them got up. Needless to say 70 combined pounds of dog in your lap when you're trying to keep them from squishing an arm is not too comfortable. I lay there about two hours thinking I would get tired enough to go to sleep, but no such luck. So I got up and ran to the bedroom and jumped into bed and tried to get myself arranged before the boys came in and took over the bed. I haven't been able to sleep in the bed yet, because I can only sleep on my back with a crazy assortment of towels and pillows to support my shoulder. But I was willing to try it last night, because I was TIRED! Naturally the boys moved in and leeched themselves to either side of me so I was truely trapped. I finally did sleep a couple of hours, but I had terrible dreams of going back to work and not knowing anything, and having to squeeze through tight holes to get to places. I gave up and went back to the chair around 5 am after letting the boys out, thinking that they might settle down and let me sleep late. No such luck. My neighbor came and got them about 8 so they could play in her back yard while she is at church. I decided to try the bed again without them just to see if I could sleep. No luck, and now my arm is REALLY sore.
So now I'm sleep deprived and bummed.
Thought I might try to go see that movie Shuttle in Austin, if I can find a friend to drive me down. Not crazy about the midnight premeire, but if I could get in for $10 and ESPECIALLY if Tony were there for the premiere it would be well worth it. But I can't find the information on that website now. Whahh!! Maybe I'm just too tired to be looking right.
Gonna try to start back to work tomorrow. My surgeon wasn't going to let me for another couple of weeks, but my doc here convinced him to let me try (bless his heart!) So tomorrow I'm going to start working 4 hours a day, desk duty only, and NO contact with animals. Then I will have my medieval torture sessions in the afternoons. Sounds like a plan, huh? Yay!
Last night was my last chance to go see the local production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" that I should have been in. I couldn't decide if I wanted to go or not. I wanted to support my friends, and they wanted me there-- but I wasn't sure I wanted to see someone else in "my" role. In the end, it was cold and rainy out and I used that as an excuse not to go. Now I feel guilty...
