(no subject)
Feel like today was kind of a "lost day" in a way. Got up and took the youngest to school at the crack of doomdawn as usual, came home and drank coffee and read and fiddled with The Thesis a bit. SB finally got up and we had breakfast and I was thinking about going to the office to work some more when the weather that the radio said wasn't going to come in came in. Just a little rain, but until the new shroud gets here, we couldn't really leave until we were sure the rain was over in case it decided to start pouring in through the AC again.
Fortunately it didn't. Apparently it's only the really sideways rain that gets in, but it finally cleared off just in time for me to not really meet with my advisor, but to get the youngest from school and feed her something (and get a little nap in because she wasn't feeling well) before her two-hour meeting with the driving instructor. The SB and I took the opportunity to eat a little something ourselves (and maybe indulge in sharing one of the enormous frozen margaritas they have at the new Mexican place on the strip) and then I got in a little practice.
Now home again and really trying to experiment with getting to bed earlier. I'm trying to convince the part of my brain that really hates going to bed that sleep is necessary for health and happiness, but it's hard to get through. This is the part of my brain that doesn't care if I've been exhausted and dragging all day and just dreaming about bed time. Night time rolls around and that part wants to partay!! I've finally taken to just mugging it and forcing all the parts into the bed to lie down. I'm usually so tired that I'm flat asleep pretty soon after getting horizontal, so we'll see how well this new approach works.
