Another Monday


I figured today would be a good time to update.  My job is going well, I am still really happy with it.  The waking up part is still very difficult for me, hopefully after a few months it will be easier.  *crosses fingers*  I have to admit that I am not doing so well with the elevator thing… I am really tired when I get in and 4 flights of stairs is really daunting.  I realize that is an excuse… but hey, I have been on time every day for 2 weeks, so I have got to pick my battles and appreciate the victories I have.  In less than a week, I will be 33.  I have not decided how I feel about that yet, aside from the whole double 3 thing being sorta cool when combined with the 3/3 date of my birthday.

Anywho…

Day Two


I am tired, but am looking forward to the day.  I hope that I can get enough caffeine in my system to help keep me going today.  I am starting to anticipate a really long week.  I can definitely see the benefits of arriving at work 2 hours early, however this schedule will take a lot of getting used to.  Yesterday, I woke up at 4:45 AM and did not get to sleep until about 10:45 PM.  I have been taking melatonin for two weeks now to help regulate my sleep cycle into an earlier schedule.  I do think it is helping, but I imagine that a week or two on this schedule will ultimately be what forces my body to accept the new schedule.

I am keeping my word with myself so far that I will take the stairs.  I do not think that my arrival at work yesterday counts against this commitment though.  One must know Where the stairs are in order to make use of them.  Now that I know where they are, I cannot use that excuse.

Strange Sounds can result in fun


So, one day I am playing with the dog and I hear this strange sound coming from upstairs.  The sound persists and eventually I am forced to investigate.  I ask Joe what he was doing, and he is evasive (like I shouldn’t have seen that coming).

Eventually, though, he gives in and presents me with this:

Isn’t it cute?

A new book


I’ve started a new book on Wicca today, so far I like it.  I should be buying it soon along with its brothers and sisters.  So, to make my reading more active, I believe I will be posting my thoughts about the book as I go.

Snooze


I’ve come to the conclusion that it will take hardcore discipline or some more time to adjust to my new time to wake up before I can expect results in my endeavor to stop using my snooze button. Today was the only day in the last three days that I did not oversleep… And I did use snooze. Tuesday had me sleeping through the alarm and since snooze was disabled, there was no second alarm. On Wednesday I was contemplating waking up and fell asleep while doing so. So, this morning, while I did use the snooze, I did not have to be woken ip by my husband. I will consider that to be minor progress.
