I’ve decided that as long as I can stay mostly awake when I get home from work I have a good chance of actually getting to sleep that night. Last night I learned this. It was about 6:30 pm and I thought oh I can just take a little nap and wake up at like 7:30… my alarm goes off at 7:30 like I meant it to. But I don’t get up, I’m too tired and it’s too warm under the covers. So I just rolled over and thought I’ll wake up in like another 30 minutes… and guess what. Didn’t wake up until 9:30. I hate napping. I mean I love napping but I hate it. It’s awful it sucks up so much of your time but it’s so good. So when it was time to go to sleep I couldn’t, I just wasn’t tired. So I got up out of bed and surfed the net for a while. Washed my face and tried again. Ugh I also hate not being able to get to sleep. So today I’m making sure to not fall asleep in front of the TV, and also go working out should help.
Today I got my rain boots in the mail!!! Yay! They fit perfectly and I can’t wait to model them and show them off. They’re so cute.
So I wrote the above at around 6:30 pm and now I’m writing and it’s 11:30 pm. So let’s catch up-
I went to work out. And I saw the cutest old woman there. she had her hair coiffed in the typical old lady fashion. Her hair was all white. She was wearing I think- stockings under her exercise pants and then her puma shoes. And I only saw her while she was leaving so she was wearing her winter jacket which all I remember about had some kind of fur (faux I’m sure) around the collar. She just cracked me up and made me happy. Which is good considering there was an older man there who was probably in his 60’s but was trying to be a convincing mid 50 year-old. His beard and hair were dyed and I thought he was going to die on the stair stepper. He kept having to stop and breath and I was seriously considering: “What do I do if he collapses off that machine?” Anyways, always good to get the blood flowing.
Then I showered which is the highlight of my day pretty much. It’s when I can transform from sweaty, stinky to clean and fresh. Oh it’s so good and I even shaved my legs- they were getting a little Sara Laurino-y.
Also another thing I thought about is that tomorrow, Valentine’s Day, is the birthday of three people I know. And I can’t help but think how much it would suck to have your birthday on a holiday. Not that Valentine’s Day is a serious holiday but something people celebrate nonetheless. My good friend Jeff, for instance, his birthday is on Halloween. Which would get old I imagine. But Jeff seems to manage just fine. And I seem to recall a cousin of mine has a birthday on Christmas Eve. Ick. Thank god for those holidays that changes which the calendar. Like the third Thursday of whatever. You know what I mean.
I talked to my mom today. She said that she likes talking to me often because it makes it seem like I’m not that far away. Awww, I love my mommy. I miss all my family so much sometimes. And I think they miss me too, even Gene. I wish he could have come up here and visit more. But he’s some a homey type. He doesn’t like straying from too familiar settings. Reminds me my mom said that her and my dad were thinking about just going on a trip across seas sometime soon during the spring I think. Either Rome or Paris she said. And I was so excited. I can’t wait for them to go and just have fun running around a beautiful ancient city. Maybe sometime they’ll take me with them. I hope my passport is still good.
