Deep Sleep

Good Morning!  To ensure a good nights sleep I doubled up on my sleeping meds last night.  Gator happened to be out of my room at the time I was going to bed so for extra good measure I closed the door and turned the white noise machine up to high.  It wasn’t log after my head hit the pillow that I was out like a light.  I woke up at 6a and was freezing and of course needed to use the restroom.  Reluctantly I got out of bed for a trip to the bathroom.  Gator was waiting for me.  She managed to get up off the couch a little rough and moved her bed so she was relegated to the floor.  Of course she was noisy and wanting food.  After taking care of my self, I went to fix her bed and then opened her breakfast  I got that in front of her and she seemed happy.  I was ready to get that last hour of sleep that I so needed.  This is one of the few times that I rely on an alarm clock and if not then I have no idea when I would have woken up.  However, it went off promptly at 7a and I of course didn’t want to get out of bed.  I really wish that I slept this well every night or even some what close to it.  I think that I would have a lot less complaints with my body and the world as a whole. 

This time Gator was all nestled asleep in her bed.  I of course had to use the restroom again.  It’s times like this that I wonder where does all of that fluid come from considering that I didn’t drink anything when I was up an hour ago.  You’d think that my bladder would be empty. 

I made my way to the kitchen and everything was all quiet until shortly after I turned on the TV to listen to the news.  That is when the monster woke up from her sleep.  She started crying but I managed to get her to stop.  I was able to finish my so called breakfast (a couple bowls of cereal & a banana) and then shuffle off to the bathroom.  Take my meds and then get dressed.  When I was done with that I went back to hand feed Gator her left overs from breakfast.  It just so happened to be duck and she was crazy about it.  She gobbled up a good portion of what was left.  Then I grabbed my water bottle and phone and shuffled off to the basement. 

Logged on to the work computer and got logged into all of the systems I am going to need.  Went through my morning tasks what I remembered to do.  Then just realized what I forgot and went through that quickly.  I am so ready to climb back into bed.  That’s the problem with a double dose it makes me just want to sleep for hours and hours and hours.  I wake up with what I am told is the hang over affect and it’s difficult to get moving. 

My hope is that breakfast will kick in soon and wake me up.  If not I may just fall back asleep.  According to my work calendar I am essentially done for the day except for lunch that is until some problem crops up and I need to deal with it.  If it’s all quiet all day long (that’s too good to be true on a Monday) then I really will be done.  I need to stay awake or at least alert so if anything fires off I can deal with it.  Otherwise I would be back asleep.  It’s no comfort to me now but next Monday at this hour I will be sleeping and not have to worry about work. 

I have scheduled my 3rd COVID booster for Saturday.  I plan to do that and then go for pizza so long as my blood sugar allows.  It’s an afternoon appointment.  I chose Saturday because I will probably be out of commission on Sunday if this has the same affect the other shots had and that way I can hit up the grocery store on Monday or so I hope.  I may just try to incorporate shopping into my Saturday routine to be safe. 

That is really all I have at the moment.  Hoping for a quiet week that is BS free but I know that is asking for a lot since my boss is still around.  Maybe with any luck we will hear about pay raises but I don’t anticipate that to happen until mid to late July. 

Wishing you all the best for the week ahead.  May it be fast moving and the weekend be extra slow.  Take care, stay hydrated and cool.
