Good Sleep

Morning

Hope your having a great day.  Mine started early this morning when I woke up at 1a.  I had no reason to be up but my body said it’s time to wake up.  It was another insomnia attack.  I’ve really been taking the death of my so called step-son pretty hard.  I think mostly because were so close in age.  Then there is me still mulling over if I want to tell his kid about his grandfather.  I honestly kind of wish I never googled but I’m curious by nature and that has caused me some pain more than once in my lifetime. 

In any event I was up until 3a and then decided to head back to sleep.  As I turned the TV off I heard rain falling outside, which was kind of a surprise.  Powered on my white noise machine.  Rudy and Mora changed places in bed and I got to snuggle with Mora for a short period of time before she left, I was no where near falling asleep. 

It’s oppressively hot and humid here.  I woke up to hear and feel the AC running this morning at 6:30a, which is still early for me to rise.  However Rudy & my bladder have this knack for waking me up early.  Felt really good sitting at the table eating and feeling the cool air. 

It’s really nice in the basement usually it’s 70 down here but right now it’s 72.  Still feels pretty good.  More rain is on the way and heavy winds are forecast for most of the afternoon.  Just hope the trash can doesn’t blow away. 

I’m anticipating a call from the boss either today or tomorrow to let me know about my pay raise.  It won’t be in effect until the 1st of July but it’s nice to know that it’s coming. 

Had a lengthy conversation yesterday with the new guy.  Lots of pauses and delays in the conversation like it’s tough to get off the phone with him.  It took me two separate times of trying to end the conversation before he finally gave in and we hung up.  Jeez just imagine if we were in person he strikes me as one of those people that just goes on forever and ever.  Thankfully were far apart so the chances of us meeting in person are slim to none.  I’m okay with that.

I have been pushed to work with him more.  I kind of feel like he said that he hasn’t worked with me much and that has resulted in some emails with tasks being delegated to me asking me to work with the new guy to make sure he knows.  I hate those kinds of emails but I always do what is asked of me and always will, unless it’s illegal or morally wrong. 

Looking forward to what I hope is a relaxing weekend.  I don’t have anywhere to be on Saturday and really no reason other than getting something to eat and grabbing the mail to leave.  I plan to rot at the moment.  It sounds like the best and if my insomnia keeps flaring up I will certainly welcome rotting.  I’d just like to go back to sleeping through the night and waking up refreshed and relaxed, kind of like when I was a kid.  Those times have been few and far between but they sure to feel awesome when they happen. 

Back to the fun I suppose.  Stay cool and take care!
