Sleepy head, 04.15.08

Last night was one of my toughest nights ever in getting to bed.

I did my usual routine of brushing, flossing, etc, and actually getting into bed. With just 10 minutes of lying there with my eyes wide open, I knew for sure that I was restless.

I got up and went outside into the living room lugging my backpack, while heading towards the computer, in the hopes of maybe using this “spare” time to get a bit more organized.

I’ve read in many health magazines and internet sites that when you can’t sleep due to stress try jotting down your plans for the next day. I don’t think I was stressed, but it was worth a try. Anything to help me sleep!

2 hours of reading, organizing, and answering forgotten blog comments later, I was finally ready for bed.

Waking up this morning was really hard, but I did it.

My plans for today:

• Eat breakfast (I know I’m a weirdo, I have to remind myself to eat)
• Make cookies for Long’s Students (someone’s having a birthday)
• Drop the cookies off
• Run some errands (this will take me hours):
  • bank, go to Kaiser, get finger printed
• Pick up Long from work
• go to the gym or walk the lake.

So far, I messed up the cookies. haha. My lack of sleep is getting to me already. I’ll just have to drop by the store to get something for them. Bummer, I was looking forward to eating some cookies myself. Oh well, no point in stressing over that.

Here’s what I ate for breakfast:

A huge bowl of Kashi’s Autumn Wheat breakfast cereal with a huge banana.

A small bowl of fresh strawberries

Flowers Long bought me last night.
