Yesterday was a tough day.
I was so busy I forgot to eat lunch and realized it when I got a headache. That hunger headache evolved into a migraine, so I went to bed early to sleep it off.
Because I went to bed so early, I woke up early . . . at 3:00 in the morning.
I got up and read a few emails.
Yes, that's one of the first things I do when I wake up.
Yes. I know that's strange, but I'm Ok with that.
I fell asleep again, only to be awaken by my alarm going off at its usual time - 5:00. I got up and turned it off, but fell asleep again, waking up this time at 6:30.
I get to school at 6:30, so this was going to be a late one.
I arrived at school at about 7:45. I refused to rush at home getting ready or on the road driving. I decided that I would get there when I got there.
Of course, being late is an extremely rare occurrence for me, so I wasn't overtaken with that Catholic guilt.
Thankfully, I made it through the day and left at a decent hour.
Today begins the weekend.
Side note - I'm still observing teachers and have completed 49 of the 75 I have to do. I'm averaging at least five a day. Truthfully, the visits are starting to blend together. I liken it to buying a wedding dress. They all start to look alike after a while. For those teachers that I'm seeing for the first time, they want me to see everything that they do or have done, all year. As a result, the scheduled half hour visits are lasting longer than expected for many of them.
True confessions -
I'm not fond of the workweek starting on Sunday. That is, until we get to Wednesday. Then I start to like it a lot, knowing that Thursday at 2:00pm begins the weekend.
Moving on -
Very recently, I was grocery shopping at the store with the best fruits and vegetables, when I saw a ready-made garden salad. It's rare to find them. It looked good, so I bought it, along with some dressing.
True confessions 2 -
I can't remember the last time I had a salad.
I don't know if it was because it had been forever since I'd eaten one, but this one was mouthwateringly delicious. I went back to the store today and bought three more.
True confessions 3 -
I'm still working on doing things in moderation. When I like something, I tend to eat it, use it, etc., for months. Then when I can't stand to see it again, I move on to something else.
For example -
I ate fried rice for lunch and dinner for six months during my last year or so in Sacramento. When I was feeling sluggish for weeks, I went to the doctor for a checkup, and discovered I was seriously anemic. He asked what I'd been eating, and when I mentioned my rice diet, he strongly suggested that I add some variety.
I try, but old habits are tough to break.
Moving on . . . again -
It's almost 11:00 at night. Where did the time go?
My plans for tomorrow is to do what I always do on Fridays . . . sleep in and wear my pj's all day.
What about you?
Whatever it is, have fun.
Life is too short for anything else.
