I need two of me today. One to sleep.
Last night, I went to bed at a pretty decent time- 11 or so. I was reading, but knew I needed to try and get some sleep. My back hurt, too, so I thought I'd take some Vicodin and kill two birds with one stone. I took them, picked up my book, and figured I'd read until they kicked in. A little after midnight, I turned off my light. A little after 2, I decided I really wasn't going to fall asleep, and realized I was hungry, so I took my book downstairs, fixed something to eat, and read some more. Probably some time after 3, I fell asleep on the couch. (I am so glad we have a comfortable couch.)
I woke up just after 7, and all I could think about was garbage. For two weeks in a row, Brent has forgotten to put the garbage out at the curb, so it's crammed full, plus there was still trash in the house. So, I got up, put on shoes, and went outside to move the trash to the curb before the truck came by (last week, they came at 7:30. Today, 10:42). Then, I debated going back to sleep, but I heard Brent up and around upstairs, and decided I'd stay awake to talk to him. I had a hard time listening, though, so maybe sleep would have been a better idea.
My sister called to ask me a Bogie & Bacall question, and it took me a minute to realize she meant the movie stars, and not my cats. (Anne: What was their first movie together? Was it "To Have and Have Not?" My thoughts: They haven't been in any movies. What is she talking abou- Oh, them! Me: Yeah, that was their first movie together.) While talking to her, I realized that I was so tired I wanted to throw up, but thought maybe food would help. I made cranberry-orange muffins, and eating them did help, but I'm still really tired. I have a lot I need to do, though. Brent asked me to finish the laundry he started, so that he can pack tonight, and I need to turn the sewing room back into a guest room, since his mom is coming tomorrow. Then there are dishes to do, and I have an appointment to get my latest CT scan results in three hours. So, while I'm still contemplating a nap, I think instead I'll try and get things done, and then take a nap after I get home from the doctor's.
