Sleeping In

This morning, I was sleeping in the guest room, I heard Geoff in the kitchen, and I heard Dahlia fussing in the bedroom where the dogs were with Doug. So I had to pee anyway, and  I got up, fed them, took them out. Thankfully Dahlia did a poo so I knew I could trust her back in the house if I went back to bed. 

They came in with me. 

And we slept until 11. It was glorious.

Doug must have woken up around 9 or so, but they didn't get up and go sit with him in the Living room. It was after Geoff had left for work (this is his weekend to go in). But they stayed with me and we had an epic extra snooze. I've been getting roughly 6 hours of sleep a night lately, but today was amazing.

My alarm went off at 9:45 so I could get up and do my 9am steps and I didn't even snooze it - I just turned it all the way off. Because I knew I wanted to actually sleep. Felt good, friends. It felt good. 

I got up and Doug and I hung around in the quiet. I made bacon and we had lunch, and then he decided to take Dahlia for a walk. I waited another 20 minutes and then took Toffee. I would have gone further with her but there were so many dogs out today! And she just is annoying when she sees more dogs. 

We did a solid 22 minutes and I wanted 30. So I made up for that later when Doug went to the market. 

Sleeping in set me back about 1000 steps to be honest. So I had to make up for it, and I did. I went down to the basement and did 500 steps back and forth. I made dinner and walked back and forth. I took the dogs out at 10pm and .... several laps around the house. Making up for the sleeping in. 

This morning was deceptive. It was hugely bright and sunny out at 7am. And when I came out at 11 it was pouring.  I knew that might be the case. Doug and I have a lot of work we need to do outside, but the weather just didn't want to let us have today. 

Hopefully tomorrow is a better weather day. That lawn is 9 feet high. 

Good day all around though. Doug went to the market instead of taking a nap. Had he taken a nap, I would have gone to the gym and then the market next door, so. That would have been alright too.  I wouldn't have had to cram steps in during the evening. 

We started watching a series that Ozzy and Jack Osbourne's World Detour show, that was on our agenda tonight. It is really sweet. Very good. I felt some powerful feelings when Jack took Ozzy for his birthday to Iron Mountain north of Pittsburgh to listen to the master pressing of Crazy Train. Seeing Ozzy just overcome with surprise and sitting quietly, stunned, listening to his friend Randy Rhoads play those famous guitar licks. 

Truly a very moving and interesting experience. Jack Osbourne seems like a really cool person, and someone I'd like to just message and say "I really enjoyed that." Kind of something I wouldn't do. But I'm tempted to. He's so young, really. And what a crazy train of a life he's had. I think he's genuinely (or so he seems) lovely. 

Weird to think of a celebrity person like that sometimes. 

Anyway. Here's to a drier tomorrow?
