Sleepless

Last night, I had no luck falling asleep. We went to bed at 11, Doug put on his podcast, I listened to the whole episode and started another one. He and Toffee were fast asleep and I was just there listening to the episode about Nazi/German soldiers who were in POW camps in the United States. Really interesting stuff. 

It ended, and I was still awake. I gave up being in bed and went to the guest room so I could put on another podcast. I had restless legs, twitchy shoulder, and was awake awake awake. I played The Constant podcast and again, interesting stuff about Flat Earth believers and the Eddystone Lighthouses off the coast of Plymouth, England. 

Eventually the birds started singing. Toffee came in and found me. She doesn't like when someone goes into the guest room and she wants to be with them. I did fall asleep around 6, but woke up and noticed the sky was brightening. The fitbit claims I slept 6 hours but that's probably just how still I was, listening. Not sleeping. Just. There. Geoff left at 8:30 to go to the gym, I heard the door close. And I figured heck. I'd better get up and go to work.

I thought about just calling out. And if I wasn't taking two days off this week, I would have. Then I remembered... my boss and two other managers on our team were out. Which left me and H alone to support the team. So I got up. Worked. Amazingly productive. I did two meetings with clients, one to try and figure out what is up with their podcast and the other was a training session with the person who has no attention span past an hour. She asked to record the session, which is fine, and we went an hour and a half, which she said is a miracle for her brain. I commended her for sticking with it. The stuff I'm showing her is hard! 

Doug took Toffee for a walk and I got dinner started. While the water was boiling for noodles, I walked in the house. After they got back, I stuck dinner in the oven and went out for my own walk. I would have kept going, but it started raining when I was a couple blocks away from the house and I thought better of looping up the hill and back around. Glad I came home. 

I had to do a lot of steps in the house to make up for what I missed out on the walk, but it wasn't too bad. 

While I was walking mom called (it's the 27th. I pay her lot rent on the trailer on the 27th. Usually I call her but I hadn't because of how busy I was today). I let it go to voicemail, and called her after dinner and before hockey. 

She also said she couldn't sleep last night, and once she fell asleep she slept in. 

"What, did you sleep until 6:30?" I asked.
"No! I slept until almost 10!" 

Well then! Amazing. That is super late indeed for her. I wish I slept until almost 10. 

The only other thing is we started filling out the pre-qualification forms online but then got really busy with work stuff. Will pick up where we left off tomorrow. I always forget just how much information I have to produce! ugh. 

I hope I sleep tonight. I felt gross all day. Meh. On that note.

Here are pictures from the garden. I wanted to wait until the marigolds opened up, but that could be in the next couple days. Imagine them, and oh - the lady bug is still hanging out there where I put it. Digits below.
