Today - the day of wonderful joyous cooking - is not. I mean, there is the cooking but the joyous? Not so much. V's flight didn't get in until 1:30am so K-Bug has been grumpy with lack of sleep. Then she got offended when I mentioned the first piece of prep work that needed to happen. Didn't take ownership of the process, though this was all her idea. The bf was here and I guess I rolled my eyes at something. She got mad, convinced him to go home, and then she grumped through the rest of the prep. Then she and V left to go home and nap. I got left with a messy kitchen, dolma that needed to cook, and I have no idea when they will be back to cook the rice.
Why do things have to be so fraught? I thought I was being on my best behavior with the bf. But the way he follows her around the apartment, like when she went in the kitchen to get a cup of tea, he was right on her tail, though he didn't want anything in the kitchen. I need to get over it. I know. I just... Arrrrgggggggg.
Timelies all!
My sleep routine: pajamas or nightgown(I prefer pajamas, as nightgowns tend to bunch up around my waist), no socks. In the winter, top sheet, blanket and comforter. Warmer weather no comforter. I start out on my right side, not always where I am when I wake up. In colder weather I tend to wrap myself up like a burrito.
I read for a while before turning out the light. Sometimes I turn out the light because I'm falling asleep over my book, other times I hit a section or chapter end.
TB, that's good news on the meds, and it sounds like they are taking your pain more seriously.
Sleep question: I'm a side sleeper, one pillow, but with an extra one on the bed so I can swap if the one I am using gets too warm. I have to have a top sheet in case the balnket or duvet gets too warm. I'm usually just wearing a sleep shirt On Ambien nights, I usually go straight to sleep and don't move much. Non-Ambien nights I tend not to sleep muchin any case.
New question: What's the last atypical thing you did?
Mine was probably getting a bag of Jalapeno chips from the vending machine--I don't usually get snacks, but the salad I had for lunch wasn't cutting it, and they were tasty.
The twins also call inside pants inside pants. They have them too.
This makes me unreasonably happy.
I have to have something on top of me to sleep right, no matter how warm it is. So when it's really hot I'll have like the tiniest corner of a sheet on the small of my back.
What's the last atypical thing you did?
Atypical for me, you mean?
yep
Unless you want to take it broader
I do that too, brenda -- I need covers!
ita, the pant legs ride up, so they bunch around at best my knees, and often my thighs. As I sleep.
Flight Behavior, the new Barbara Kingsolver book, but that book made me so upset and paranoid about climate change that I decided I needed to read something that probably wouldn't make me feel like I was going to die.
Oh jeez -- no wonder I've been putting off reading that book.
Job hunting with depression is the WORST, msbelle. I feel you. You know I've been in that cycle where my job doesn't think I'm good, so I'm less good at my job, so I need a new one, but I feel like I'm not good, etc., etc.
What's the last atypical thing you did?
It's kind of tragic that I can't come up with anything.
