Losing a part of me

  • Day 1332

    I love what I do… but I cannot lie – I am relieved that I am now officially done with the overnight classes for the next little while. After a really weird Friday (which reminded me that there are some activities that I was really hoping I was done with) I got a luxuriant night sleep… which would have been slightly longer if I did not share my bed with a floof. It is my responsibility as a fur daddy to take her out when she asks nicely, and so I probably slept a little bit less than I would have. I will have another night to catch up tonight.

    My new order of meal replacements arrived yesterday. I think Monday I am going to start a new routine with them. I am not sure what that will be, but I will think of something.

    My plans for Saturday include seeing a friend in the afternoon. It will be a fun time.

    Have a great day folks!

    Another oops… but what a day Friday was. Sheesh!

  • Day 1330

    I got a lot more sleep yesterday than I did the previous few days; that is to say I got as much as three hours of sleep in the afternoon, and then another 3.5 hours between 9:30pm and 1:00am.

    Once again it looks like I got distracted and forgot to finish this article and then post it. Hmph.

  • Day 1329

    I am really looking forward to getting back to a normal wake-sleep schedule after Friday. I am just over this jet-lag-at-home situation. It is not making my life a whole lot easier, and it is killing my weight management process. Of course, the fact that I cannot get the meal replacements I need will have something to do with that.

    Yes, starting Monday next week I have two straight weeks of classes in my own time zone! How glorious that will be!

    I might have gotten three hours of sleep last night… but I doubt it.

  • Day 1328

    The seasons change. Yesterday was the first day that I took Her Floofness out for her morning walk (during my lunch break, from 6:00am-7:00am) and I was genuinely chilly. Today was the same, and I prepared this morning by putting a vest on under my blazer. I was not frozen, but I recognize that the summer is waning and autumn is nigh.

    I slept yesterday afternoon! I am not sure, but I might have gotten as much as 5 hours of sleep. It was glorious. I was awake at 6:00pm, and stayed awake until midnight when I lay down for a nap. All this to say that I was pretty well rested for my class today, which is just about done.

    When I get paid for a couple of engagements that I did in August I am going to place an order for some more of those meal replacements. I am not out of them, but my first order confirmed which I like better than the others. Some of them I enjoyed immensely, which some of them I am forcing myself to choke down.

    Have a great day folks.

  • Day 1327

    The weekend was too short, but it allowed me to catch up on sleep. Friday night I clocked nearly eight hours of sleep; I woke up Saturday morning with a feeling that I did not need to be awake. I went about my morning, and then took a four hour nap. I then slept nearly seven hours Saturday night.

    Of course, that streak came to an end today, as I am back at it for another week of working in the wrong time zone. I am now looking forward to Friday, when I can sleep properly again. Next week I will be working in the North American time zone, and I am truly looking forward to it.

    Have a great day folks!

  • Day 1326

    Oops… again! (Which is funny, because I made a note to post yesterday after having forgotten the previous day)

  • Day 1325

    Oops…

  • Day 1324

    I did not get nearly enough of it, but I think I got more sleep yesterday and last night than on any other night this week. I probably slept three hours in the afternoon, and then when I got back from my Lodge meeting I got another two hours. It is funny that I feel so well rested after five hours of disconnected and interrupted sleep… but that is so much more than I have had recently so my body is grateful for it.

    For those of you who are wondering, especially since this is meant to be a weight loss blog, I have stayed about the same all week… except that I have been again weighing myself at 1:00am so I might be a little better than I was at the beginning.

    Today is Friday, and I am excited for several reasons. Today is the last day of my class, tonight I should be able to get a good night sleep, and I am going to see someone this evening to play board games and enjoy their company. It should be fun. Yes, I will be home at a reasonable hour.

    Have a great day folks!

    …and the streak continues. No, I did not get nearly enough sleep last night. I have too much on my mind. I will make it through the day, and then after class I need to sleep for a few hours because I have an important meeting to go to this evening. Wish me luck!
