Sleeping Disorder(ly)

This craziness (summer schedules, people dropping in and out, hubby’s bizarre foot disease) has turned me into a fidgety mess. When I’m not nodding off in morning worship, I’m planning my next nap. The nap rarely happens, but it is a fun fantasy.

Me Consulting My Keyboard

This week has been an especially difficult one. I never sleep well during a full moon. Add that to 105-degree temperatures, and I am a slug. A nutritious lunch at 1:00 pm, and I will force myself to lie down and nap. Falling asleep should not be a problem, but I must get into bed and not be distracted. When I am awakened, I will shower and get ready for the meeting tonight. All this while drinking caffeine-loaded beverages. I am determined not to doze during the meeting.

To Be Continued…

Between 1:30 and 3:00 pm, I dozed lightly. I did not power nap because I woke up groggy and did not want to get up. Oh well. I did get off my feet and rest, so it wasn’t a waste of time. Once the RockStar kicks in, I should feel perky.

I did feel perky, but that did not prevent me from yawning a lot. Meetings are never boring, so it is all my fault. I need to get to bed by 9:30 pm. I’m lucky if I make it before midnight because I mistakenly think I can accomplish studying or writing after I am alone in my office. No progress is made after 10 pm, so I should have invested my time in sleeping. I am smarter than this dumb behavior. Let’s see how long I can keep up the smarter bedtime…

Let Me Introduce You To The New Me…

Well,  Not all of me is new.

Same old face, body, and psychological diagnosis.  With a drastically different hair style.

After-Sissys-MagicWhy?  Because I am coming into my mid-life crisis. That, and I got so pissed off at my thin, limp and graying hair, I almost took my sewing scissors to it. It would not hold a curl, it was always in my eyes, and worst of all – it made me look mousey*.

My new hair is cropped into a very (VERY) short pixie cut. It is now a caramel strawberry blonde. It is so much fun!  What a difference in my attitude! I feel so damned perky. (I don’t usually smile so big.)

Hubby did not freak out – I forewarned him. All he did was grunt in an affirmative manner, when I asked him if he liked it. This is the man’s usual opinion about my appearance.

In other words, he does not give a rat’s ass. He told me once, “I like your hair when you like it – that way I don’t have to listen to ‘I hate my hair!’ and the other cursing while you’re getting ready to go somewhere.”  Fair enough.

The downside to a pixie cut is my ears are in plain sight. This means I will need to buy more earrings.

Aw, shucks   😉
