Monday, Monday........

*  This morning I looked in the mirror and was amused to see, during the night, my hair went one way - I went the other.  I made a pot of coffee before attempting to rectify it.

* It was a beautiful frosty morning; my whole body was completely energized.  It helped that I slept like a baby.  When I sleep so well it reminds me to appreciate those small things without clinging to them.  There are going to be nights I don't sleep well (or at all).  There are going to be mornings when I have to drag myself out of bed due to a cold or injury.  So good for last night and this morning - I'm grateful.

*  I'm working overtime today - 9am to 9pm.  I always arm myself with a variety of foodstuffs.  Today Apple, some grapes, lunch (PB&J Sammich), Microwave Popcorn, Raw Veggies w/Italian dressing, two bottles of herb iced tea (I made the night before).  I resisted the urge to include dinner because I know I'll want to make something when I get home anyway.

*  I made myself remember, as I looked in the mirror on my way out the door this morning, that it's okay for me to be me.  I am a perfect reflection of the universe.  I wonder if a mature adult should have to remind themselves of something like that?

Wow, long day. I'm glad it started out so well. :)

Sometimes I need to remind myself that same thing. I have a tendency to take things for granted and then get annoyed when they don't happen exactly as I would like. (At this age I should be grateful that I can even get up!!!)

yes, definitely.. we need to remind ourselves all the more as we 'mature' that we are perfectly fine, perfectly made and all is well! =) And indeed you are!

Aw, a perfect reflection of the universe, I like that.

I hardly eat at work at all. Everyone else does, but I've never been that into eating at the job. That said, I do have a Luna bar and some trail mix for later, if I get hungry.

Sleep... wish I could have some. Gladys is so restless lately. I don't know if it's the kidney disease or just being almost 18 years old, but some nights she just harasses me all night, for no known reason. If Sienna weren't around, if I hadn't adopted her (NO!), I'd put food out for Gladys to snack on all the time - I think she just wants to eat when she wants to eat.

Anyway, yeah, I wake up like every two hours, or more, all night every night. It's not a good time. But I don't want Gladys to die, so it's a trade-off. I won't handle her demise well at all, I'll probably miss her waking me up. ;)

Cyber is an 8am alarmclock. If you aren't up by 8am, you will be very soon after. She's relentless.

8:00 is doable. 3:30, 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, 5:15, 5:30, 5:40, etc. is not. I feel like a new mother must feel, always alert to her infant's cries. Blah.

Yeah i'm confronted with that issue everyday, when i shave. Then there is when i get a hair cut and watch all the grey fall along with the fewer, and fewer dark hairs.

sounds like you got a good, refreshing, nights sleep last night. Good for you!

Reminding yourself is a very mature adult thing to do and very healthy!

That's a fear I have that if I get my hair cut it will be uncontrollable (it's working at that pretty well by itself anyway).

I'm glad you slept so well. You are so wise to be able to be thankful for that.

That's a very long day at work!

I wish I could remember that it's okay for me to be me.
