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?

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.
