Talk About Tuesday: Sleepy Days And Sleepless Nights

 

In Which I'm So Sleepy And So Stupid

I need to stop drinking caffeine right before bed lol! In my defense, though, I was trying out that Pepsi Mango, and now I'm in lurv with it.

On the other hand, I didn't get to sleep until 2 or 3AM and woke up for the first time around 6AM when my dad had to go to work. Didn't end up getting up until 9AM because I'm lazy, and didn't get showered until after 11:30AM because.... I'm lazy. What can I say besides that? I just don't like moving around for the most part.

Except I did go for a walk today!

The weather was gorgeous, all sunshine and a balmy 65℉ (18.3℃). There was a strong breeze from the mountains that kept me in my flannel shirt and jeans, despite yesterday having been so hot that I regretted my capris and tee! Amazing what 12 hours can do.

And of course, tomorrow is supposed to be hellishly warm and thunderstorming. While my poor dad goes camping for the first time in maybe 8 years. In a camper he rebuilt by himself. Except for the half-rotten canvases he's been trying to repair...

Poor dude.

Anyway, I've been keeping busy. I'm trying to figure out how to make a two-toned panel, trying to make an oval filet crochet piece, working on old projects. I've been writing more in my wrestling novel, which I had to restart the second part of (again). Been playing more 3DS and Switch Pokemon games (New Pokemon SNAP! especially lol).

My big problem, as I mentioned, is caffeinating too late in the day. My cutoff should be 7PM, but... I've been getting sugared up past 8 lately and I'm suffering for it.

That's on me. I'm being dumb.

I have plans this week that involve finishing up some of the above-mentioned crochet projects, working on some art (maybe physical art this week?), and trying to remind myself that I can only drink herbal tea and water after 7pm.

I'm also going to try to walk 7 miles at least between today and next Tuesday since we've got our treadmill up and running again lol.

I think that'll do it for me. I've been dithering around on this blog since probably 10:30AM and it's 10:30PM now... Am geniuz.

Oh! One last thing - my alarm clock is possessed! Came back upstairs from my morning coffee on Sunday and my clock radio was playing static. I had not turned on my radio. Instead, the alarm light was flickering on/off rapidly and I could not at any point turn the radio off. It's currently still staticky, but I've turned it as low as possible so I can't hear it.  Now I will probably be looking for a new one lol!

RIP alarm clock radio - you've served me well since 2004.

G'night, y'all!

And Enjoy Something!
