I had a really hard time getting up this morning. I was dreaming, and I was getting ready to do something very important when the alarm went off. I can’t accomplish anything with these alarm clocks disturbing me all the time.
Here’s some pics from yesterday lunchtime. Wordless Wednesday, I didn’t say nuthin!
The day after we got back from Costa Rica, The Wife and I got a new mattress.
Let me tell ya, I haven’t woke up since. Well, I mean, I’m awake right now, what I mean is that I haven’t woke up in the night and struggled to get back to sleep.
It’s nice. In the past year or so, I’ve gone from “World Famous Insomniac” to “Pretty Good Sleeper”. Mostly what I did was focus on trying to sleep better. Concentrate on not laying awake worrying about crap by focusing on my breathing, trying to actually stop thinking.
It works, and I like it. A lot.
And the new mattress is great too!
Have a good ‘un!
I got nuttin’ to post about today, slept good.
Here’s a pic from yesterday, a ship partly below the horizon.
Tomorrow I’m supposed to go to Cayman Brac. I don’t have my ticket or my travel money yet. Today should be interesting.
No dog incidents last night. That’s good.
I feel kind of crabby and restless this morning. At the same time, I kinda feel like laughing. It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you’re running with the turkeys!
Have a good day! I plan on having one, irregardless of what happens around me!
School of fish , from which the barracuda eats
Baracuda
Above are pics from lunchtime yesterday. I wonder if it’s the same school of fish and the same barracuda from previous posts.
I (sometimes) take pictures, mostly I want to put them here, but sometimes I post them on Facebook, then I feel like I’m repeating myself by posting them here. Plagiarism of me by me.
I passed my final real estate test yesterday. Now we’ll see what’s next.
I don’t have much to say today. Kinda woke up and didn’t sleep too well after 2.
This morning, before the alarm went off, I was dreaming it was Saturday. 5AM is awful early, and it seems to be getting earlier.
I am studying for test 3 for the real estate license. It is very difficult. They give you sample questions, and I cannot find the answers in the text.
It was supposed to be rainy today, but I don’t think it’s going to be. Scooter to work and beach for lunch!
I feel like I need to start putting more effort into this blog. I never know what I’m going to post before I post it.
At the end of this month, I’m going to see my Mom in Maryland, USA. Just outside Washington DC. It will be cold. I’m compiling a list of things to buy and people to see. I’ll be there from a Thursday to a Tuesday.
I don’t have much excitement about going to work today.
Have a Good Day!
Spotted Eagle Ray, Christmas Gift from The Wife
I’m headed back to work this morning after a nice break.
Today is a regular workday, tomorrow, half day I believe. Thursday, Holiday and Friday is FRIDAY!
Not much to report, Christmas was good. I can’t really account for my time, I went to the beach a couple of times, took a lot of naps. I didn’t accomplish anything, didn’t study, didn’t mow.
It was hard to wake up this morning, still dark, without the alarm, I’ve been sleeping till it got light.
Oh yeah, I have a toothache, a bad one. Top right, next to the back. Made an emergency trip to the dentist yesterday, got x-rays, a visual inspection, and was told they don’t see anything wrong. What do I do now? Another dentist? It hurts all the way up to my eye, nothing can touch it. Can’t sleep. Either wait for it to go away or go to another dentist..
That’s all for now, I’ll be catching up on my blog reading today! Have a good day!
This morning
yesterday morning
I can’t sleep. Not ever. Even when I am “sleeping”, I’m awake. Maybe that’s why I remember so many dreams, because I’m not really asleep.
Last night, about 3 AM – ish, the wife said something about a little dog barking. I thought it was a little odd, because I was intently listening to the big dog barking. A big baritone bark. I started rising up through the layers of fog, looking for the little dog and finally I could hear it, yip yip yipping. What was The Wife saying about the little dog? I don’t know, she’s fast asleep again.
A few minutes later, I look at the clock, 3:32. I get my phone and take a picture. I’ve always been fond of the times 1:11, 2:22, 3:33 and so on. Not to mention 12:34 and 56 seconds.
From then on, I’m trying to go back to sleep. The effort of trying to go back to sleep I liken to when you’re riding a bicycle, trying to go faster.
I feel like a crazy person, trying to go to sleep when I know the alarm is going to go off in a half hour. 15 minutes… 5 minutes till 5 and I’m trying to get to sleep. I know I should just get up, but I don’t, part of me tells me that I NEED to sleep.
One minute to 5, I pick up the alarm and hold it till it goes off, finger poised over the silence button.
So starts my day.
Last night I woke up at 1:09 to use the bathroom. My dog, Ditto wanted to use the bathroom too, so I let him out. He wouldn’t come back in. It started raining, and I’m chasing him around the yard with a leash.
I don’t think I went back to sleep at all. I’m beat. I snoozed in and out, but no really good sleep. World Famous Insomniac, on the job!
Today, and the rest of this week, I think I have training on a new system that’s being installed. It will be a nice break from the routine.
This camera has no red in it. Above is a picture of a beautiful red sunrise that has the red washed out of it. I don’t need to check the weather app today, it’s going to be rainy. Car for sure.
Have a good day!
