Are You Getting Enough Sleep?

Posted on Posted in Doo Wop Errand Day, Merengue Planning Day

Yesterday could be blamed on the fact it was Monday but I would be giving the day a bad rap.  Yesterday had nothing to do with it.  So what did?

Lack Of Sleep!

Sunday was a roller coaster of emotions with the highlight of my neighbor and my nephew each winning a feature modified stock car race.  Fans gathered around them in the pits to congratulate them including myself.  It was about 10:30 pm before we were finished.

The local grocery store had a sale on items I frequently eat and Sunday was the last day.  My mom and I went there where she bought what she wanted and I did the same.  I suppose I got done around 11:30 pm.  It had been planned to save myself an extra trip to town.  And so the 30 minute drive home began.

I got home and decided since it was late, I would just bring in the perishables.  Lucky me that 90% was perishable.  One of the sale items was yogurt for .29 each and so I loaded up.  Coming Sunday I serve a light lunch for church so I bought the items then.  This week is 4-H Achievement Days and that would be replacing my Doo Wop Errand Day on Thursday.

Luckily I had done a Refrigerator Cha Cha Cha!  Still I bought 30 yogurts.  Why were they so easy to put in the cart and take out of the cart to ring up?  Putting them away in my fridge was like I was stacking bricks!

Procrastination did creep in.  I decided to take a small break and relax in my recliner.  That turned into a 2 hour nap.  I got up and finally got everything put away.  It took about half an hour.  Now I am wide awake so I stay up a couple more hours before I finally went to bed which was 5 am!

I got ready and went to bed.  Some sleep is better than no sleep.  I asked my dog Lily if she could sleep in so I could get extra zzzz’s.  That didn’t happen.  She was ready to do her bathroom duties at 7:30 am.

I didn’t feel too bad and figured I had had enough sleep to get me through the day.  Was I wrong!

I proceeded to do my weekly habit of Merengue Planning Day to set up my week.  Normally it doesn’t take any time at all and if it does I am able to sit and concentrate until it was done.  Not this time.

What About Attitude?

My attitude was not bubbling over with positive vibes.  No maam!  Everything I did was a struggle to get done.  What I noticed the most was my increase into……………

Indecision!

I hadn’t had a day of indecision like this in quite some time!  Could it be from lack of sleep that kept me in this spiral?  There was one decision I finally made that came at the end of the day early evening.  That was to mow the yard.  It was a non thinking task I could get through.

Today

Today is Tuesday and what a difference a good night’s sleep is!  I can’t believe how easy it has been to start my Marilyn’s Way Dance Till You FLY! 9 Habits!  Tuesdays are also the day I write and send in the local news for the newspaper.  That was even easy!  I intend to finish up the second half of my Merengue Planning Day and do Tuesday’s Weekly Habit Freestyle Day where anything I didn’t get done yesterday can be done today along with picking out at least 3 outfits for the week, my 9 Habits, and the extra task of picking green beans from my garden!  What a difference a good night’s sleep brings!
