Breaking Habits

I realized last night that I didn’t do my post early in the morning.

I realized last night that I didn’t make the bed.

It was a busy day, and I am paying for it today.   I have been wanting to put bed riser on the bed in the back bedroom for, has to be atleast a year now.   I need the extra storage space under the bed to store some  file boxes.   So I decided to finally do it.   It required disassembling the bed.  WHAT A TASK TO DO THAT…..

I began about 6:30 AM and worked at it all day until I really felt like I was ready to drop.  Since we went to church Saturday evening, I took an hour break to do our normal “Sunday after church visit” to say “hi , how have you been.”

My husband had to work a special job all day so there were no distractions from him.  

Flipping the mattress and box spring off the bed stirred up some dust, and since I have sensitive sinuses,  I started with the sneezing fits.   I finally couldn’t stand it anymore…. so I took some allergy stuff…..Only one though…… by 6:30 PM….. I had it, I was beginning to feel really tired.   No dinner tonight…..let’s get Chinese…. So I ordered, so I went and picked up the order.    Upon arriving home, discovered they forgot to put in the dumpling sauce….. great !   They are only down the street so it was no big deal to go back out and pick it up. 

During dinner, we turned on the TV and watched a Christmas Show…..so soon ? ? Ten o’clock …..bedtime…..I was right out……until about 3:20 AM…A few of my fingers felt like someone hit them with a hammer and had some numbness in my arm…..must be carpel tunnel aggravation and  I felt like I was going to start sneezing again so I decided to get up.  

Usually if I have a cup of tea (tried some orange spice ) and a few cookies, I can get right back to sleep, also thinking  maybe the warm tea vapors would calm my sinuses down a bit .  We bought some new cookies at the store last week call WHOONU? …… They were opened the other night and have a reseal able package, only I couldn’t figure out how to open them up…..afraid  the crumpling of the package would disturb the slumber of the person in the next room….. I finally gave up.. no cookies tonight.

No cookies……maybe some tv would help.   I started up the laptop and figured I could find something on a site somewhere.   Finally settling on HULU, I found a 56 minute show on the “Mayan Prophecies and Crop Circles “ …. I mean who doesn’t think what the Mayan’s did was amazing.     It was tough staying awake till the end, I needed to get some more sleep…..so back to bed, it was about 6 AM by this time.  

As I sit here typing today’s entry and look at the clock, I think about how much I have to do in the upcoming weeks and how long it takes to write blog entries.  It was suppose to be short……not a lot of time…..I am thinking of cutting back and breaking this daily habit.  My enthusiasm is waning….Maybe because I am tired I don’t know.  Today it is even a struggle to go make the bed.   I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
