Sleep

Well, I done gone and got a good night’s sleep last night – almost twelve hours – after the terrible sleep over the weekend. But here I am tonight, going to be later than planned, and having to get up much earlier than I need for sleep. So, I won’t be getting up early to exercise before school tomorrow, since everything got pushed back so late tonight by my husband. But I will make an effort to get to bed early tomorrow night instead, since I have no contingencies on others for tomorrow evening. And, depending on how I’m feeling by the end of the day tomorrow, I might see about getting in a short workout after the end of the school day (I’m either teaching or subbing all day tomorrow, you see.).

It’s hard sometimes not to stress about needing to exercise. But I am making a real effort not to be mean, nasty, or stress-y with myself around figuring out a workout routine. I have the workouts themselves. Just need to find when to do them. Every time I find a time, something changes, and that routine can’t last anymore. Ideally, I get back to morning workouts. But I must sleep well and earlier in order for that to work well.

Nonetheless, tomorrow will be a day of accomplishing lots of work stuff. If I’m up early and rested, I can get up and go exercise, anyway, possibly even take a short nap before school starts, if needed. If I’m not, I’ll get up at the regular needed time and go to school for the day, still glad to be alive and well and to have a wonderful job, though it doesn’t truly pay fairly. I will be in a good mood either way, as I will trust that God has guided me in having it go that way for the day.

Thank you for life, God. Help us to sleep well tonight and each night, that we be able to be our best selves each day, pursuing and fulfilling your will in our lives. In your name, I pray. Amen.
