So this week I've not been consuming caffeine after eight, I've been exercising (ellipting and walking with the pup), and I've been getting to bed by midnight. And, I must admit, I've been feeling much more awake and alert. So that's an improvement.
Now, my feeling awake and alert could also have something to do with the fact that I had a short week this week. In fact, I only had students Monday through Wednesday, and even though the students were acting like crazy maniacs for those three days (is it the air pressure? a full moon? crack in the water?), the shorter week was a godsend. Today was a teacher workday, which never even feels like work because I get to wear jeans and flip flops and there are no screaming or jumping teenagers. Sometimes I wonder if that's what an office job is like?
Right now I'm so relaxed and happy and the house is sparkling clean and the windows are open and all seems right with the world. Matt will be home soon. There might be a family snuggle nap in our future. There are definitely Fresh Market ribeyes and twice-baked potatoes (recipe courtesy of Cassie) in our future. And there will be conversation. And there will be wine.
Here's what Friday's looking like in our neck o' the woods.
cute neighbor dog, Rider
my favorite spot in the whole world, where I've been devouring young adult literature
it's been in dirt for like two weeks, and it's not dead yet!
We hate to be away from each other. E.T. and Eliot, I tell you.
