Yesterday, I went to bed at 1:00 pm but didn't actually fall asleep until 3:00. Then I slept until 4:00 am. So, this is approaching normality. But I've been cycling like this for at least a month now. I guess I need to try and keep better track of my sleep and see where it all goes wrong.
But at least now that I'm going to be awake today, I can plan to go to the gym and also get some sunlight.
And maybe cut my fingernails, because they are making it difficult to type. I don't know why this is a daytime activity, but it is.
Also, grocery shopping. It's fun to go at night to somewhere that's open 24/7, but you have to dodge around the stockpersons and the stacks of cartons, so it becomes a bit awkward.
In other news, my sister made pie. She continues to surprise me with her kitchen skills. I know that she learned to cook and bake, just like I did, under the gentle guidance of my mother's wooden spoon. But she usually doesn't make more than toast. That's even a stretch. Usually her cooking stops at heating frozen dinners.
The other night, I said, I'm going to make scrambled eggs, do you want some? And she said, I'll even scramble them for you. Which completely shocked me. And then tonight there was pie. She had bought the filling and the pie crust (I had to talk her down from a graham cracker crust for apple pie) and she had managed to combine the two, and it was a perfectly acceptable pie.
Later...well, I didn't get much done today, but I am getting back on schedule, and that's one good thing.
It's such a great feeling when you feel things are on the upswing, isn't it? My sleep is not what it should be, but it is really my fault. During the day, if nothing is happening and I am bored, I figure I'll just take a little nap. And a little nap becomes a longer nap. Then my eating schedule is disrupted, and I really need to keep that schedule because of diabetes. Then I can't fall asleep at night. So I get up really late in the morning and feel like an idiot to be sleeping my life away. It's like some sort of endless cycle.
