I usually have insomnia, but have been sleeping very well since Memorial Day. My back is feeling great (knock on wood) since yoga on Friday and doing the stationary bike since Monday.
But then last night I woke up after a couple of hours of sleep very itchy and WIDE AWAKE. How annoying. I had no good books to read (well I have a ton of books to read, but I needed a riveting piece of fiction, not a motivational tome or a book about writing). And while I finally got the whole season of Heroes loaded on my iPod – great to watch while doing the bike – I deleted all the music off it. So no music to listen to and nothing good to read but magazines.
I took an antihistamine for the itchiness and read for an hour, but couldn’t get sleepy. I really needed something to eat, so I had a couple bowls of Kashi Lean and 1% milk. I located my old Walkman in a drawer and listened to music on FM radio and finally went back to bed around 2 a.m.
So not only did I have food that wasn’t on my plan (though it was a good choice, even if I did have two bowls) I completely goofed up my morning schedule of working out early (before 7 a.m.) and then eating around 8 a.m. Instead I woke up at 7 a.m., worked at the computer for awhile, worked out at 9:30 (for an hour instead of 45 minutes to get rid of some of that Kashi) and didn’t have breakfast until 10:30.
Then there are all the usual interruptions like phone calls, rebooting Lucie’s computer, finding Mickey Mouse hats, and helping Nathan with his summer school math homework.
How am I ever going to have a good schedule? Or do I just go with the flow and plan for the best?
I think it’s the latter. There’s going to have to be a lot of advance cooking today. We have speech therapy this afternoon, followed by karate. And then Paul and I are going to see Harry Connick tonight.
I’m going to start preparing all my meals and snacks and will put them in containers so I can take them with me. Don’t know if I can bring food into the concert, but fruit and peanuts shouldn’t be a problem. Eating BBQ chicken out of a tupperware may be though. HA!
