I stayed up a bit too late last night, but I made myself get moving in the morning anyway. It was my choice to stay up late, so I made the choice to act as if I hadn’t.
It helped that I had decided to do the limited eating window today. If I didn’t need to take the time to make or eat breakfast, then I had more time in my morning. I also decided not to do any caffeine. I think it’s harder to do the morning fasting without caffeine. Though I also thinking drinking an espresso on an empty stomach Tuesday morning may have caused poor sleep that night.
I slept well enough last night. Some interesting dreams. A variety of people from my present and past made appearance, and I got excited to recommend the book All the Birds in the Sky to a new acquaintance so I might have to reread that one.
I got my sheets changed over to flannel for the season. It’s not been all that cold here, but it will be nice anyway. I’m going to see how far I can get hiking in the Hitt Mountains tomorrow.
I’ve been feeling very tired today. My jaw aches where my tooth was worked on. If I could go back in time and change one thing, it would be my tooth hygiene. I’d need to send back some non-mint toothpaste somehow. Mint toothpaste makes me gag; it’s no wonder I wasn’t very good about brushing my teeth. Not to mention even when I did well I’d still get cavities.
Getting down to the final three months of my probation. It’s funny to think of how Ambrose would react to my situation. I think he’d find it amusing, but it never would have happened if he were here. At least I can drive this winter. I’m not having to rely on neighbors just to go grocery shopping. And I can drive out and hike like I’m going to tomorrow.
I hope I dream of Ambrose tonight. I could use a hug from him. Maybe some words of encouragement.
