I had one of those nights where it felt like I was getting up to pee a lot – but every time I got up, I didn’t feel like I needed to pee anymore. I think it has to do with gas or poop pushing on my bladder when I’m flat on my back and then not pushing when I’m sitting on the toilet. I had some more interesting dreams. In one, I was in Winfield, and I wanted to go into my old grade school, but not while someone else was in the building. In another, I was in a restaurant where everyone was wearing white, and some people were lying down on the floor in rows. I was trying to find a person wearing a specific scent. And then, I got up around quarter to 5 to pee again. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get to sleep again after that, but I tried. I went face down, because sometimes that position helps me fall asleep.
And then I had the loveliest dream of Ambrose. We were in bed together. We made out a bit. He commented on a picture that was on the wall. He held me tight. I was about to tell him that I was starting to reread some old blogs from the website I had in 2008-2009 when that damn alarm went off and tore me out of it. It felt like he had come to visit me, and we had a nice little chat. I didn’t wake up feeling sad, just angry at that alarm for interrupting us.
It was another windy day today. I did the high mile for my morning walk. I just didn’t feel like going all the way up the hill in the fierce wind.
I had a long day at work. My first day training my new hire. I spent most of the day talking, and my throat is feeling it. The training went well, though. I’m feeling good about how the new person is learning and they have a foundation to work with, which is good. I’m trying to do repetition, repetition, repetition this time with training. Tomorrow will be more of the same. Wednesday will be a bit different, but I’ll still have to be on most of the day. Thursday as well. I’ll get a bit of a break on Friday.
After work, I felt very tired. I didn’t know what to do for dinner. I should have defrosted my frozen kidney bean stew yesterday, but I only started it this morning. Oh! I could have gone into town and gotten tacos for dinner. That would have been yummy. I wanted to go shopping up in Council, but I felt like I didn’t have enough energy to go for the drive. Maybe tomorrow if I’m feeling more energy after work. I was hoping to get some Irish soda bread, but I’m not sure what places around here might sell it. I might just have to buy the ingredients and make some for myself.
I did my exercises during exercise release time, which I moved from Thursday to Monday this week because Thursday is going to be a very full day, and I felt it would be better this way. The Shoulder & Arm exercises are challenging my muscles. I might linger on level 1 for a while just to build some strength up.
I relaxed this evening instead of doing anything more productive. I think that was the best choice for me tonight. I do want to get some staff spinning done before bed, so I’ll do that right after I post this. I hope I have more little visit dreams with Ambrose soon.
