One of Those Days

I am sure we have all had those days where dragging ourselves out of bed is a chore and a half.  Its not that we can't wake up, its more that we woke up too early, can't fall back asleep, yet don't want to get up yet.  So maybe not everyone has had one of those days, but I am having one of those days right now.   One of our dogs decided it would be fun to sleep in between my wife and I last night.  My wife always sleep towards the middle of the bed, which on a normal occasion, would not be an issue.  But with her in the middle and our 75 pound dog next to her on my side, it leaves me about a foot and a half of room in which to sleep.  I felt her get up and lay next to my wife, and for the better portion of the night, it was fine.  She stayed nice and compact and I had enough room in which to get comfortable and pass out.  Then about 2:30/3 in the morning, she decided to flip over and lay with her back pushed against me; which actually pushed me towards the edge of the bed.  This was not cool by any means.  It essentially left me with a rock wall (her) on one side and about a foot away, the edge of the bed which I struggled not to fall off of.  I know I could have gotten her off the bed, it just would have taken a lot of effort and at that point I was drifting between a state of sleep and being half awake, neither providing me the capability of thinking and actually moving her.  On top of that, I didn't want to wake up my wife with my efforts to get our dog off the bed, so I just tried to get comfortable and sleep till about 4 when my alarm would go off.  Well, that didn't work.  By about 3:30, despite my deep seated desire to remain in bed and sleep, I just couldn't take it anymore and got up.  I felt like crap, tired and more tired.  Even sucking down my second cup of coffee, I am still waiting for the caffeine to kick in and start waking me up.  For some reason, I think it will take me till about the fourth cup to finally come into a full and wakeful state.  In any case, I struggle on, writing something and anything that comes to mind.  As I stated above, its just one of those days.  I think I will be going to bed early tonight. 

 

So yesterday I mentioned that I was going to be getting a voice over demo tape done last night.  I had it marked in my phone with alerts to go off before hand and everything.  Well, when I got to the recording studio of my friend, he had me scheduled in for next week instead.  There wasn't much I could do as when I was getting there, there was also a band arriving to rehearse.  So instead of getting the demo tape done last night, I sat and talked with my friend about the business, any advice that he had, and after an hour and a half, it was time to head home.  While 9:30 is usually not that late for me, I was exhausted when I got into my Jeep and got ready to drive home.  Perhaps it was the fact that I was actually engaged in a conversation for an hour and a half right about the time I am usually headed into my garage by myself to work on projects.  I never have conversations at that hour of the night, especially on a week night, and I guess it just wore me out.  Such is life.  I got home by 10:00, got ready for bed, and passed out by 10:30.  So, essentially, there is nothing all that exciting that I will be writing about today.  Unless, of course, you consider my morning ramblings about my previous day to be interesting and riveting.  Again, its just one of those days when I feel the need to write, yet my brain is sluggish and this is pretty much all I can write about currently.  So in an effort not to drag things along and bore everyone out of their minds, I will probably end this within the next few sentences so we can all get on with our mornings, or afternoons (all depending on when you are reading this).  And on top of that, our son decided to wake up early and start whimpering in his crib, so it is probably a good time for me to wrap this up, run it through the spell check, and post it.  I am really struggling to keep my eyes open right now, seriously.  They just want to close and my body wants to sleep, yet there is another day of work to do, power washing in the rain, and I have to get my butt in gear.  So here goes another day...
