I remember once a Garfield saying (and shouldn’t we all be living our lives based on the wisdom of a comic strip cat?) – February is the Monday of Months. Thanks to my passion for sports, I tended to agree since it is just a black hole of sports inertia. However, I am now beginning to feel an almost psychic malaise over the month of April.
First of all there is the springing forward thing. That just blows. I swear it takes forever to recover from that. Now, one would think given my passion for yard work and walking and outdoor stuff that I would appreciate the extended daylight. I do, but its not enough to overcome the other stuff. Like the fact that there are a lot of nasty anniversaries for the country in this month. Earthquakes and Waco and Columbine and Oklahoma City.
Of course if I actually TOOK a Spring Break with my kids maybe it would not seem so bad. For some reason though, I never quite have the money, or else it just sneaks up on me and I don’t make arrangements at work like I should. So I get all jealous of the traveling families who are in places like Hawaii and Disney World and the Grand Canyon etc etc.
This month SP has been away a lot more than he has been here. He’s working on repairing his kitchen from a broken pipe and then going away this weekend to visit family in NoCal.
Yes, there was the start of baseball and the joy of going to Petco again. But then they lost three in a row and took off on a 10 day road trip and wont be back until the 21st.
Last night was my first night of normal sleep in awhile. Even though I have NO real personal stress in my life at the moment, I have caffeine consumption totally under control, and feel completely healthy, I’ve been easily awoken at night anytime between midnight and 2:00am and then cannot fall back asleep for up to two hours. When I do, its a weird sleep with vivid dreams. Not nightmares, just weird ones that cause me to wake up not feeling refreshed at all.
I’ve never thought of myself as someone “in tune” with the stresses of the world in general, but maybe I am? Maybe the phases of the moon impact me more than I knew before?
Maybe I just need to get back into working out more than twice a week again. My schedule has sucked for getting to Curves.
Whatever, at the moment, I just don’t like April. Harrumph.

You know what’s weird? I forgot to mention this in chat tonight…
Today at work, one of my co-workers turned to me out of the blue and said, I haven’t been sleeping right, have you? She said she’d been having strange dreams. This is a young woman I only just met last week, a lovely young Russian archaeologist, and it kind of blew my socks off…well, if I’d been wearing any. ; )
Maybe it is the moon, maybe it is something in the air, maybe we are all being mind controlled! Eeeeek!
P.S. just sent you an email about your walking fund…the amount listed that I sent is incorrect. Fix it Bina!!! hahahahahahah

I don’t think anyone is sleeping well. My team was losing in the beginning of the month, and it didn’t help at all.
Smooches,

Glad you got a good night of sleep last night Christina. It will help. I know, it’s just so weird. And unfortunately, I just feel like I’m not going to get a good night’s sleep. Maybe it’s self-fulfilling prophecy, but no, I do feel it’s a more cosmic something going on. I really do. When will it end??? Argh…
Actually, I’m hoping mine will end this weekend, cuz then my certain somebody will be with me for good, and all will be right in my little world. That’s what I’m hoping for anyway.
