Call Secrets of the OR- 2 nap day

Uff da, today was intense.

Today was a 2 nap day.

I will leave the stove saga for tomorrow’s Cookie Thursday is a Thing. And the dishwasher one.

That one was out of the blue. But I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.

I got called in this morning at 0309.

Thanks to my fragile habit of going to bed at a semi-reasonable time, I got roughly 3 and half hours sleep before I was awakened. Before this new habit of mine, that is barely 5 weeks old, I would have gone to bed at 0100 and only had 2 hours of sleep. Baby steps.

Today was already going to be a busy day as I lead a shared governance meeting on the second Wednesday of the month. Enter the appliances. But that is a story for tomorrow.

Long story short I got home at 0730 (morning traffic), stayed awake until after the meeting. This is when I took my first nap. This one was very short, about 40 minutes.

Cool, cool.

The reason I got up was that my husband was leaving for work and someone had to be awake for the workers.

Yes, workers. But that is tomorrow’s story.

After the workers left I had zero interest in re-setting the kitchen. I had lunch instead.

And got very sleepy a little after 1500.

Back to bed I went. Thank goodness for the room darkening blinds I installed at the beginning of this shift.

Today was a 2 nap day.

You truly cannot make up a sleep deficit. All you can do is sip at the nectar that is REM sleep.

And try again the next night.
