Busy Weekend

The DH came home around 4 yesterday and I was in bed by 8pm.  It was so nice to get almost 7 hours sleep. I’m refreshed and ready to take on the day! Edits are on my to-do list.
My family will be arriving tomorrow. My mom, son, aunt and cousins will be coming to celebrate my grandson’s christening. I’m looking forward to seeing them all and showing off Teagan. She finally gets to meet her big brother after seven weeks.
Someone turned off the heat here in RI. The temps are around 48 degrees. Hello, the calendar still says SUMMER. I don’t like this colder weather, but nothing I can do.
Off to get some edits done before the house wakes up. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Sleep is Overrated!

I couldn’t sleep. Well, that’s not true. Yesterday at exactly 5pm sharp, I shut down my two work laptops and the desktop. I had a headache. I informed the DH I was going to lie down please be sure to wake me at 6. I had dinner to cook and other things that needed my attention. I woke with a start at 7. Now mind you I was also a tad snippy and pissy when I went off to bed.
I stormed out of the bedroom and said, “I told you I needed to be up at 6.” I slammed the bathroom door behind me.
When I emerged I noticed he was eating. I asked if he had dinner. *don’t point out the obvious* He went and got himself a sub.
Okay, I went back into my room, closed the door and slept straight through until 1am. Yup, wide awake at 1. I did get some writing time in and I surfed. Now it’s time to shower and get ready for another long day at my desk. I wonder what time I stay awake until today.
It’s my mother in laws birthday so I’m taking her out for a leisurely lunch.
Happy Thursday!

Must Sleep

I worked my normal nine hour day yesterday and then had to work again from 8pm-4:30am. I was able to catch a few catnaps during that time, but not much. One reason was a terrible migraine I'm still suffering with. It just won't go away. I'm currently on the couch with both my work and personal laptop trying to get some writing done. I'm 3400 words behind my nano total and would like to catch up.
We leave for NY on Wednesday to visit my family for the holidays. I'll get a lot of writing done in the hotel, I always do. That's when my stories for the chicken soup for the soul come to me too. Every year I've written one or two and every year I sell them. Hey the extra $200 a story helps. Can't beat the money for a 1k story and 30mins of my time.
Tonight the family will come together to celebrate my son's girlfriends 25th birthday. Her family seems to have neglected to remember this milestone for their daughter so it's up to us to make her feel special. While it'll only be pizza and cake, it goes a long way with her.
Tomorrow I look forward to sleeping late. No work, no appointments, nothing!

Hope everyone has a terrific weekend!
