Day 22 ~ good sleep is a mythical creature

Day 22 ~ November 29th, 2017

I hoped to get a report typed up for my son’s teacher this afternoon, but the day kind of got away from me. At more than one point, I was trying to do 2 or 3 things at once and then I’d get distracted while do those things and start doing a different set of things instead. Eventually I’d go back to the previous tasks, but it took longer to do everything because I was so scattered. Irritating that I was all over the place, not only mentally, but physically most of the day. I think part of it is simply because I haven’t been getting much sleep lately, only about 5 hours a night, and it’s starting to wear on me. Fingers crossed for a better snooze-fest tonight!

Day 21 ~ playing sonic feet

Day 21 ~ November 28th, 2017

It’s starting to get cold again. The warm break in the winter weather was so lovely and it seems its moving back to the regular chilliness again, but can’t complain too much considering where I live typically doesn’t get a ton of snow or extreme frigid temps either.

Day 20 ~ all’s well

Day 20 ~ November 27th, 2017

OK, my reminder isn’t helping -_-
I am resigned to the fact that I will probably forget to publish in the evenings on occasion.

A great morning for the most part because it was sunny out! Got outside for a while with the kiddo and did some exploring, walking, running and some time at the park too. When we headed out at the start of session we noticed that the tree in the playground area of the complex uprooted itself and was held up by the electrical/cable/internet cables strung between the townhouse units. It must have happened in the storm the night before because it was crazy windy then and no one noticed it until this morning.

Day 19 ~ completely zapped

Day 19 ~ November 26th, 2017

Incredibly hard to get up and going this morning. It was like trying to run through chest deep water kind of slow… thankfully it didn’t last for too long and it’s been a fairly productive morning regardless. I am hoping to sort through the craft shelf/storage and see if I can make it more organized. I don’t even know what I have all crammed in there anymore because it’s all willy-nilly ~ !

Day 18 ~ check, check, check

Day 18 ~ November 25th, 2017

Soooooo much cutting today! I started first thing this morning cutting out the pasted word wall cards and getting them sorted into their proper categories. My hand is a touch sore at the moment, but I got another 4.5 boards pasted and cut out throughout the afternoon/evening on top of the 5 I cut in the A.M. So, got a good start on my pile *thumbs up*

Currently taping up some of them now while catching up on Brooklyn Nine Nine 🙂

Day 17 ~ morning kermit flails

Day 17 ~ November 24th, 2017

An incredibly busy morning and afternoon at home today! Session this morning like normal for the kiddo, but I was slow-moving first thing so that added to the hectic-ness I was feeling. Also, needed to do a read through my son’s current IEP to make sure the goals are current, and some weren’t, so we (me and a friend working with my kiddo) decided on some new ones to work towards. And to add to the craziness I had to get the Term 1 portfolio put together for my son’s Special Ed Teacher for the meeting this morning as well. Thankfully everything ended up going fairly smoothly considered the rough start to the day!

Day 16 ~ never catching up it seems

Day 16 ~ November 23rd, 2017

Obviously I forgot to make a reminder sign… I’m doing that right now so I don’t forget again!

I was not feeling the greatest when I woke up this morning super early, around 5am (ish), and thankfully I fell back to sleep until my son woke up. I would have been worse off if I’d just tried to shoulder through it instead of resting. Upped my regular Vitamin C intake for the time being to give the immune system a bit of boost. I refuse to be sick like I was last, it was a personal hell!

Day 15 ~ robot legs

Day 15 ~ November 22nd, 2017

A slower start to my morning as I kind of slept in for once. This is a rare event! Still feeling pretty tired tonight though despite that extra bit of snoozing. I am have some stellar DOMS in my legs today from yesterday. I’ve not skimped on the stretching and foam rolling either. I didn’t expect it to be this bad at all so I hope it’s dialed back some tomorrow and I get a decent sleep tonight. A5-35 is already doing wonders for me and not even in to bed yet *purrs*

Day 13 ~ through the rapids

Day 13 ~ November 20th, 2017

A tougher morning for the kidlet in that there was a series negatives for him all quickly in a row. I fell bad when this happens because this is absolutely nothing I can do to make it better. The sense behind is when you have one of those days where you drop everything over and over or you hit your elbows/knees/toes etc. off everything frustrating kind of days. It happens to everybody, but most have some sort of coping mechanism to separate from or move through the negativity storm, because my kiddo does not. These days mean a continuous bout of over-stimulation which just makes each blip bigger than the previous one until he is swirling vortex of upset. *sigh* At least the afternoon turned around for him and seem to have stayed that way!
