if i could sleep in the hallway without getting assaulted...

So I have been at a conference this week in Austin for work. First you'll want to notice the time stamp on this blog.
Second, let me point out that our agency seemed to cheap out and got us 2 double beds for 3 people. We decided to charge a cot on our tab so I have the little bed up against the window with plenty of roaring cars on 35.

You learn a lot about coworkers when sharing a room. I've been fortunate to really get to know the two people, that also came, much better. Lots of relationship building. That's the good news. The bad? I think I am able to conclude and armchair diagnose one of them with sleep apnea. BAD BAD apnea. I am on my second night of not being able to sleep. Last night I got 3 hrs, tonight I made it to 2.5. If I put in ear plugs I can STILL hear it too well to sleep! I have a hard time getting back to sleep after being startled awake anyway. She did warn she's a "noisy sleeper." That's like calling a prison stay a quaint getaway. I think I'm losing my mind. I pray I can make it through 8 hours of training again tomorrow (ok, well actually today now). I don't want to make her feel bad but its been rough!

I will be SO glad to get home to my puppies and hubby!

(Wishing for) Peace.

simple steps week dos

I'm a little behind but doing well. I didn't get in all my walking but am ahead in getting organized, having done WAY more than one drawer. Feels good. I even got out the sewing machine and whipped something up for my neice's 1st birthday this week. Just wish I had mailed it sooner!

I have training for work this week. Sometimes its nice to be away. But I feel behind so its a temporary relief. I real hope by getting more organized I won't feel so overwhelmed.


Ok. On to the new steps to add this week:

Keep a food journal

Squeeze in isometrics (exercises without movement where you contract an isolated muscle for say 10 seconds, ex. Your stomach)

Set up a laundry system

Plan a to do list each day

Remember to continue with last weeks too! Good luck!

Peace.
