josilverdragonWork started early today because I decided I should probably start attending the 15 minute "pulse check" that happens at 5:45 AM my time. So I've been up since about 5:30 lol. But that works in with my plan to solidify a routine for me, which felt nice last night. And I got 6.5 hours of sleep, which if I try hard and make it consistent, it will allow my body to get used to it. I also felt good about the bed time routine, which, full disclosure, is chores I mean to do but always forget. So I added them as things I do to get ready for sleep. Here's my list:
In other recent events, the parents adopted a new dog who is cute but my cats are so unsettled that even if I have a baby gate up to keep the dog out of my room and bathroom, they pretty much hide all day. I hate it. They aren't eating when I'm not home and it makes me worry. Hopefully things will settle in the next couple of weeks, since the new dog has only been here 3 days. I didn't want another dog but it's my parents house and I was outvoted. They are definitely dog people and I'm the sole cat person in this family lol
In news concerning the family library project of mine, I wanted to paint the dresser black before putting it in the room but time ran out and I needed to move it into the room. I did organize the DVD/Blurays but they don't all fit in the dresser. So it will need to be replaced but that won't happen until the spring. I plan on buying another larger corner bookcase to mirror the one that's currently on one side of the window, as well as a large bookcase to mirror the one on the other wall, which will help with spacial issues and the books/movies/music that we have physical copies of will fit better. I reorganized the books too, as everything was in disarray, as well as the CDs in the room, so there's that. I still have CDs to bring in that room, as well as get new jewel cases for because the big CD books have scratched them up something bad. They all mostly work fine, but to avoid anything more, I'll be working on that, as well as maybe replacing some of the items in the collection. So lots to do there, but it's in progress.
Returning back to the subject of work, since I'm getting up early and have hours I am working at home, I need to not stay so late at work as that cuts down on my personal time in the evenings after work. Just another thing I'm working on.
