The Power of Sleep

Jodi left Monday night for her trip out east to visit here parents and hit up the Praught family reunion.  I would have loved to go but,  could not take that much time off work.  Will have to make sure to make up for it at the next one with a little karaoke magic.

I miss Jodi a lot.  She is such a big part of my everyday life and it does not feel quite the same without her here.  Ollie and I are doing pretty well though.  We have managed to get in some good plays and I even did some tidying around the house tonight.  I have been a bit lax with watering Jodi's plants so I better get on that soon before they wilt a way to nothing.

The first few nights without Jodi were really hard.  I have difficulty at times with transitions and I was really struggling.  My head was racing quite a bit on Tuesday which I am not a big fan of.  Just think of listening to a cd that skips repeatedly for hours on end.  That is the best way I could describe it.  Wednesday was a little better but, still not where I wanted to be.  I did not sleep well for two nights and knew that was a huge part of the problem.  So last night,  I made Ollie sleep downstairs and I went to bed at 9:00.  That eight and a half hours of sleep made a world of difference for me today.  I was strong mentally and was able to control my thought process in a positive way.  I have to keep that in mind for the future.  Making sure I get enough rest for body, mind and soul.

Ollie and I are just relaxing tonight.  I was supposed to play volleyball but, wanted to rest my back.
We are watching some CFL action which is no NFL but, is actually fairly entertaining.  Looking forward to going to Port Credit tomorrow to do some summer pruning.

Happy Thursday.  Take care,  Shawn.

Enjoy the small victories in life.
