One step forward two steps to the side

I woke up with a very achy back. Soon I'm going to find I'm not really getting better just getting along. Granted I am much better then I was just a couple weeks ago, maybe I'm just impatient. I haven't studied in almost a week, I have and haven't had time, I haven't really done much around the house, which is probably a good thing, it means I'm doing more stuff out, getting to see people I haven't seen in awhile. My sister leaving pushed lots of things back but now she is gone, so that's no longer an excuse to not be diligent.

The Physicist came over yesterday, that was fun, I have, yet again, forgotten to take a picture of the taquitos, though I could tonight as I had left overs, they wont look exactly as pretty as they did before but oh well, it will just have to do. We had a nice time, ate dinner and watched Cars. Not exactly the movie I was thinking we would be watching, being as we are both adults but he had never seen it and the kids were still awake. It's amazing how different your evenings go when you have kids. We talked but mostly the kids just kept asking him to watch them do things and tried showing off. He offered to help me study math, which I just might take him up on, even though he teaches physics and I'm just trying to pass algebra, geometry and some basic fractions and decimals, almost makes it feel embarrassing. I was never bad with math, so I know a good refresher is all that's needed but still, makes me feel sort of stupid. Still, nice knowing I have someone I can ask if I don't understand something.

I woke this morning at 8, getting into a habit of waking up early is going to be so very difficult. I am such a night person, breaking that is going to be killer. I'm not even sure I can actually do it. I am trying to make my way to waking at 4 am, that just seems impossible. It's not like I can just not put the kids to bed. To get enough sleep and to wake at 4 am the kids would have to go to bed and fall asleep no later then 21:00 so I can go to bed no later then 22:00, and that's only 6 hours of sleep a night, not that I believe I need anymore then that, but who knows. I haven't had normal sleeping patterns for years, I'm not entirely sure how much I need. Sometimes I feel much better after just a two hour nap and sometimes I want to sleep the whole day.

I got to paint, I did two for now and I'll do two more either later tonight or tomorrow. I need to have 3 paintings done no later then Monday. I want to give them as thank you gifts for the help the physical therapist have given me. I do believe it is my last session, I'm really more or less there to work out, sometimes my back hurts but it's usually when I wake up and therefore it's more a nighttime soreness. I'll give the receptionists some cookies and maybe a mug for milk.




I will go to the store and pick up some stuff and then come home, clean a bit and study, tonight I will work out and try to get to bed at some sort of decent time and maybe tomorrow I can wake up early and finally get into the schedule I have been hoping for. We shall see I suppose. On a very different side note, the Blue Angels have been flying overhead since two days ago, they make the whole house rumble, you can feel it in your bones as they blast by. I will miss Seafair but oh well, I already missed Folk Life, and Halloween... just seems like the funtimes keep passing me by this year. I hope next year is better.
