What I'm Reading This Week #18
Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May. We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later. We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages. We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order. I think I'm going to have to look up some garage organizing articles or something because it's really overwhelming to look at it all. If we can get a plan together to tackle it then maybe we'll have our weekend plans for next weekend as long as it's not hot yet because we don't want to be in a sweatbox. Now let's peek into: Dietitians Agree, Eating More Might Be the Secret to Your Strongest Year Ever (Volume eating FTW. It's been ...
I always thought of myself as a night owl too but that changed with being an adult and pretty much having to be out the door by 7:30 every day. Now that I am teleworking full time during the pandemic I find it harder each day to even get out of bed in time to log in but somehow manage it anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'm somewhere in between. Like The Mr. I have been forced into becoming a bit of a morning person. To get to work on time I need to be out the door by 7:30, and if I want to fit in a short morning workout I need to be out of bed by 6:00. I have learned that morning workouts work best for me, as I am much more likely (95%) to skip an afternoon workout if left to my own devices. Now I get it done before I really know what is happening to my body. And I am back in bed for 10:00 and asleep for 10:45, as I usually read a little bit before turning out the light.
ReplyDeleteIf left to my own devices I would probably get up around 9:00 and in bed around midnight. I find I have the most amount of energy around lunch time. That is when I get stuff done. I like having a slow two hours to wake up and then I'm ready to get my day started.
I'm definitely a night owl. During the summers my sleep schedule gravitates that way - probaby I would end up somewhere around bed at 2-3am and sleep until 10-11am if I was left totally to my own devices. Because I have to adult though, I have to be up by 6 for work so I have to go to bed earlier than I'd like to. Working from home has seen me progressively staying up and getting up later and later.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting one because I'm such a horrible sleeper no matter what time of day it is. There has only been one time in my life that I slept like clockwork. It was during the year before I moved to Phoenix. I worked in Worker's Comp and had standard hours of 9 - 5. I'd be in bed by 9pm at the latest and up at 6am totally refreshed. That was over 25 years ago. LOL I'm very much a morning person where I prefer to be up early and get most of my errands and chores done in the morning if possible. There is something so mentally freeing for me to drag myself out of bed, get stuff done, and then know I have the whole afternoon to chill and do whatever I want, especially when a long nap is an option. Now with my new schedule for work, I get 3 hours of sleep at the most for 3 days, and God willing much more the other 4 days! Still working on that part...
ReplyDeleteNight owl but never really had a regular schedule. Some of my earliest memories are arguing with my parents trying to get me to stop playing and go to sleep. I think I used to talk to myself past midnight. I joke that I was born several weeks late and haven't been on time since.
