or maybe I just needed SLEEP
I slept for 11 hours last night. Aside from having some really traumatic nightmares about one of my exes, my excessive amount of sleep was a good thing.
Danny and I have the really bad habit of not getting to bed until 1am or later. Since I get up at 7, this leaves me with roughly five and a half hours of sleep. Add this up over the week and by Friday, I’m pretty worn out. Lately, I’ve been sleeping very very late on Saturday, into the afternoon in fact. I don’t wake up and then go back to sleep. I just sleep and don’t wake up until after 11am. Then I close my eyes and when I reopen them, it’s 12:30. I just can’t get up. On Sunday, I barely get up in time to shower and make it to church by 10:30. Granted, I don’t go to bed early on Saturday night either, but the point is that I really catch up on my sleep on the weekends. While I love to sleep in, I need to adjust my habits so that I’m getting more sleep during the week. Plus, if I sleep too late on the weekends, I feel groggy for the rest of the day.
Tomorrow, we’re getting up really early (for a weekend) and driving down to Big Sur for the day. I’ve never been there and I figured this weekend was as good as any to take a road trip. I know that holiday weekends aren’t the best times to travel, but maybe the traffic won’t be as bad on Sunday as it would be on Saturday or Monday.
I don’t have a specific agenda for Big Sur. I just want to drive the scenic highways and stop off at a nice beach or two. We might pack some lawn chairs and an ice chest and just see where we end up. Seeing everything at Big Sur takes a few days, so we’ll have to pick and choose what to do on our day trip. I just want to enjoy the scenery on a sunny weekend without committing to an overnight trip. Danny is up for whatever so we’ll see where we end up. There will be plenty of new pictures though, I promise.
Speaking of pictures, we got our professional wedding photos in on Thursday. I’ll have those posted sometime soon. The files are huge so we need to resize them first.
