Sweet Sweet Sleep

you really cannot put a price on a good night's sleep.  i just woke up and felt the urge to write about this because it felt THAT good to finally sleep for 8+ uninterrupted hours.  I could have stayed up to watch my 2 episodes i've missed out on Walking Dead.  I could have finished my last load of laundry to say I am completely 100% unpacked.  I could have finished my book You Shall Know Your Velocity.   Or even, I could have spent just a little bit more quality time with my puppy (luckily she was just as knocked out as I was).

No, instead i took the golden opportunity to get some rest.  I may have dodged the fattest bullet of the year yesterday when a deadline of mine got pushed out a bit giving me time to catch up both mentally and physically.   I guess the last 2 weeks have taken it's toll on me.  Not saying it wasn't worth it.... in fact a lot of things that happened over the past 2 weeks were completely worth it and maybe more than worth it.  It wasn't cheap by any means, but it wouldn't be fair to either of my best friends to half ass anything on one of the few major memories you will carry with you throughout your life.  That to me is what a Bachelor Party is all about.  There are things that you can do or not do and nobody says there is any one thing you MUST do in a bachelor party, the important thing is that it was fun, memorable, and with the most important bro's you've had your entire life.

So back to my sleep.   For the past 2 weeks, home hasn't exactly felt like home.  With work starting to pile up, it was really just a place that I slept in for a few hours while watching a couple episodes of Scrubs, logging into work and playing with my dog.  I have house chores piling up , vaccum, weeds, clean bathrooms, and whatnot that is probably 3 weeks behind schedule and the OCD inside of me is starting to let it get on my nerves.  So last night for the first time after showering, the only thing left on my plan was to sleep and sleep i did.   It must have been a very deep sleep because I'm writing this after having just woken up and I can't recall any of my dreams I had last night.  Usually when that happens that means my mind is just unloading and refreshing for once instead of wrapped around a specific subject such as work, problems, girls, etc.   This time all I had was me, my comfortable bed, my soft sheets and blankets, the support of 2 king-size goosedown pillows, and ella sleeping beside me.   I couldn't ask for any more and slept like an absolute baby.

I think I am going to need this for the rest of the week; seems like all i did was credit all my sleep til sometime later.... well, later is finally here..... still need to blog about everything i've learned recently.... that could take a while, but at the very least i'm back
