Sunday as a nice and relaxing day. I spent it watching the NFL playoffs and being lazy with Koki and Mia. I got some laundry done and did a little cooking. I studied for a while and of course did a lot of thinking. I feel like I am always thinking.
We finally got our bills for the last 3 months. The way it works is that we live in a house with a person living upstairs and someone living downstairs in the basement. The guy downstairs pays the bills and we pay him back. Well, he gives us a bill about every 3 months. We got this bill and damn our gas bill for Dec was through the roof. $87 for Nov. and like $500 for Dec. So, Mark and I paid a bit more to compensate for the dramatic increase in price. Part of it is increasing gas prices, but another is just our heat and I guess we have it too high. So now, we have lowered it and our apartment isn't as warm, somewhat cool, ok cold. Thank goodenss I got pajama pants from my sister for Christmas, because I really need them now. I am also glad I have a down comforter, which does an amazing job at keeping the warm in.
Sunday night I thought I would be able to fall asleep sooner. I felt this relaxing feeling after I got off the phone, like a weight had been lifted, but as I lay there, my mind would just not let me sleep. I wish I could just fall asleep at 10pm and wake up refreshed. This is really driving me insane, but I also know a part of me just doesn't want to go to sleep, maybe because it means that when I get up tomorrow will have come.
I did watch a CNN presents on the Teacher in Space. I remember a little bit about it, but back in 1986 I was only 6 1/2 years old. She was really excited about being able to teach from space and was so very proud to be a teacher. I wonder if people see teachers today like they saw her. I found it interesting how her family made their town a memorial to her, while her husband dealt with it a different way, by not talking about it and secluding himself. I wonder how I would of dealt with it.
Work was a bit slow and I wasn't as productive as usual, but still managed to get a lot of things done. I went to class and then to the gym. Today I increased my speed in running, but not my total distance. It is hard to figure out exactly where I'm at, especially without trying to hold myself to the standard of when I was running regularly. The water I had from my brita tasted terrible, I think I'm just going to quit buying that. Mental or not, bottled water tastes better to me.
Monday nights are the worst reading wise for me. I have 3 classes on Tues, so it really piles up. Luckily there isn't anything on TV that I watch, so I have more time to read. Of course, it probably doesn't count when you are using that time to write.
