Mundane Monday

So Tired today. Couldn't believe it was 6:44 when I woke up. It was dark as night outside and very cold. Drank coffee at work. History class was fun when we got to draw versions of hieroglyphics. Acting was fun when the students performed their rehearsed group performances. Math was fun when we did budgeting and coloring worksheets. Study hall was fun when I helped a kid with fractions and another with a Rosa Parks presentation. Our student who uses a wheelchair was absent so I didn't have to do changing duty. There were two nice cushioned chairs being thrown out near the apartment dumpster so I put them in the laundry room for storage until I could take them to the "store" to sell...

I skipped art club even though I really do want to paint more on the mural project. But again, so tired. I still need to improve my diet and exercise habits. They are pretty poor. That contributes to my tiredness I am sure. But it's a lot about the weather and that we did so much this past weekend. You know how if it's your day off you can sleep in sometimes? I slept until at least nine or ten both days. And that doesn't sound super late, but it's 3 or 4 hours later than usual during school days.

Watched a show I haven't seen since season 1 last year called Lucifer which was really good and now Blue Planet II: Coasts, and I am so surprised by what I am seeing. First of all, how did they get all of these underwater shots? (A lot is filmed by drones, but are there underwater drones?) And second, why does it all look like some amazing animated film? The sea urchins, starfish, limpets, eels and crabs! It's just causing me to shout at the computer! The way they live and eat and hunt and search for food. Their cunning and stealth are impressive and fascinating to watch. I'm glad we are checking it out. I have only seen bits of it when we're watching Gogglebox. So I came directly home after work with a list of things to do but decided to have a snack and lay down and read Twitter news/updates first and have a nap. I was awoken 2 or 3 hours later by a dream telling me there was someone at the door.

There was; it was Steve's sister's mom coming by to pick up her pans she ordered from QVC and had sent here for some reason. She was working as an Uber driver and just used the bathroom and chatted for a minute and left. I felt like a sleepy zombie and was super hungry so I made eggs and cheese on tortilla and went back to bed to eat and watch TV. Sometimes in order to regroup and reboot you need to act like you're sick and just do self-care nurturing things. Like stay in bed and drink 7-Up and hot tea and eat soup and watch movies and read books and rest. OR take a walk in nature and eat salad and green juice. OR whatever works. I love taking walks and bike rides in nature, but I also really love watching TV and listening to podcasts and s l e e p i n g. I hope all is peaceful and well with you. PEACE.
