Man, it's been a rough day!
I woke up not only tired, but wanting to go back to bed. Normally when I wake up tired, I get up (knowing I couldn't go back to sleep if I tried) and get some coffee in me. Today, I could have easily rolled over and slept a few more hours. I felt like I had taken a bendryl or some other anti-histamine sleep-aid. I hadn't. And that was after getting at least 8 hours of sleep, and normally I only get about 7.
I started my loops before bed. I listened to 2 loops US speaker -33ish dB before finishing with 3 loops TS at 11 out of 15 clicks (even maintained ASRB with a deft sleep phones switch-a-roo!).
My son was a major handful today, and to top it off, my wife decided today would be Day 1 of potty-training. I thought it was early to start (he's not even 2 1/2), but out of nowhere yesterday, he exhibited a ton of interest. He did really well today, but it was like every 15 minutes he wanted to go pee!
As the day went on, I started to feel immensely irritable and slightly depressed. I wasn't sure if it was my mood that tanked my wife's mood, or if she was just tired and stressed out by our son's insane energy today. Neither of us felt like doing anything, or going anywhere - but she managed to get out to the grocery before noon. (LOL, the cats are meowing - wanting fed - and she just snipped, "Get outta my way, I'm done with everyone today!")
I had a client tonight - the older lady who's responded unfavorably (in my eyes). Nothing inappropriate today, but she was all smiles and very interested in what I did over the weekend. She usually doesn't ask about me, and just talks about what's on the TV or herself. So that was different. I also had her squat today to a bench, and instead of doing it properly (she's been squatting properly for years) she allowed her knees to collapse and touch - very chastely. I had her correct that, and she acted like she had no idea she was doing it.
Right now, having just ate a gigantic meal - patty melt, fries, and another cheeseburger in addition - I feel waaay better. I'm awake, positive, what-have-you. My feet have actually started tingling as well.
I'll likely go with 5 TS loops on sleep phones tonight. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I have a happy hour meetup at my favorite sushi spot with a couple of 26-year-old lady friends. One is actually super-cute, and I haven't seen her since my wedding 4 years ago. Should be an interesting time.
