Day Off

Today my boss gave me the day off... I was supposed to work every day this week to cover the Information Desk so they would have a Spanish speaker. I think I could have worked today if I had to and been okay, but I decided I was going to try and sleep as much as I could. I slept from 11 to about 1:30, and then got up, ate breakfast and lay down for a bit. I napped until 3, and then I got up and went to the pool. I did my exercise, and it was nice to have the pool to myself again. I thought that since I went after 3pm it was going to be full of school kids, but it wasn't. I came home and around 4 I lay down again and napped until 6. I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight, since I slept all day, but I should. I'm tired now, when I normally get tired.
Mood today was okay... I didn't stay awake long enough for me to get a real feel for my emotions. I cooked dinner and all that. I need to take out the trash and clean the litterbox, but I don't want to do that in my PJ's. It's not like anyone is going to see me, but I just don't want to do it in general. All I really want to do is sleep. I had to take klonopin last night to get to sleep since I was overtired. I don't know if I'm going to have to take it tonight or not. I'm kinda sad... my stepdad is out camping and I don't get to talk to him until Sunday or Monday. He's one of my night chat buddies. Before I go to sleep, I talk on the phone to get me relaxed. I have Andrea, Anita, and my stepdad who I chat with a lot. I also sometimes call Kate. It's just nice to talk to someone as I'm trying to fall asleep. It's very calming to hear someone's voice.
Food today is okay... I'm a bit below my calories, but I'm going to have some peanut butter crackers to get me in range. I might have a bit of milk, too. I had a bit of leftover Chinese food for breakfast, some turkey and cheese roll ups for lunch, and chicken and pasta for dinner. I also had my fiber bar as a snack. I think I ate pretty well today. I wanted to have a turkey sandwich for lunch, but we didn't have any bread, so I just rolled the cheese and turkey together and ate it that way. Sleep last night was good... I woke up refreshed in the morning, I just wanted to sleep so I slept all day. It feels good to sleep. I would have been fine just laying in bed and resting, but my body wanted to sleep so I let it. I let my body sleep as much as it wants to most of the time, anyway.
