Got my Shot Today
I went to sleep early last night and got a good night's sleep. I went to bed at 9 and fell asleep at 10, which for me is pretty good. I woke up at 10:30, so I got about 12 and a half hours sleep. It felt like more since I went to sleep so early, so I woke up feeling pretty good. I took a nice long shower since I was up early, and went to get my Depo (birth control) shot. They were having a really bad day at the clinic... My appointment was at 2, and I ended up not getting out of there until 4pm. By the time I got to Managed Care, they just sent me home since most places were closed and they stopped expecting me by 3pm. I told them all I was going on vacation, and they all seemed happy for me (and probably jealous as well). One girl told me to take a bunch of pictures so I could share them with everyone. I don't know if I will or not... I don't have a full working camera. I have a camera phone and a video camera that has a broken LCD screen, so I can either take pictures on a phone that I'm about to get rid of, or take them on a camera that you can't view them on. Decisions, decisions.
I'm trying to get everything wrapped up so I can go to sleep early tonight. I have to be up at 8:45 tomorrow, so I'm trying to get to sleep by 9:30. I know it's not the 12 hours I normally like, but at least it's a good chunk of sleep. It's about 8pm now, so by the time I'm done with this it will be 8:30 and I have an hour to wind down and try and get myself to sleep. It's going to be hard... falling asleep the night before a trip is always hard for me. Especially when I have to wake up early in the morning. If you think tonight is going to be bad, just wait until it's time for me to come back... then I'm going to be up all night. I have to be up around 3:30am or so when I come back on Feb 2nd, since my flight back is at 6:10am. Sometimes I wonder why I don't just stay awake the whole night and then sleep on the plane, and then I realize that's a horrible decision since I don't sleep well on planes. No matter how tired I am, I'm really not able to get more than an hour of sleep, even with sleeping pills. I try not to take them unless I really think I'm going to sleep.
I'm already yawning, and I'm glad I started the day out a bit earlier today. It gives me a bit of momentum to get to sleep earlier tonight, and to wake up early tomorrow. I better hear my alarm.. It sometimes is low in the morning. I'm thinking of setting my other alarm so I know I wake up. I'm not sure, since the other alarm is going to wake Geo most likely, and I want him to be able to sleep tomorrow. Then again, I want to be able to tell him goodbye for now, so I don't know. I will set the alarm and most likely wake up before it. That way I can turn it off and let Geo sleep, but I will be up. I will make sure to give him a good kiss tonight in case I don't get to kiss him goodbye tomorrow. He's been waking up at decent times lately, so there's a chance that he might be awake before I leave, but I want to make sure I get my kiss. I don't get any more kisses for the rest of the month, so I better get a good one tonight. I can't believe that I'm going to be gone for the rest of the month, but that's the way I scheduled it, so that's the way it is.
Food today was good. I was in my calorie range, even eating Chinese food for dinner. I'm leaving on the trip at 226 pounds as of this morning, so I'm a pound above my goal. That's fine. I'm just happy I'm so close to my goal anyway. Now I have to be good about my eating while on vacation. That's going to be the hard part. There's going to be so much good food that I miss eating while in FL, and going out with friends and stuff. I know how to eat healthy, now it just comes down to willpower. Tomorrow I'm going to be out of my calorie range, I know, with the foods I've packed for my trip. Roast beef sandwiches, Fiber One bars, cookies, veggie chips... Not all of it is bad, but enough of it is. Mood today was good.... Even though I had to wait and was a bit impatient, I'm just happy to be home with Geo for one more night. I came home and talked to him a bit, but he was tired. He was over at his dad's clearing brush. I'm going to ask him to come lay down with me for a bit while I try and fall asleep so I can get a bit more time with him. I don't know if he can, or if he's just going to fall asleep. I can always ask. Stress was okay today... I got a bit stressed with the people at the clinic when I was waiting so long. Sleep last night was good. Oh, and Geo can't change his address for those of you who suggested it.. it's a long and complicated reason, but he has to keep that address on the other side of the city. Thanks though!
