Day's writing

I slept too late today and am up too late tonight but I'm not tired.  In just two days it's the fourth of July.  Unlike last year, everyone seems to be going this year which makes me happy.   After about a month, I finally spoke to Jamie again.   I can't believe that we can go so long and then reconnect so quickly like we've spent zero time apart.  We are both super excited for this 4th and neither of us are exactly sure why.  Maybe it's just because we know we are going to be seeing each other.  Despite our conversation being somewhat short, we got a chance to catch up a bit on our lives.  It was really nice to talk with her!

That was sort of the highlight of my day though.  I had big plans for the day but slept through most of them.  When I finally did wake up, I had to go to work so the plans didn't exactly get accomplished.  At work, I talked with one of my coworkers about the sleeping so late.  Now that she's finished school and she longer is going to class she is finding it difficult waking up at a reasonable hour too.  It's nice to know that I'm not alone.  I felt so lazy but maybe it really is just the downside of doing "shift" work. When you work late at night and go to bed even later, it makes sense to want to sleep in.   If you wake after a certain hour, your work hangs over your head and it almost doesn't seem worth it to begin anything else.  

Still, I hope that I can eventually get into a routine where I wake up at a reasonable, lead a somewhat productive day before going to work, work, and then relax for a bit before going to bed.  Maybe someday...
