I woke-up around 5:00 AM and found Mark sleeping beside me. Unlike the last two weeks, I woke-up without feeling empty.
My world is better again.
Last night, I picked up Mark from MCI and we did dinner at Ole’ Tapas. Over a tasty Catalan seafood broth and patatas bravas, we caught-up on work, friends and random headlines. I could feel the weeks of bitter isolation and negative vibes melt away over glasses of margaritas.
Over the last two weeks, I finished a bottle of wine, Jameson, four Red Stripes and one Dos Equis. Anything to fall asleep on my own.
And the best thing about this weekend, I don’t have to fall asleep at noon today! I have entire Sunday with my husband – going to church, eating out, watching a movie and maybe even going to trivia night at a Lawrence bar. That’s because I’ve heading to prime time, starting tomorrow. After a little schedule switch-up at work, I’m now producing an evening news show. Woot! More resources, viewers, reporters, photogs and crazy good times.
It will take some time to adjust my body to a new sleep schedule, but I totally think it’s worth it! Anything for the chance to fall asleep with my husband and my baby.
I haven’t checked in in awhile sorry about that–but I am so glad to hear you are feeling better (and now I note to myself to scroll through your past posts to catch up).
Here’s to natural sleep cycles and plenty of happy sleep. 🙂
thanks Jade!
my morning show director used to say sleep is overrated…after switching over to the night side and sleeping with my honey at normal hours, I’d have to disagree with him.
and life is always better when our loved ones are around, at least in the same state. it’s always tough for me to live on my own when my hubby’s in SF for business. I’m totally jealous he’s in Cali and I’m downright lonely.
so he’s back and life is good.
yay!
and yes, it’s tough to not be able sleep during nighttime hours. the last time i worked a job which deprived me of nighttime sleep, it wrecked me for awhile!
