…and now I’m up, heart pounding with adrenaline due to a blaring, blinking, squawking false alarm that woke us from a dead sleep. The dog’s upset, the kids are wired awake also, and I just can not seem to fall back to sleep & I am still physically exhausted from stacking wood yesterday, among other things. Not the auspicious start to the holiday Monday that I was looking for.
I was hoping for a late start to my morning, with a suitable lie in, to awaken feeling both rested, and excited to finish up a bunch of chores before we sit down to eat a giant meal and watch some more Blue Jays baseball. Not that last night’s 3-1 loss to the Mariners wasn’t frustrating to watch, but I’m looking for them to do more with their offense tonight. Shake off the loss, and come back with a vengeance!
It is Monday after all, and you just knew that Monday was going to Monday all over the holiday long weekend. Once my heart stops pounding I’m hoping I can fall back to sleep while it is still somewhat dark out. Fingers crossed for more zzzzz’s.
