Sorry, no monster truck event here.
Okay day today.
Don't know what to do about sleep. I felt like I got a pretty good night sleep. I was up for a bit around 0130, then slept until about 0630. That seems pretty good after going to bed around 2300 last night. I was nodding off again by 0800 this morning. Went for a quick swim to wake up, still felt sleepy. Went to Agriculture Museum. Still felt sleepy. Got home, started nodding off again. And now again at 2200, starting to nod off again a little bit. Really need to figure out how to fix this sleeping thing.
So, went to the agriculture museum with Kid1 and his Mom and little brother. It's so nice being able to get along with an ex. Makes life so much easier most of the time. Stumbled across the worm demonstration. It was pretty fascinating. Lots to know about a lowly earthworm. Did you know a worm has 5 hearts?!?! Neat. And do you think 13 year old Kid1 would even consider touching a worm? NO WAY! I would swear sometimes that this kid thinks he's allergic to fun or something. Went in the exhibit barn to see the tractors and ended up being there at just the right time for the butter making demonstration. It was pretty cool! I haven't even done it the way they had us do it. Kids and neighbours in the demo succeeded in being the first to have their cream turn to butter. Wandered the animal barns a little bit. No baby calfs this time of year I guess. Next one isn't due until mid August. Still a few smallish ones to pet and scratch. Max the young bull kept trying to eat my shirt. I didn't mind. He was a very nice and friendly.
Got home from that and got to relax for about an hour before Kid2 returned from vacation. Pretty happy to see me, and I'm just ecstatic to see him. We just relaxed around for the afternoon. It was nice. Had some pizza for supper. Watched a little YouTube. Then sent him off to bed around 2100. Wasn't long before he was back in the living room complaining about nightmares. He's now in my bed. Which I totally can't stand. I don't sleep at all when he's in my bed generally. I think I need a cat or something to keep him company in his room at bedtime, so he won't be scared.
This week should be pretty busy. Some errands to take care of on Monday. More on Tuesday. Wednesday is booked up. Then, Thursday afternoon, Kid2 will go off to the cottage for the weekend again and I will be kid free for almost 3 or 4 days. I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself.
I'm really feeling compelled to write something every day. I know that most days it's going to be incredibly boring. Not every post will be filled with emotional epiphanies. But I think it will be helpful to put some words down.
Here's hoping everyone has a great week. I'm really not convinced about mine at all. Stuff I've been dreading for many many months. Stuff I'm really not comfortable doing at all. I guess we'll see how it goes... Wish me luck!

good luck! One day at a time, one hour at a time, one task at a time. ;)
