I have been packing. a lot. after dealing with some family drama last night and a quick trip to target I went home, made mac & cheese and packed. and packed. ^10
please excuse that nerdy typing.
anyway, so I decide the #1 thing to try to complete was my shelves. I've posted these pictures on my blog before here, here, here, here and here. I'm pleased to say that the shelf in my kitchen (which is FULL) is empty except for a loaf of bread, some hawaiian bread and some english muffins (and two aprons), my china cabinet only has three place-settings and my margarita glasses in it, and the big set of shelves in my bedroom is about 80% empty. go me! I still have plenty to do, but now it doesn't seem quite so daunting. tonight I'm going to deal with clothes and the items on top of my blue dresser (which will probably go away forever after this move but I'm going to move anyway until I'm certain) and my desk.
I REALLY want to have things very ready-to-go when people come on Saturday. I have a whole lot of volunteers (more than I ever expected honestly) and they are going to need things to do! I think I'm going to try to move my food on Sunday, and on Saturday just focus on the heaviest things. Plus, if I unpack a bunch on Saturday then Matt and I can use those boxes again!
Not very entertaining, but that's what's on my mind. Oh, and the dream I had last night where I was making french toast for matt and me for breakfast, and he set utensils with plastic handles on the oven and they melted. And how Gobi finally got to sleep with me last night (Matt crashed at his friend's place) and how instead of sleeping on the extra pillow like he usually does, Gobi curled up right by my shoulder blades. When I woke up and he wasn't on the pillow I was sad, but then I moved to my stomach and could see him!
also, does this happen to anyone else? I woke up at 615 from a noise or something and felt VERY awake but managed to go back to sleep since my alarm wasn't going off for another hour and fifteen minutes. and when I got up to my alarm I was more tired than I'd been at 615!
anyway, yay for empty shelves!

The sporadic waking up happens to me EVERY morning. Usually starts around 4 am and goes until about 7:30-ish.
Usually it's a sound that stirs me... and it usually happens at a critical point in my dream. Which, as you know, is the equivilent of watching a movie and having the jerk-wad behind you ruin everything by his cell phone going off.
well, it's not as much about the waking up as it is about feeling more awake, sleeping more and then feeling tired...
OMG that happens to me all the time and I thought I was the only one! Like, I hate it if I wake up to pee at 4 am or later, because I KNOW that it's too early to get up, but if I go back to sleep and then get up at 6, I will be even more tired! I think it has something to do with not having time to get back into a "deep" sleep, or maybe just getting into a "deep" sleep right before you have to wake up for real, or something. I am so glad it's not just me! Are you like, one of those people that pretty much just WAKES up, like, when your alarm goes off you are wide awake, and it's hard for you to hit snooze and actually go back to sleep? Because that's how I am and I've always wondered if there is a connection?
@karitag-it depends. it's like if I can stay in the sleep haze long enough (or if I'm really exhausted) then I can go back to sleep, but a lot of times I'm just fooling myself if I try to sleep more, like after an alarm or whatever. so for the most part, yes.
I'd always chalked it up as me having trouble sleeping, but it would make more sense if I just had trouble getting into a deep enough sleep to have it help...
oh packing is rough, but just imagine how great it will be to put away all your stuff on your new shelves!!!! FUN.
