Rut

Don't know why, but I'm in one. Most of you know that I didn't sleep at all during the last deployment (and when I did, I was on the couch). I started out great this deployment, and hit a wall about 2 weeks ago. I take a medication that has a "causes drowsiness" side-effect, so I take that at bedtime and had been sleeping just fine. I think 1:30 is the earliest that I've gone to bed in 2 weeks and as late as 3am (like last night). I also haven't been working out and eating as healthy as I was this past couple of weeks. I don't know which of those are causes and which are effects. Is the lack of exercise and poor diet causing me not to sleep? Or lack of sleep making lazy? Anyways, I'm going to try to get myself straightened out. I've been impatient with the kids, have been in a fog, and haven't been productive because of the sleep deprivation.

Here's my "to do" list for the day.
Call about biz insurance.
Call Nowak about helium for 3 River's Parade balloons.
Finishing photo shopping a shoot (about an hour away from being finished).
Work on photo shopping last shoot for about an hour.
Organize stacks of paperwork in kitchen.
Return a phone call about a wedding, and 3 important emails.
Work on order forms for class reunion that I'm shooting in 2 weeks for board approval.
Balance the checkbook.
Pay bills.
Finish pricing garage sale items.
Order buttons/dog tags for army fams.
Laundry
Dishes
Sweep/mop
Go to post office,Target, bank, grocery
Order gaffers tape and a cable release online.

I have another list of things to finish in the next week, but these are today's items. I suppose since it's 11:00am, and I'm just now eating my Lucky Charms that I should get started. If only I had gone to sleep earlier.....okay, have to focus. I'm off to be productive.
