colors.

I love fall and leaves and just the feel of fall.  I love wearing sweaters, and scarves, and sipping warm drinks.  I'm so glad it's fall!

I'm missing Josh, but keeping very busy while he is gone guiding.

Our apartment is very clean, all the laundry is done, and I'm ready for him to be back :)

I'm very cheery this week, I think this is due to finally be able to get back into working out regularly.  I'm loving it :)

I hope everyone is doing well!

domingo.

I was very excited to go to church today... but I slept in :(

I, again, didn't fall asleep until after 3a.m... at that point, I popped some Melatonin...

Josh came today, because one of the guides had a flat tire and couldn't get it fixed in Townsend, so they had to come here.  I was really excited to see him, but I wore my grumpy pants today, because that's what happens to me when I don't get enough sleep, and now I feel bad that I had those pants on the whole time we were hanging out.

I did get in a run, but it was pathetic.  RUNNING... I'm very, very angry with myself about my running right now.  I know I had a wedding and a honeymoon, etc.... but I let it go too long without training, plus I hurt my neck at work, so I don't think it would be worth it to go to the marathon I signed up for back in July... seriously, kicking myself.  I'm going to kick myself in the bum so that I run more and get back to where I was a few months ago. So frustrated.

There's not much else to say... I'm wasting time before "bed" but hopefully that falls shortly instead of around 3 a.m. again :)

My conclusions today are that:
 a. I need to read my Bible more. I better.
 b. I better run more. I WILL.
 c. I need to figure out how to sleep!

Happy Monday :)

morning.

and.... it's already morning.

Bootcamp was difficult today.  Have you ever eaten a spoonful of peanut butter, without drinking any water, and then all night long it feels like your body is trying to digest it? It hurts! I think I will stick to peanuts instead of peanut butter from now on.  I ate a spoonful last night to hold me over before dinner, while Josh was setting things up at his hunting camp.... needless to say, the p-butter didn't help me when it came to boot camp... my breathing felt somewhat blocked.

Today was the fitness test.  We had to do five sets of:

Run 4.5 laps
20 squats
20 "two inches two feet" (ab exercise)
20 pushups
20 mountain climbers

Yes, five times.  Did I mention we have to do this in under 30 minutes?  I'm feeling sore, and good!

And now, I get to go to work... one word: coffee.

I've been having a really difficult time sleeping lately.  I don't know if it has to do with work stress, or being overly scared at night, or what, but it's really getting to me that if I want a good night of sleep, I have to take melatonin to do so.

Does anyone have any good advice for restful sleeping?  I have tried sleepytime tea, melatonin, baths... if anyone has other ideas, please share them! I need to start sleeping!!

I hope everyone has a lovely Wednesday :)
