Sleep IS my best friend!

I slept all weekend long.  No joke!  I did a little bit of homework, but really not that much at all.  In fact, here's how my day went on Sunday...got up at 9 to get ready for my Sunday morning church meeting.  Went to said meeting at 10:15 and finished at 11:30.  Went to lunch with a good friend and then came home.  Entertained the idea of doing homework for about a half hour and then decided to lay down for a...*ahem*..."nap."  It was around 2:30 when I laid down.  In what seemed like a matter of minutes, my eyes were open and I was thinking, "I should probably get up."  So, I looked at my clock...6:00 PM!!  YIKES!!  This is the best part, though...I got up, got a drink of water, looked out the window to see if it was snowing and then thought, "Nope.  I'm not ready for this."  AND THEN...I laid back down!!  It was grand!!  I slept until 8:30-ish, got up, took a shower, did some bumming around on the internet and was ready for bed again by 10:30.  I think it was around 11 when I last looked at the clock that night and let me tell you what...I slept like a rock again!!  I don't know that I even moved very much until my alarm went off at seven the next morning.  ha!  Do you think that maybe I was a wee bit tired from the previous week?!  ha!  Okay...I'll admit that I did stay up a little late on Friday night as I went to a potluck for a friend leaving town and then some of us hung out and visited until the wee hours of the morning, but I sure don't regret that for one minute!  Plus, I slept for about 12 hours after that, anyway, so yeah...I think I might've just been plain tired. ;)  (And, yes, I know, I know...if I had kids, I wouldn't be able to do all that.  BUT...I don't (have kids)!  So, I do (get extra sleep when needed)! :)

Anyway...my week is going good so far, but let me tell you one other thing, folks...I AM SO SICK OF SCHOOL!!!!!  I know, I know..."Hang in there, Jen!!"  Ugh.  I think it would be less painful to stick a pencil in my eye.   That being said, I have four and a half weeks left and, officially, eight class meeting times left and one final.  It's NOT that bad, right?!?  Right.  Stick a little senioritis in there, though, along with bad instructors and it makes for a ROUGH few weeks ahead.  ha! :)

On a different side note...don't you just love it when things just "work out" in life?  This is really such a trivial thing, but every time it happens, I just find myself smiling (and, yes, similar situations have happened before...I'm probably jinxing myself by talking about it!).  Shortly after this month started, I was feeling a little strapped for cash.  That feeling kicked in even more so this past week and I was just feeling nervous about getting through until payday (last working day of the month).  That was Friday.  On Saturday...a $35 check shows up in the mail from a doctor's office because my insurance covered more than they thought it would.  Then, on Monday, a $50 check shows up in the mail as part of a "health bonus" for completing a health & wellness check through my insurance company six weeks ago.  Isn't that just wild?!  No more fretting this week!  Yahoo!!! :)  Oh, I know it doesn't always go that nicely, but I sure am thankful for those times when it does! :)

I hope that YOU are doing well, wherever you are!  Enjoy the rest of your week!
