Today started better than the previous few regarding sleep levels (more in a minute) but badly with the usual term time Sunday to Friday morning chaos, of me constantly having to tell someone to get a move on because we need to be out... and always because of somewhere he needs to be, but still does everything at snails pace! Sunday, because of choir (and if he wasn't in the choir, I'd not have welcoming duties) and the rest of the week it's because he has to be out for the school bus!
We made the bus with seconds only to spare, so he's been warned, in future, if we miss the bus because he isn't ready, we don't go and he'll loose his attendance record. It was my week on welcoming this week and I'd forgotten to look who was working with me. I gathered my sash and set to giving out the service books, but nobody arrived to help me. I was told who was supposed to be on and she was in church, so I took it that the person who told me had got it wrong. I couldn't go ask her, because that would have meant leaving my post! When I eventually got home and checked the rota, it should have been her! Luckily it was a fairly quiet morning and I needed little help!
After two (calm but annoying) conversations with people before the service (both people expecting me to be available whenever, without either of them thinking of my feelings, thoughts or needs) and my fellow welcomer forgetting to come and help me, I was happy to dash off to go do the food shop as soon as the service was over ... and I hate food shopping!
Six hours after leaving home, I put my feet up and said stuff anything else! JPD was asked to prepare dinner; basically peel spuds & put on to simmer, put veggie burgers in the oven, then dish up half an hr later.
Again I am tired tonight but know it's going to be as it had been for the last 3 nights, with me unable to just fall asleep because my brain wouldn't shut down. So I shall just give in again and put the TV on as I did last night, but do it earlier than last night. I know that that always sends me to sleep when its something I really want to watch, but I really hate resorting to it at bed time because the tv ends up on all night! I put on a film I had recorded, but turned the sound right down, because I knew I wasn't going to need it on and was asleep in 5 mins. 5 hrs later I woke up. I know tonight will be another no sleep night so I'll be putting on the same film!
