Friday, the day of rest.

Well, it's finally Friday, and I wish had something smart to write today... but I'm looking at all that I'm going to be doing this weekend and realize... there should be more than 24 hours in a day. Because, with the 24 hours I've been given, I don't think I'm very wise. Ideally, you're supposed to get 8 hours of sleep, right? So, then you're only left with 16 hours in the day. Well, then, for me, I work from 9 - 5, so that's 8 more hours right there. So, then all you have is 8 hours left. That seems like so much, right? But it's really not. I take an hour to get all ready, including showering, doing my hair, having breakfast, and waking up. Then I have to drive to work. So the morning's shot. So, then everything has to happen after 5 pm. But, because I wake up at 7, then ideally I could really stay up until 11 pm. But to actually get 8 hours of sleep from 11 pm - 7 am, I'd have to already be in bed at like 10:30 because I don't fall asleep when my head hits my pillow. Bed at 10:30 means I'd probably have to home by like... 10. 10!!!! I'm very sure I've never been home at 10. So then, that leaves 5 hours. Minus like an hour added up with driving everywhere... I'm sure it takes more than that, but I'm trying to be generous. So, then I have 4 hours to do something. 4 hours - like half an hour for picking what I'm going to have for supper, eating it/making it if I'm at home, etc. So 3 1/2 hours. Minus another half hour if I'm with Katie and we can't pick where we want to go for food. So 3 hours. 3 hours to what? Watch a movie? Go for coffee? Minus the driving and waiting in lines and decision making? I take longer than 3 hours. So, what's the one thing that has to get cut back on? Not my work time.... not the driving time.... not the getting ready in the morning time... it's my sleep that gets cut back. So, eventually, I get home and get excited because I have time for 6 hours of sleep. The worst part though, is when you look at the clock and figure out, "okay, if I fall asleep right now, I'll get 5 hours of sleep." So, then you try and fall asleep really fast, and of course, it never works. What am I trying to say? I don't think I'll be doing a lot of sleeping this weekend.
