One Small Victory Against Slacker-dom

Spending nights at Kevin's house is common for me. And it has some really nice features - including his bed which is way comfier than mine. But I'm realizing it has some downsides as well. The main one is that on weekends (and even weekdays, to be honest, since his work schedule is up to him) he likes to sleep in. The last couple days, we've gone to bed at a perfectly reasonable hour (11:30pm). Friday morning, we both were awake at 7:30. Now, rational me said "Get up!" However, lazy me overruled and decided to stay in bed. The alarm wouldn't go off for another two hours... I was comfortable... Kevin was staying in bed till the alarm... I wanted to stay there with Kevin... blah blah blah. When the 9:30 alarm did go off, well, we were both groggy and just... well, you know how it is when you oversleep.

So last night when he mentioned sleeping in way late - as in after noon - I said I might just get up and go when I felt awake. I hate that oversleeping feeling. And it just indulges my slacker side. It feeds my slow side. It fuels that part of me that just wants to do nothing for the rest of the day. And when the end of the day comes, I feel like a waste. So today I had my car over there, and when I was feeling awake, I just got up, kissed his sleepy head goodbye and headed home. Watched some CNN, did some pokey stuff online, signed up for a summer term class (woohoo!)... I had a lovely workout - pilates dvd and a yoga dvd. And now I'm blogging. Feeling good throughout my body. Breathing deeply. And hoping my strawberries are still good so I can have them with yogurt for a lovely snack. Yum!

I'm going to spend some time planning today to. Making a schedule for the coming week. I feel like a big part of my problem accomplishing anything is that I have no routine. So I'm going to try to make one. Block out specific times for workouts. (And, consulting the forecasts, include time to begin my "becoming a jogger" regimen from the magazine.) Block out specific times when I will do certain job search stuff. Of course, there will still be huge blocks of free time... but I feel like they'll be more enjoyable if I know I've already set aside specific time to accomplish the things I need to do. You know? Instead of procrastinating, having a schedule. Anyway, crossing my fingers on this one.

I hope your weekend is treating you well! HUGS!
