Day 3,577 —Happy First Monday in February! —

 I have been really trying to get more sleep and go to bed earlier. I fell asleep at 8:30 putting my daughter to bed, but I still managed to stay up until 10:30. Likewise, I thought I was being very mature to not want to watch the new episode of True Detectives last night, but I did watch the new episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I remember first watching that show on DVDs when I was a senior in high school. It is always a memory that sticks out for whatever reason. It was close to the end of the school year, and I watched those episodes with my friend Lindsay and her mom. I remember thinking, “my mom would never watch a show like this with a friend of mine.”

That was almost 20 years ago now, and that show is still on?

 My cat, Perseus, woke me up a little after 3. I went ahead and got up and fed them all. Thinking that I would be able to sleep now, but there was Perseus again waking me up a little after 5 and then again at 5:30. I tried to get him to leave me alone, but when I held him there with me for a moment, he just purred.

When I did get up, the first thing I did was read! It is my third straight day of reading for run, and it is great! I also have been stretching every day and pretty good about finding time to meditate.

My only problem now is I am always trying to meditate and stretch while I do other things. It is so hard for me to focus just on stretching. I want to meditate as I stretch most days but it just isn’t the same.
