Day 2

[7:30 am] As the sun peaks over the valley, I sit here slightly tired and wondering what happened. Yes, the 45 minute nap I took last night was on purpose, but the last nap turned into an accident - my alarm didn't wake me up. 1.5 hours later I woke up with the sound of Baxter (our dog) being let out of his room by a roomate. I'm not going to kill myself over this longer nap, but I am wondering why my alarm clock didn't go off.

Reflecting on my first night, I realize it was not the best. Yes, the alarm issue didn't help matters any, but besides that my eyes didn't want to stay open. It was a struggle even watching the "Cosmic Conflict" movie, and even playing piano worked better with my eyes closed and relaxed then them open trying to read the music. Other then that part of tiredness, I made it through pretty well. 

[4:16 pm] Today I went to church, and although I was tired it went by quickly. Being a deacon made me do some running around helping, and that helped my mind get off how tired I was. When I was seated and started to feel a little drowsy I doodled to get my mind off it, and that helped immensely.  About halfway through the church service, I went to the music room in the church basement and took a nap. Since then I've been doing pretty well, but still am coveting more sleep. It strikes me how long time seems to be when you are looking forward to something, even if you are trying to fill the extra time with stuff to do.
