Last night was the first time I was really aware of my stomach affecting my sleep. Normally I can sleep half on my side and half on my stomach, if that makes sense. But last night for some reason, I kept trying to roll forward to kind of be on my stomach, and each time I would wake up frustrated because it wasn't working. Okay, Ethan, you win. You're too big for me to squish now. I do think your dad needs to get me a body pillow soon though to get some of the strain off my hips. They're usually so sore in the mornings. I've tried sleeping with a pillow between my legs but it always gets lost when I change position and it's hard to keep shifting it around.
I also had several instances last night where I stretcched my legs and ended up with severe pain in the right one. Like the feeling you get right before a charlie horse seizes you. Maybe it was just a really mild charlie horse. What's the proper name for a charlie horse, anyway? I feel so much like my dad's mother when I say that term because I remember her talking about them. As a kid I didn't exactly know what she was talking about, but now to say it makes me feel old and uneducated. (Not that she is uneducated, she just had strange terms for everything.)
So, it was kind of a restless night, but I still managed to get up at 5:20 and make it work by 6:30. I'm sleepy but you can't beat getting off work at 1 on a Friday. As tired as I am, I wonder if I can really work the 4- 10 hour shift option in the coming weeks? I don't know, but I'm going to give it my best try.
Darrell had his last day at Will Rogers ANG base yesterday as a full-timer, and today he's taking security clearance paperwork out to Tinker for the new job there. Have I ever mentioned on this blog how proud I am of him for getting to this point, for making the changes necessary to take the position and ultimately for taking the best care of us as a family that he possibly can? It's not been easy to make all of the decisions and changes... but he's done a wonderful job.
