It's sunny today, but it's chilly as all heck out. Barely going to make it into the 50s these next few days. My poor maters. I hope they and my seeds I started in the mini-greenhouses don't go and end up dead on me. That would be a crying shame. I do wish I could quit being so tired all the time. Part of it I know is because I can't get Quentin to sleep with the curtains closed. With working second shift, that means it's daylight when we are sleeping and I don't sleep well with light in my face. He knows this. Yet he insists on the curtains being open all the time. Guess I need to start burrowing under the covers better, lol. I'm tired of needing to take a nap after he leaves for work, just so I can get through the night. I don't get anything done that way, and it's not pleasant to know I'm not accomplishing the things I want to do. I get grumpy. I do not like being grumpy. Grumpy is not fun. (Though I did get a tiny bit of a start on another book last night (2 1/2 pages).)
On the other hand, the nap is nice, lol. I don't get stuff done outside or any writing done, but it is AWFUL nice to just snooze without having him talking to me or sitting on the bed to fix his hair, lol. (He has REALLY long hair.) What I want is to have lots of time to just work on things without worrying about stuff so much. I'm a chronic worrier. Am I doing enough? Is it good enough? Why aren't I getting it done as fast as my mind says I should be? Of course, I really don't want to be working away from home, either. I'd love to stay home all the time, take care of the house and all and work from home. But there's so much to do that I can't do it for a while yet. So it's suck up and deal, just like any other homesteader. You do what you have to do when you have to do it, and the rest just has to hurry up and wait. I'm off to find books and maybe squeak in a bit of a nap before work. They're killing us with love (aka OT) at work this week and I think that's part of why I'm so tired. I may not be getting much done, but I am having some fun, so that's all to the good!

Would like to suggest a way to sleep with the light on or coming in the windows. I have a very flexible blanket/wrap. It is able to fold or scrunch up and lay over my eyes and I can sleep in the 'dark'. Sometimes if hubby and I go to bed at same time and he reads, that is what I do and can sleep well. Good luck. Appreciate you blogging your experiences and wish you well always.
