I just finished folding the wash for this week, a few minutes ago, Wednesday has become wash day almost a complete ritual. I even put off my arm bike so that I could wash the clothes luckily I had time afterwards too do my regular hour plus 10 minutes from yesterday's ride that I didn't get to finish so I'm cut up on my 3 hours now 180 minutes. 20 minutes tomorrow and I'll have my 200 minutes in for the week. Speaking of rituals that's another one I've become quite committed to. I have a rather small wash just one washing machine full I don't know what I'd do if I had two but I guess you'd have to have a family for that. So it's usually 6 or seven pairs of shorts seven shirts and whatever towels I tend to wash from week to week. If I sit and think about it before I do them it seems like a very long and arduous task but going through because my Wednesday Focus. It seems like everything else gets put on the back burner on wash day. I don't really commit to any meetings or projects or anything out if it's going to cut into the time I do my washing. I shouldn't be so anal about the whole operation the washing will get done one way or the other and I certainly have clean clothes to wear for over a week I just like to keep a week's washed to a week seven of each. Seven of each makes manageable load for me to carry since I have to get the wash from the dryer into the clothes basket and hefted up onto my lap from the ground level. Fortunately I've worked out a system with Melissa who will take the clothes as soon as she's got me on the toilet, down to the laundry and start the wash and then transfer the wash to the dryers before she leaves. I just have to collect the dryed from there from the laundry to my lap and then to the bedroom where I dump everything on the bed meaning I have to fold it before I can go to bed. Seems to work but that's usually all I get done during the day however I did run to the market this afternoon after I finish my arm bike regimen.
Have I mentioned that I haven't been sleeping that well the last week or so. Part of it might be the bed I am aware of that but there's something else going on too but it'll pass but what's interesting is that someone mentioned today or yesterday that I look tired and all I can do is agree with them that I probably do look tired but actually it's pretty much me these days. It's not that I'm so tired I'm yawning every other word and dozing off in the middle of sentences but I certainly feel less than perky most the time and I'm usually relatively civilized. I don't know how else to be. I would love to be able to get the 7 hours of sleep that person like myself should get but I just can't really do much more than 6 hours and that's a good day usually I'm operating on far less. The best part about being sleepy all the time is that you do look forward to sleeping when the time comes. I have no problems getting to sleep once I'm in bed and settled in for the night. And I when I do wake up feel fully excited to get going on my day. I think I'll be a lot less worried when I get my chair fixed and the bed fixed. My friend Kent thinks he's found a bed that will work for my needs and will be bringing it over the next day or so we'll see what happens. Maybe that's all I need who knows? I'm ready for sleep…
