early mornings
for the fourth or fifth day in a row, i have woken up at or near 6am and i can not get back to sleep. if time permits, i will usually go back to sleep around 8 or so and sleep until 10 or 11am. its great that i can get a little more sleep in but it kind of fucks with me for the rest of the day. i imagine today will be no different.
i think i am waking up for a number of reasons:
1. larry is meowing like a maniac and i don't want him to wake up jes and/or our upstairs neighbors
2. i am subconsciously really stressed out about making this last set of revisions on diss chapter #2 b/c it means starting a new chapter and being one step closer to finishing the degree-which i long for but also fear.
3. i think larry waking me up has re set my internal clock that my body just wakes up now whether he is meowing or not really. this happened when jes was opening like four days a week at caribou and i would go in with her real early. she would have to be up by like 5am or maybe 5:30 (i can't remember) and it got to where i didn't need an alarm, my body just woke up.
i don't really mind waking up early, i actually love the quiet of the morning while jes and the kitties continue to slumber. i love opening the blinds in the kitchen and watching the sun come up over the garden. it looks like this morning we will have clear blue skies and sun. i am already in a good mood. the hard part is that we stay up later here for whatever reason. maybe b/c the city just does that too you. folks eat later, stay at clubs later, whatever. so most nights i am not in the bed before midnight (which for those of you who know me is nothing short of a miracle) so six hours is really not doing me so good. and i have a superbowl/lword party to cook for and partake in today. that means rallying until AT LEAST 11pm while eating junk food.
perhaps i can take a little disco nap before we head to jes's school. she has her first interview for a summer fellowship. its from the public interest group on campus.
so on friday afternoon jes and i walked to atlantic station to get some stuff from target and ties for her from burlington coat factory (she needs them for the job fair). then we walked back to park slope, got a slice of pizza and met ali up at gingers, this chill lesbo bar i really like. as we were leaving the bar (around 10:30pm) ali said she was hungry for a grilled cheese. so on our walk home we stopped at Daisy's Diner on 5ave and 9th st. Both Jes and Ali got grilled cheese and shared fries. I got this crazy platter with tuna fish INSIDE a half of an avocado. it was DELISH. then we all walked home.
yesterday jes and i really slept in (i of course got up with larry, then watched terms of endearment on cinemax until 8am then fell back to sleep until 11am). we just putzed around until like 2pm when we headed to her school to do work. i fucked around a bunch on line and then did about an hours worth of work on the diss. ali had emailed us and tempted us to join her for a fake philly cheesesteak sammie in the city. the super researchers, ali and jes located the restaurant "curly's" (next to the gay bar nowhere) and we decided to meet up on the platform of the F train at 6pm.
curlys was delish. i got a philly cheese steak hold the onions and peppers. jes got a buffalo chicken sandwich with ranch dressing and ali got a burger with avocado and cheddar cheese. we all shared a bowl of curly fries. i think i liked mine the best. and the best part? neither jes nor i got sick. speaking of sick, i feel hella queasy right now. let me get a mint. yikes. i wonder if it was the mixture of grapefruit juice and green tea on an empty stomach. ugh. anywho after eating and training back to brooklyn ali went home and jes and i went to the YMCA and did a little ellipticalling (she watched the first harry potter-they were all just babies, and i watched an episode of the gasteneau girls-ugh). from there we walked home and watched "wedding crashers" while i did laundry. not the best movie ever, but funny in places and that rachel mcadams is a hottie.
ok i am going to crawl back into the bed with jes and hope this queasy goes away.
tomorrow is my friend yasmin's bday AND glennda and kim's three year anniversary. love to all!
