Thirty-third Day of Lent

Today, I took my husband to two medical appointments. I wrote both poetry and prose while waiting. After the two appointments, we went to Flames Coffee Shop. I avoided eating their delicious and tempting desserts. I only watched a few minutes of tv with my husband. It is a frequent struggle for me to limit my at home Internet use to one hour or less; however, I manage it most days.

I've been writing a lot the past few weeks. My husband told me that it's great that I'm writing a lot because it will help me become a better writer. I need that! I try my best to get eight hours of sleep each night. The last few weeks, I sometimes stay up too late writing and I don't get enough sleep. Often, I wake up at three, four or five in the morning, write for an hour, then fall asleep again. Consequently, I often have been getting only six and a half or seven hours of sleep. Today, my body told the that I need more rest by catching a mild yet annoying cold. I took a very long nap, and I'll try to get ten hours of sleep tonight. I'm confident that if I get enough sleep, I'll feel much better tomorrow. I have to, because I have a busy weekend planned.
