Mar. 2nd, 2009 06:15 amI am exhausted. Reece is so difficult the first few days after Lance leaves.
I had her crated for a good deal of the day yesterday. Couldn't help that. While dogs are allowed at Pike Place Market, I wasn't sure if she was allowed on public transportation and I knew we would be eating indoors, where it isn't considered sanitary to have your pooch.
So she was crated for a little over 7 hours. Naturally, she was full of energy when I came home. I played with her rather vigorously for awhile but I had other business to attend to as well.
I know she didn't get enough exercise. When this happens, she becomes restless at night and she can't sleep. She got me up 3 times during the night, for no other reason than she wanted to go outside and sniff around the backyard. Even before bed, she spent a lot of time sitting by the front door, waiting for Lance, and crying.
I hope doggie day camp mellows her out a lot. She goes in everyday this week.
It's going to be a bit difficult having any communication with Lance this week. He will be working evenings, which is when I'm free. So the only time I can really call him is during my lunch hour. If I call him in the morning before I go to work, I'll wake him up.
Today is going to be rough. I wasn't feeling well last night. I was jittery from that latte I had before, which was stronger than what I'm used to. And my stomach hurt, which may have been a combination of the latte and my usual Sunday night nausea (because of my Monday dread). I didn't sleep well, obviously, since Reece woke me up 3 times. And besides that, I was a bit restless myself. My neck and shoulders have also been stiff and sore. I think a large part of that is our mattress. I can't get comfortable on it anymore and I wake up in more pain than when I go to bed.
I had half contemplated calling in sick this morning. I still feel like total crap, but I don't think I'm actually sick. Much of it is my normal, chronic malaise that is just a little worse than usual. Besides, Reece still needs to go to Petsmart, in order to preserve my sanity.
