No goal this week, in fact no riding unless I ride in to work tomorrow (Saturday). Yes, I am working on Saturday, trying to get my staff ahead of the workload curve. I am taking a week off starting 7/15, I need to know they won't be buried while I am gone. Didn't sleep well all week so I didn't push through the fatigue and make myself ride anyway. I am such a slug, that is a picture of me above, being a slug. I thought I was going to get a good nights sleep on Thursday, fell pretty hard and fast, but sometime in the middle of the night Joey went ape-shit crazy and scared the bejesus out me. She was barking so hard it reverberated off the walls. I woke up from a dead sleep, straight up in bed, heart pounding, certain there had to be some one in the house, there was no other reason she would be going this crazy, she has never acted like this before, just nuts. I sat there for a moment, finally figured out no one was in the house, something outside is setting her off. Got up, turned all the outside lights, could see nothing, and Joey by now has calmed down a bit. Whatever ugga-bugga (probably a raccoon) was out there had moved on. And I am now wide awake and exhausted. Whoo-hoo. So I pick up the Straub book I am re-visiting (I love Peter Straub) and spend the next couple of hours waiting to sleep again.
So here I am on Friday night, waiting for the bar-b-que to be ready for dinner - corn on the cob, baby potatoes, turkey burger - a pretty nice pinot in the glass, hoping I can sleep tonight. If Joey goes off again I may just jump out of my skin!
Hope next week is more productive.
