Thought for Food

My left eye is twitching. Now my right.

I’m very tired. Sharing a bed with a nightowl who doesn’t work an office job and so doesn’t get up ‘til like 9:30 or 10 am is tough sometimes.

I believe that I’ll only get ahead if I wake up early to workout and start my Day of Achievement (TM). My inspiration, cheesy as it is, is the Obamas, who get up at 5:30 to hit the gym (if they can run the country, raise two kids, and workout every morning, surely I can do 45 minutes of cardio before I leave for work).

But I’m a light sleeper (even with the help of Tylenol PM, earplugs, and relaxation exercises), and he likes to stay out or stay up late. I rarely sleep through his getting into bed, and sometimes I’m jolted awake when I reach for him and he’s not there.

I’m really at a loss here. Any suggestions?
