03 February - I Will Survive

Aaaah. Girls' Night. I am sleepy, but out of bed. The coffee is brewing right now and it can't be ready soon enough.

Last night my sister and my best friend and I had 'girls' night in.' Pizza, cookie dough, talking about boys, a stupid movie... the works. We had a great time and really, it didn't go too late. But even a midnight bedtime is extreme when the alarm goes off a mere five hours later.

So, not quite enough sleep last night but I will survive. The weekend has been great fun. Exhausting, but good.

I am really, really enjoying this quiet time awake before anyone else is stirring. It's still difficult getting myself out of bed but I am refreshed by the stillness, the time to sit and read and write and pray and think before the day begins. It hasn't been difficult to stay awake once I'm out of bed until today. Coffee is a big help. I know caffeine dependency isn't the best, but right now it's helping me reach my goal!

A side note: I'm really looking forward to seeing my husband today!
