A Sour Mood and 193

Snookums has duty today, so I had to take Annie to school
this morning. It's starting to be a routine for me. I
don't remember what it's like to not get up and drive 30
miles round trip to get her to school. She goes to the
military daycare, so she has to go to the school in the
daycare's district, which is in the next city over. It's
the price you pay for ridiculously affordable daycare ($40
a week, full time). Anyway, tomorrow all goes back to
normal, until the next duty day or deployment. I hate the
Navy, but then again, what do I have to compare it to.
I've never lived without the Navy's presence on my life.

I'm in a bit of a sour mood this morning. I'm not sure
why. I've discovered this last week and over the past
couple days that Snookums has been home, that I prefer
sleeping alone. I love spooning and cuddling with
Snookums, but when it comes to sleeping, that's a
different story. I like being alone. There's no need for
tugging on sheets, fighting over pillows, or avoiding
being rolled over on. I think this may be why I'm a bit
cranky this morning. I fought a battle in my sleep. I
think he feels the same way, we just never talk about it.
Would it be strange for a couple that loves each other
very much to sleep in separate beds? Lucy and Ricky did
it, why can't I? :) I know I'd miss the closeness Snookums
and I share, so I won't entertain the idea beyond this
paragraph.

I've lost more weight since yesterday afternoon. Not much,
but measurable by the scale. When I weighed myself before
my shower yesterday, it read 194.2. This morning it was
193.8 and since I don't count anything to the right of the
decimal, I'm 193!!!!!! How I've gone from struggling at
202, down to 193 in less than a week, I don't know, but
I'm happy about it! I wanted to lose 25 pounds in 12 weeks
and I've lost 27 in 5 weeks. I think I met my goal and
it's time to make a new one. At the rate I'm going, I'll
be about 168 by the time the 12 weeks is up. That would be
amazing, but it's a bit ambitious. Maybe I'll make that my
new goal. I'll try my best.

I think I'll go take a nap. I'm only going to get more
cranky as the day progresses if I don't do something about
it. Ciao.
