Treating my restlessness...
I had a strange dream this morning, and it is really throwing me for a loop today. I don't remember what happened in the dream now, but I have been unsettled and unfocused all day. I also had a really hard time getting out of bed this morning even though last night I had a two hour nap after work and still went to bed on time.
There are a few possible explanations for my strange exhaustion/dreaming. Theory one: The weather. A bunch of storms have been moving through Chicago lately, so I think the varying air pressure systems are messing with my head. Theory two: My apartment is too hot. It is hard to sleep when the apartment is warm, because I like to sleep cuddled up which I can't do when sweating to death. Hopefully the building switches to air conditioning soon. Theory three: Ice Cream. I haven't had ice cream in months and my body is in withdrawal. I may need to take one for the team and get some ice cream.
In order to remedy my restlessness I have come up with a weekend plan. Tonight: Walk home from work and go grocery shopping for either homemade fish and chips or fish tacos. My backup meal plan is pork tacos. Tomorrow (Saturday): Farmers market in Lincoln Park. Trip to zoo and/or beach. Tennis in the afternoon followed by wine and a Veep Season 2 marathon. Sunday: Sunrise trip to Museum campus, Brunch at home, roller blade in the West Loop or Gold Coast. Late picnic lunch. Nap and Church. This should cure my restlessness by wearing me out a little bit! Now I just have to recruit people to share the weekend with, and write up a grocery list.
After a brief glance at the weather, tonight might not cooperate, but tomorrow and Sunday will be chilly but no rain so thats good at least!!
