I should be sleeping.

Need I say more? It’s 2:05 am here in Utah.

I have spent today working on my final few assignments for the semester trying to make sure I’m prepared for a final in data analytics and a presentation in a marketing research class called “Customer Service” which is a weird name for this class in my opinion. It’s been a mentally exhausting day and the rest of the week looks about the same.

Not complaining just sharing how it’s strange the lengths we will go to reach a goal. As I’ve mentioned before my goal is to graduate from University with a degree in Marketing and I’m just five classes away from that after this semester. I suppose that will be the final stretch of school for a while unless something screams go back… do more school… and at this point, if something calls me with that recommendation it’s being ignored. ha.

I should be sleeping but I’m not ready for sleep yet. My body isn’t ready to settle in for a quick five-hour nap before a workday because it hasn’t moved much today. It’s been patient with me while I clicked my mouse, typed a few lines, written six pages of notes, and I have taken three quizzes. My mind is calling for sleep but my body wants to move.

My legs long for a walk in nature with my dogs on the trail near my apartment.
My feet long to feel the various rocks and debris beneath my feet as we explore.
My lungs are asking for fresh mountain air above the smog of the valley.

And all I’m offering myself for the next few days?

Short walks to the backyard with the dogs and poor posture while sitting in my office chair.

As I mentioned before, I should be sleeping.
