One of my favorite things about the nighttime routine I go through is how calm, sleepy, and snuggly the dogs get once all of their needs have been met. We go pee, they get treats and, in Cooper’s case meds, and then once I’ve finished brushing my teeth and whatnot, we all settle into bed. They’re so happy once we do that. I can tell in how relaxed they are, how their eyes droop off to sleep so quickly. A dog who’s calm enough to fall asleep is a dog who is happy.
It was a meh day today. Not super productive. Couldn’t get up in the morning, was pretty sleepy throughout the day…you know how it goes. But, it’s the first work day after a trip. It’s going to happen, you know? Tomorrow, I have to get up on time. No excuses. In the morning when it feels way too early for the alarm to be going off, I have to find the fortitude to get my ass out of bed and go dive back into the writing. Gotta. It’s the only way to get back into rhythm. So…that’s what I’ll do. Gonna be hard. But I can do it.
Night night.
