It's going to be a short and sweet one today. Well, mostly short probably not sweet knowing me.

Yesterday was not too terrible of a day. In fact, it was overall a fairly good day, but the lack of sleep really cratered the rating. I woke up around 3 AM yesterday for no good reason and just couldn't fall back asleep. I decided to get up and start on some of the tasks I had for the day. I typically delay drinking coffee on these early wake up days in case I do get the urge to fall back asleep. But around 4:30, I threw in the towel and made myself a cup to power through yesterday's post.

After wrapping up the post, I watched YouTube videos for a few hours before Maddie got up around 7/7:30. I cooked my weekly batch of cabbage soup, and then, we proceeded to watch some more Keith Eats the Menu. We have now decided that we are going to watch the entire series in order (73 episodes in total) so that will be a mainstay for the next few weeks.

I left for tennis around 1:45 to make it there for 2. I had to go a different due to a Mardi Gras Parade going down the same route I typically take. I did still end up getting stuck in traffic despite my best efforts to avoid it.

Me yesterday, just with more bags under my eyes

Tennis was fun. I played with Clark against Edwin and Bryan. I can't remember the last time we had a competitive match with them as typically they win fairly easily. We actually managed to take a set but lost the deciding tiebreaker.

since we last won a match against them

I headed home (taking another strange route) and proceeded to lie on the couch for pretty much the remainder of the day. Maddie cooked some frozen Dan Dan noodles from Costco that were quite good, but we don't think we would get again since they were fairly caloric. Around 7:30 PM, the lack of sleep really caught up to me, so I head to bed. I got on my phone instead of reading since it required less effort.

for not reading

I have no idea when I actually fell asleep.

Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow!
