I have cheesy spinach Portobello mushrooms in the oven, and I'm amazingly awake for someone who had their sleep broken up. There was a storm, but it wasn't the storm that woke me up. I simply woke up in the middle of my sleep. Unable to fall back asleep right away, I got up, used the bathroom, and then got back in bed. A few minutes later, while I was still lying there... boom! The storm that wasn't predicted started. But I couldn't sleep, and I had to wait out the storm anyway, not knowing if the power was going to go out. The storm lasted for about 40 minutes, and then I fell back asleep. I don't know why I'm not utterly exhausted, but I'm not complaining!

I once again considered trying to hold my schedule, but knowing that it's only likely to get me so far and could screw up my appointments, causing me to have to reschedule them, and that last night was a reminder that storms can come when they usually don't, I decided to just keep going as I am. I'm sure this energy is just a fluke, and besides, as soon as I get back onto nights, my sleep will be trashed by storms for sure. They occur nearly every day during July and August, but will start spacing out in September and taper off in early October.

Going to a new eye doctor tomorrow because I definitely need to update my glasses. Can't wait until I get them and can see more clearly than ever when I'm on the road. I'm almost halfway through the challenge.

Today we're going to contact my insurance company to no doubt be told that they won't pay for a mouth guard. The chipmunks have lessened, but I still do have them. If I'm going to get woken up most of the time anyway, then I suppose there's no point in getting all worked up about it when they reject the claim.
