Late

On work days I have four alarms that go off.  The first one has three math problems for me to do or the alarm will get loud again.  The second one is like a snooze to the first, with no math; it is when I get out of bed.  The third alarm is a check in so I know whether or not I am on track.  The last alarm gives me five minutes to collect my stuff and head out the door.  The last alarm is exactly one hour after the second alarm.   I give myself a lot of time to get ready.  This morning I was ready to go except for breakfast but my third alarm hadn't gone off yet.  Thinking that I must be ahead of schedule I looked at my watch to see that I was actually very late.  Somehow I slept through the second and third alarm and got up with the fourth one, not realizing it was the fourth one.  I quickly got onto the work app and sent the message that I would be an hour late.  The end result of all of this is that I was better rested than I have been this week and had a good night.  I've also changed the alarm sounds so that might help me get up next week.  Other happy things from today:

• TF and I are accountability partners.  Every week we make lists of things to accomplish and talk about what we have and haven't done.  We try to encourage each other and look for ways to move through barriers and be sounding boards for each other.  Today we were able to talk about a bunch of things that are blocking us.  It was good.
• Keziah, Gideon, a friend, and I went to fighter practice tonight.  We are hoping to get there more often.  Next week there will be a tournament.

• Embroidery was my choice for day 81 of th eA&S challenge.  I learned that there are things that I should draw before embroidering rather than trying to look at a picture and freehand it.
