It's been three days of my new routine, and even though it's not going perfectly, it's been going well!

I'm still struggling to sleep through the night. Today, I woke up at 3:45 am. The previous night was 2:00 am, and I ended up napping for an hour or so before work. I find that melatonin helps me fall asleep, but it doesn't help me stay asleep. I think my next step would be to incorporate exercise to help tire me out, but I'm not quite ready for that yet.

I have been going for morning walks. Very brief ones, just so I can put my pokemon in the gym for Pokemon GO lol. It takes maybe 5-10 minutes max. It's too chilly out there right now and I don't feel like going out for longer, but I think this is a good start!

I've been trying not to eat too late at night, so I'll wake up feeling hungry in the morning. I wanna make breakfast my favorite time of the day, so my body has something to look forward to. It's funny because breakfast foods are typically my least favorite foods. But I mean, who's stopping me from having spaghetti at 7:00 am?

Still doing work on my couch. It's too damn comfortable to give up. I guess as long as I'm alert and being productive, it shouldn't matter too much though.

Also, I forgot to mention, we were approved to adopt Lucky yesterday! Looking back at my old post about lamenting about how hard it would be to adopt a dog that fit our criteria, I feel like I was a being a little overdramatic now haha. But I suppose she's still not the "ideal" dog, in the sense that she's got some issues that we're going to need to help her with; thus, less competition to get her because fewer people would want a difficult dog.

We can't bring her home yet as Max is traveling to Texas for a week, and we'd rather she come home with both of us here. I'm really looking forward to training her. Watching a creature learn and grow is so awesome to witness, especially if you helped them get there. :)
