Today is definitely another early night (though I have to wait for another half hour or so, so the dogs get their nighttime potty break.)

Around 3:30 in the morning (so having only been asleep for three hours or so), I was RUDELY awoken by a hideously awful calf cramp that made me want to scream. After that, it kept feeling like it was planning to cramp up again every time I moved, and it took hours to get back to sleep (not sure what time, but there was a hint of light in the sky.)

Today was as slow as expected at work. Fortunate, because it does mean there weren't any disasters, but uuuuugh, such a long day. Basically everyone assumes we're closed, or is busy themselves. I don't mind having a day where I do very little, and Easter doesn't hold any meaning for me, so it's not a difficulty for me to have to work. But still. Long.

The weather HAS gotten very nice as of today, and is supposed to be absolutely wonderful for the next few days. Upper 70s tomorrow and 80s on Tuesday and Wednesday! I'm so beyond excited. We're hoping to go out to walk both of my days off. There still aren't any leaves, much less flowers, so everything still looks depressing and awful, but at least we can stand outside in the sun for a while.

I'm hoping that shakes some motivation loose, too!

Glad today was a slow day for once! I keep thinking tomorrow is a holiday and keep having to remind myself that it's not.

Me too! Slow days may feel long, but I'll take them over a day full of crises and drama any time.

So many people kept talking about three-day weekends, when... nope! Lol.

Aaaah, cramps like that are awful. >.< I hope you got some solid and pain-free rest last night!

This week is mostly looking like it'll be a lot nicer here, too. *^^* Hooray for some actual spring weather!

Ugh, they're so terrible! I did get much better sleep last night, and my calf isn't even as sore as it usually is after those types of cramps.

I'm so glad you're getting some better weather too! Spring feels so belated, but is extremely welcome.

I hate calf cramps!! (Pip gets them in the back of his thigh, though, and I think that must be worse because how do you stretch that out?!!!) I hope it's better and you don't still feel like it could go at any moment.

We've hit low 60s and it is glorious! Supposed to be near 80 by the end of the week which will be less glorious, but still appreciated. So long as it doesn't stay in the 80s all spring. That's summer temps. (I've got to shave tonight because I see shorts in my future, lol!)

Oof, thigh does sound worse! I mean, I guess you could try pulling your knee up to your chest, but that's not nearly as effective a stretch. It did fortunately improve, and didn't even leave it with the awful pulled-muscle feeling that I usually have for days after!

Today was low 70s and it was WONDERFUL. I'll still take 80s, though it's true that it's a bit warm for spring. I'd rather have some more 70s before we get too much warmer, but I'll take 80s over 40s by far.

Maybe this will be the year I finally invest in shorts!

Calf cramps are the fucking worst. I used to get them all the time. Thankfully I haven't in a while *knock wood*. At least you get to sleep in a little today and tomorrow. I hope!

Ugh, they're so miserable! I'm lucky I don't get them too frequently. My poor mom gets them almost constantly - I think she finally found something that helps, but for several years she'd have to get up and walk around several times a night trying to work them out. I can't imagine! I hope you don't have any for a long time to come!

Unfortunately not much sleeping in, because once Bella decides it's time to be awake, someone better take her out, or else, lol. But a day where I'm not getting up to go to work is still a better day.
