And So...

We're trying this new sleep schedule thing. I think that part of the reason I haven't been able to get up like I should is that I've been sabotaging my wake up process. I usually wake up when the alarm goes off, take my temperature, take my pills and go to the bathroom. Then I go back to sleep. Getting up and going to the bathroom is usually what breaks through the last of my sleepiness...or at least it was when I was in college. Now, I had been just crashing back out and not getting up until 10am or so. This morning, I got up at 5am when the alarm went off and did all my wake up routines. I've even partly loaded the dishwasher this morning. I'm going to start the rest of my routines in a few minutes. And I'm going to cook some freakin' breakfast because I'm starving!!

Woot! Plants.

Hooray! I have seedlings. *happy dance* I have succeeded. Now all that's left is to continue leaving them alone enough for them to grow. And there's that thing with keeping the cats from eating it. That is a made a bit simpler by the fact that the herb tray has a lid. True it is a flimsy lid, but the suggestion of a lid seems to be enough deterent for now. I have five thyme seedlings and two basil seedlings. I also adjusted the angle of the box some to catch more of the sunlight coming in. I moved my jasmine outside so it could soak up some light with a full spectrum for a few hours. I'm hoping to encourage it since I just did the trellis thing earlier this week. I'm also thinking I should clean all the cat noses off the windows in the kitchen so the plants get more light. I've been tearing through another book on houseplants. It suggested to clean your windows and remove your screens when you don't need them. One thing at a time.
