I'm Tired Already

So I thought I'd have a nice sleep last night, at least get 6 hours in. It was not to be. Although Johnnie and i were already in bed by 9:30, at 10 PM, right about the time JOhnnie knocked off to sleep, the fire alarm started to blare and loudly. At first I thought it was just the one in my apartment unit. Turned out it was the entire building. I opened the door and saw everyone heading out. And so I had to grab Johnnie, his Fuzzy, my wallet and cell and got us out of the apartment and on to the front of the building where the rest of the tenants were. Those alarms were REALLY loud. But it did not even bother Johnnie one bit. He continued to sleep. It turned out to be a false alarm. And so I just dropped Johnnie back on the bed and for him it was as if nothing happened. For me, I ended up having somewhat of a lucid dream experience. I was fully awake, but also drifting to sleep. And then I got wakened up by a boom in my ear. Except that there was no boom. It was all in my head. What the heck was that? First the fire alarm, now the boom? What is going on? I immediately got on the web to try to find some kind of explanation. I found some material on lucid dreaming and that the boom was a common experience when WILDing (Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming). That's when the brain stays awake while the body shuts down to go to sleep. Anyway my reading indicates that this is the first step towards astral projection, or at least to get into different dimensions of consciousness. Different dimensions of creation. The experience did take me aback I'm not going to lie. And after that I finally did get to sleep though only for a measly 4 hours. Which is probably why I'm a bit tired today. It IS Thursday though and the emphasis today was computer classes for Johnnie. The first one, learning how to use the mouse better, the second one in the afternoon, more lessons on logic and creating movement with characters and actions and triggers. Johnnie did so well listening and following directions that he actually was the first one to present and got a nod from the teacher and his class for a very good job. In the meantime, after my team meeting this morning, I basically checked my email less and less and paid attention to Johnnie more and more. By 3 PM, after his computer class the day was done for both dad and son. I tried to get him to go biking with me, but with a trampoline in the living room, he was much more interested in bouncing, bouncing, bouncing than anything else, even while he was watching his videos. I did manage to get him out of the house to get dinner later on in the evening. By then I had spent most of the day doing exercises myself and I was already at 8000 steps even before we headed out to dinner. I even started cleaning up the living room too and had Johnnie help. At least we got that and the kitchen all cleaned up. And Lisa was even on time picking him up tonight. She sounded tired and off. She talked about having another long day and there was very little small talk between us tonight. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other on Saturday anyway. Candidly I wasn't paying attention. Not minutes before Johnnie had told me that he was cool hanging with his best friend. And when I asked him who that was, he said it was ME. Awww. Talk about melting my heart. Nothing Lisa could do or say would spoil that feeling from that point. Besides, I wanted to go to bed early too. But before that I watched the Dodgers vs Padres NLDS game. I was so disinterested only because the Lakers are still playing. I'm far more emotionally invested in the Lakers than I am with the Dodgers. As it was, the Dodgers won tonight, sweeping the upstart Padres and heading on to their 3rd consecutive NLCS. Wouldn't it be cool if both the Dodgers and Lakers won championships this year weeks apart? Can't get ahead of myself though. They still have to play the games. Lakers Game 5 tomorrow...
