Checky-mark.<\/p>\n<p>Last night we had to pack, but friends from CA flew into town and we wanted to meet and greet them, since we hadn&#8217;t seen them in a while. That pushed out our other activities that night and we only got to bed by 1am. 5hours of sleep should suffice for one night.<\/p>\n<p>It was my night to watch over RoRo (we take turns)\u00a0&#8211; usually not a big deal. Normally he\u00a0sleeps through the night and wakes up around 6am, which is when I wanted to get up anyway. But the baby had different plans this time. He woke up at 3:30a and refused to go back to sleep until 4:50a. I tried every trick in the bag and nothing worked. That has never happened before. I went back to sleep and delayed my alarm to 6:40a, but\u00a0getting up in the morning\u00a0was torture nevertheless. With the leftovers of\u00a0cold that I&#8217;ve been\u00a0battling over the last three weeks I was in everything but good spirits this morning. But the dogs had to be dropped off and I had to go to work.<\/p>\n<p>When I showed up at our friends place who&#8217;ll watch the dogs I rang the door bell of their neighbors &#8211; they weren&#8217;t\u00a0too happy. On the way to work my check engine light on the Explorer came on again, but I made it to work &#8211; clunker, clunker!<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s only Friday morning. Let&#8217;s see what the rest of the week-end will bring.
