Last night was the worst nights sleep that I have had in such a long time. We were having some bad storms and I woke up twice because of that. The first time was because my stupid phone has alerts that usually don't go off well last night mine decided to go off not for a storm warning or anything but instead a stupid flood warning like seriously? That was at 3:30 took about ten minutes to go back to sleep. The second time was at 4:30 because there was a crack of lightning so loud that I feel like it could have woken the dead! I almost fell out of my bed it was so loud and scared me. It woke both Sara and I both up and so we got up and went to the living room and waited until it died down a little while we watched TV. I also woke up at 5:20 because of a bad dream, but I went back to sleep pretty quickly after that.
The rest of this day has been pretty useless. All I really have done today was lay around on the couch and watch Lie To Me, talk to some people, and read on my computer. I am trying to finish this book that I'm reading by the 10th because I am reading it as a part of a book club for Nerdfighteria. I actually really am enjoying it even though it is non-fiction and non-fiction is something that hasn't ever interested me even when I was younger. The only things I liked to read non-fiction were things about animals and sometimes those books or articles bored me. I have never unless required read a non-fiction that was over 200 pages long. Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo though is something completely different. It makes me think about how things could be so much worse and you get an insight into other peoples lives and how much they struggle during some situations but also find little joys in some small things that other people would just take for granite like clean water. It is just an astonishing book and I would actually suggest it to other people, which like I said is something I never would have used to do with a non-fiction book ever in my entire life until right now!
I had a sandwich for lunch and then some spaghetti with olive oil and spices for dinner. I have talked on the phone with both my boyfriend and my mom. I also ran to Casey's just so I could buy myself some apple juice because it sounded really really good! Now again I am just laying on the couch watching Lie to Me, Sara will be home soon, and in a little bit I will probably read some more of my book so that I can finish it since I have about 100 pages left still and then I will talk to my boyfriend a little bit on either Skype of the phone again. I really don't have that exciting of a life. Though one reason I didn't do anything tonight was because I thought that I might have to go to work for an hour but I ended up not having too which I really don't mind.
