By the Numbers -Take 2

Hey there! Happy Tuesday! Did you get slammed with snow this weekend? I… did not! Chicago hasn’t gotten a whole lot of snow (or too much extreme cold) this year, and I can’t say I’m unhappy about it. Snow is pretty for five seconds and a pain for a lot longer than that. Anyhow, I think I owe you a little bit of a weekend recap. Not because it was a particularly exciting one, but just because that’s what I do. It’s been a while since I’ve broken it down by the numbers, so let’s do that, shall we?

5: Hours I spent at Hyatt Place on Friday before heading to CorePower for a C2 class that I didn’t end up taking. More on that…

1.5: Migraine days I had this weekend. I had one Friday night (hence the skipping yoga). Ugh. I hadn’t had a real migraine since O-Week in September. Seriously no fun. Also, when you wear sunglasses inside at college, people don’t readily believe it’s because you have a migraine. I tried and failed to sleep it off on Friday night, which led to another migraine day on Saturday.

3: Sets of review problems I did Saturday in preparation for my statistics midterm on Thursday.

8: Banana Nut Butter Muffins I ate while doing aforementioned stat review. 

{That times 8}

I would be embarrassed, but they’re freaking delicious. (Might’ve eaten one while writing this, too. Maybe.)

2: Zzzquil pills I took at 5:00 pm on Saturday. I was exhausted and I ran out of stat problems to do. I had no other obligations. I was determined to try to sleep. So, I ate a super-early dinner and snacked a little and hoped for the best. I know I can’t take Zzzquil with any regularity because I need to allow a long time for sleeping. Otherwise, I just feel foggy for the entire next day. But I had time on Saturday.

45: Minutes between taking the Zzzquil and starting to feel its effects. I was talking to a friend and slowly started putting my head on the table. She left me to get ready for bed.

12: Hours I slept on Zzzquil. 6:00 pm to 6:00 am. Was it perfect sleep? No. Was it as good as natural sleep? Probably not. But I totally needed it, either way.

52: Notifications/semi-important emails/texts I awoke to on Sunday morning. Including texts from friends who figured I’d be awake at normals times, like 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm. Fortunately, nothing urgent.

18: Stat problems I worked through on Sunday. A new problem set was posted while I slept.

10: “Be Like Bill” trials I ran for myself during a study break. This fact is mildly embarrassing, but hey.

Most of them were accurate. This one… not so much. ?

15: Recipe ideas I wrote in my planner this weekend.

0: Idea of when I’m going to find time to test them. Midterm season starts this week and pretty much lasts a month. Quarters move fast, folks!

How was your weekend?
