Today I learned where my priorities truly lie.
Yesterday summer officially abandoned us.
Yesterday began the long, cold, dreary, dark winter ahead, with the gloomy skies and pouring rain.
It rained all day and all night- something I learned to dread. Only because it means flooding in the basement.
Yes, our basement flooded for the 10889098th time today, but this was by far the worst of them.
The flood extended all the way into the inner most corner of the room, 3 inches deep.
The worst part?
My mom discovered it 2 hours after I crawled into bed from a long night at work.
Which of course meant I had to go help haul the bazillion gallons of water out on no sleep and another night shift today.
50+ buckets of water and 10 hours later (ok, it was more like 1.5 but it felt like 10),
the basement floor could finally breathe again.
And my next thought? I can't go to work with no sleep. Maybe I should call off...
And thus I realized I valued sleep above all else in life.
Sleep or money? Sleep.
Sleep or having fun? Sleep is fun.
Sleep or food? I can dream about food in my sleep.
Sleep or looking pretty? My beauty sleep makes me pretty.
Sleep or my favorite TV show? My dreams are much more entertaining.
Yes. My sleep is not to be sacrificed. Under no circumstance.
