The weather on the East Coast is finally nice! We made it! I’ve tried sleeping with the bedroom windows open this week but last night/this morning, I had to get up and close them.

PB and carrot sticks (I do have carrots at home) is appealing but as the day goes on, I feel more inclined to leave from here and go straight to the ballpark. Decision made!

WP is an incredibly light sleeper and requires the white noise thing. I'm a pretty good sleeper but have found the benefits of using the thing at bedtime actually help me sleep deeper and fall asleep faster. Now that I'm used to it, as soon as i turn it on and hear the "WHOOOOOOSH" start, I start to get sleepy. This may only become a problem in real life when I vacuum.
