I Wish I Could sleep In

Jeremy M Thompson • August 9, 2024

The 215th One 8/9/24

I hope you enjoy these. For anyone who doesnt know,this is a year long project for myself where I write a blog entry a day. The artwork is something I did last year. Before 1/3/23 I had never drawn one thing in my entire life and then one day I decided to teach myself to draw and drew like 350 pictures last year. It's not just for me but also for Swift Moves in hopes of getting our rankings up on search engines. Does it work? Who knows. If anyone enjoys the artwork I post and wants me to send them an original, let me know and I'll send it to you in a frame.

I've been alive 16,751 days, so that means I've woken up from the previous night's sleep about 16,748 times (sometimes you gotta go all night, you know work and stuff.) What I still think about and don't understand is how it's still kind of hard to wake up and get out of bed. I'm still groggy no matter what time I try to roll out of bed. I'm getting up there in years and don't require as much sleep so everyday I might open my eyes at 530AM but I still just lie there because I don't want to get out of bed. Shouldn't it get easier after doing it so much?  Shouldn't I want to get out of bed at 530AM to start my day and get that extra 1.5 hours out of life? Maybe it's a mental thing. I'm getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night which seems like plenty. So from 5:30-7AM I pretty much just sit there and listen to white noise or a podcast and try to fall back to sleep but most of the time I can't. I pretty much just think about how maybe one day I can retire and not have to wake up at 7AM everyday or how I wish this was my day off. These are all very first world problems that I'm glad I have and I am very lucky to be writing about this. Have a good night's rest, I hope you read this and it makes you fall asleep because it's so boring. 

The Artwork-I'm just curious if you know who this is? By George I think you've got it-Its Curious George! I grew up just like the rest of the world having my teachers and relatives reading me this book and then gradually forgetting what it's actually about. But this drawing is rather simple and I'm happy with the way it turned out. The eyes, nose and mouth really convey how happy this guy is. What a giant smile. The feet aren't perfect but the hands look great. The colors match up well to the original. I hope you enjoy it! 

Contest-This is an ongoing contest. It's a weird thing. On 6/27/24 we started with $10 then everyday I'm adding $1. The first person to call in or comment or message gets the money. Here's the kicker. You can either call in right now and get $10 (or whatever it happens to be this day) or wait till the next day when the money goes up. I think I have like 175 days left so the pot can get up to almost $200. It's free money, it's not a scam, it's in the marketing budget. No employees or employee families are eligible. I hope you win! 

The total on 8/9/24 is $52.
