I usually feel tired during the week because I go to bed late and wake up early. I've read somewhere that people who don't get enough sleep have shorter lives. I try to catch up on sleep on weekends which is easy because Nikki loves to sleep until late. She has a schedule but it's because her mom and dad make her go to bed by 9:30 at night when she has to go to school. But when she's on holidays she can stay up all night. Unfortunately I have no one to make me go to bed so I feel tired the next day. I don't know why is it easier for people to stay up at night when they are tired than wake up in the morning. When I was Nikki's age my parents made me go to bed at a certain time and I hated it because I always wanted to stay up and watch TV or do something else.

We were busy last weekend with gardening and planting flowers. First we went to buy all we needed like some new pots and potting mix and after that we went to buy the flowers for potting. We both chose which ones to buy. This time we also used our own compost which was fun to make. Now everything looks prettier with flowers on the windows and the balcony. She told me about her Friday date too. They don't have any plans for another date yet, or so she told me. She said they went to see Robots. The girl's name who she went with is Else and she's a year older than Nikki. I asked her if she likes Else and she said they were only friends but she was giggling when she said that so I don't know. I'm not jealous, not yet anyway. She also said they held hands but not like girlfriends or anything. I don't know what she meant by that. But whatever happens, it's good for her.

I still go to the gym too but not as often as I used to. I go once a week or sometimes twice a week. I should go more often but I like cycling more than going to the gym and now that Spring is here me and Nikki will go out with our bicycles more often.

I had a dream few weeks ago about a little girl. I don't know who the little girl was. We were hugging each other and I think it was cold and we were holding each other. Maybe I was cold and alone in my bed so I wanted a little girl to warm me up.
