My Single Mom Life

Another night of insomnia just passed, the sun is coming up, another blinding sunny and hot day.
A perfect day to stay inside and try to get some rest later on.
Just take a small nap, I should probably try for more than a few hours, but then I won't be able to try and sleep tonight.

But it was a good thing I was wide awake again, my friend Dustin called around 2am, his friend had called him, a bit too inebriated to drive home, so Dustin took a cab over to the bar to pick him and his car up because his friend didn't want to leave his car in the bar parking lot all night, and then Dustin was gonna drive home and bring his friend his car in the morning.
Problem!
The car is a 2007 Nissan Altima, it has that whole push button key fob power start stuff, so when Dustin drove his friend home and dropped him off, his friend took the key fob in the house.
The car will run without the key in the ignition, but the key fob/key has to be within 6 feet of the car or else it drops to idle and you end up only being able to drive a bit further before it stops.

Yup, you guessed it!
When he dropped his friend off at home, his friend had the key fob/key in his pocket, so Dustin was only able to drive about 2.5 miles before the car dropped to idle and he needed a place to go quickly.
His friend lives over here near us, so Dustin called and apologized like crazy for waking me if he did, but he knows I don't sleep hardly ever, so I told him if he can get the car here to come here, I'd turn the porch light on.
He was able to make it here, so I let him crash on the couch for the night, but we stayed up just talking about life and stuff all night.
He called his friend before he went to sleep and told him what was going on and that his friend would need to get here in the morning, and he did.
He must live super close by, because he called Dustin around 6:15, said he was on the way, and just 10 minutes later he was here, and he had walked.
Sebastian was awake all night with us, Mark had gone to sleep around 10pm or so, he said he was just really tired after that whole thunderstorm fright we had last night.

Around 5am, I made some cinnamon rolls for all of us in the NuWave Oven, it was my first time making them in it, but they came out perfect because I figured out how to cook them exactly the right way.
You use your two 8-inch round cake pans, spray some Pam onto both so the rolls don't stick, and in one of the pans, place all of the rolls top side down.
You know it's top side because they put all of the extra cinnamon on the top side.
Place the cake pan in the middle on top of your 4-inch rack, and put the power head dome on.
Press the cooking power button once for high power, (350 degrees), then press the cooking time button, then the # 4, then press start.
When the 4 minutes has ended, remove the dome, and then take your other 8-inch cake pan that you got ready, and place it open side on top, and then flip the pans over dumping the rolls from the bottom pan to the top pan, and now the tops of the cinnamon rolls are right side up.
Place this pan in the middle of the 4-inch cooking rack, put the power head dome on, press cooking power once for high power, then cooking time once, then the #4, and press start.

They came out soooo good!
They actually came out better than they normally do in the regular oven.
Dustin was really surprised just how well it cooks and now bakes, he's more amazed with it every time he sees it or tastes the food I cook with it.
A few of the times he's come over to just say hello, I've just gotten done making something, and I always offer my guests some of what we have, and he loves my cooking, and the NuWave is seriously making me an even better cook, and now I'm learning to bake in it.
I will have to check the recipe books to see if we can make brownies in it.

Ok, I am going to try and lay down, get a short nap in today, no longer than 3 hours.
Anything longer than that if I fall asleep, and I won't be able to fall asleep again for another full sleep cycle.
later days!
