My sleep schedule is so messed up! I've been going to sleep around 6am and waking up at 1:30 lately. Not cool! It's been at least a week like this and I'm so tired of it.
On Friday night I went out with my friend and one of his friends who is visiting from England. We went to the fish market and ordered a bottle of raki ate lots of meze and laughed a lot.
After that we decided to head to an Irish pub cause my friend was craving Guinness and I prefer cider (both are very difficult to find in Istanbul). The place we went to is tiny. It fits maybe 20 people if everyone stands. The bar tender was already wasted and spent a lot of time talking to us and trying to get us to sing. He even have us some shots. We got to this place around 1am. We decided that I should just stay out all night to fix my sleep schedule since my bus home wouldn't start again til 6am.
We hung out with a Turkish couple who were really cool people and we parted ways around 5:30. I sat in the square for a while watching the sun come up and the drunks stumbling past the workers starting their day. Watched the cleaners try to clean up the streets of broken glass, papers, garbage, and puke.
Despite it being Ramadan here the bars are still full into the early hours. Also places stay open until sahur time where people have their final meal before the sun comes up and begin fasting again. The energy of this city changes so much during Ramadan.
I made it home by 7:30 fed my animals and fell into bed. I set my alarm for 12pm. I woke up to a text from the boyfriend asking me to go to kilyos (a beach on the Black Sea) I declined saying I was dead tired and out all night. He came over around 3ish and we ordered a pizza and had some much needed sexy time!!
His mom is visiting from his hometown so we are only seeing each other every few days. But it's good cause our holiday is coming up soon! He went home at Iftar (breaking of the fast at sundown) since his mom is fasting. His friend called him before he left asking us to go to dinner with him. I ended up going with him which I thought would be weird. He and I have never hung out alone before. We had a good time though and had enough to talk about.
I got home at 10:30 and fully expected to fall asleep but it's now 7:30 am and I'm still awake!! Whyyyy?!?!
