“counting sheep” never worked for me. It kept my brain too busy for me to go to sleep. Usually, if I can’t sleep, I do exactly what the “experts” say you should NOT do. I turn on the TV for a little while or I go on the computer and play games. No exciting games – just card or mahjong or something. After 15-20 minutes of that, I go back to bed and usually drop off to sleep in just a couple minutes. Sometimes, the “experts” are full of hogwash.
I’ve decided to go with the Amish guy to do my roof work. He can do the entire roof for only about $1500 more than the other 2 bidders would charge for doing only half of the house. I’ve heard good things about this guy from some satisfied customers. It will wipe out a HUGE chunk of what I have in my checking account, but it will leave some money there and I won’t have to dip into my meager savings account. I expect work to start sometime in mid to late October – at least 2 more paychecks from now. That does not count that yesterday was payday and we got a bonus on this check My bonus was $258. That doesn’t take a huge bite of of a several thousand dollar roof job. but every little bit helps!
National College Colors Day. GO BIG RED! (and white -Badgers)
National Wildlife Day. I saw a little wildlife driving home from work last night – 2 raccoons. One in our parking lot and the other about halfway home.
National Newspaper Carrier Day
National Macadamia Nut Day
National Lazy Mom’s Day. I’m just a cat mom – no human kids, but I rather enjoy having a lazy day every now and then. I won’t be able to celebrate this today, though, because I have to work. And we’re expecting a shipment of mums. I could be in for a busy day.
I usually drop off within 5 minutes, but last night I was still awake when the A/C shut itself off after 2 hours. And most of the night. Of course, when the alarm went off at 4 I was finally fast asleep. Lots to do as soon as it gets light, 104 expected for the next several days. But the light is changing, and in about 3 weeks the aspens will start putting on their glorious show.
I use this idea to fall asleep: take deep breaths, while trying to recount all the things I did that day, one after the other. All the excitement knocks me right out :>
I don’t know what happened last night, it what sort of a shock when I realized I hadn’t looked at any comics last nite. Oh well I’m happy for the sleep. No wonder I wasn’t tired at 5:45 this morning on my walk.
I’ve never really understood how the whole counting sheep thing works. I guess the monotony eventually tires you out, or something like that. On another note, saw three robins and four rabbits while out walking today.
Yesmin update…may be last one if all goes well. My daughter went out to their house this morning with the two pork shoulders that I cooked for them over night (8 hours at 275 degrees). She gave Yesmin her insulin at noon, to remind herself about giving it…she will resume teaching her next week if all goes well, so Sarah will be in charge of meds all day during the week. Yesmin still has throat issues, first the strep throat, and then so much vomiting when she came out of her coma. Today she enjoyed cold chunks of watermelon. I am going to Target in the morning to buy a HP tablet/small computer for Yesmin so she will have one at home if she is feeling to bad to come to Sarah’s house.BTW, Yesmin has a cat, a dog and 2 wee goats and 6 chickens.
