Yes, it was a sneezy, allergyific day today.  Slept through most of it, but the awake part wasn’t fun.  Otherwise, it was a lovely day.  Sunny and cool.  I didn’t do much, since I was mostly asleep, but I had leftovers from the nice dinner I made yesterday, so I did eat well. 

Talked to my friend Tess on the phone.  She is almost finished with the table runner she is quilting for a gift.  It’s really pretty, and the book she got the pattern from was all about the Underground Railroad, and how the slaves used quilt patterns to pass messages to those escaping.  Fascinating, and so very clever. 

Kind of given up on the sleep thing and just going to bed when I’m sleepy, and not when I’m not.  Oh, well.

>Been having some sleep issues still. My body wants to sleep between 5 or 6 am and noon or later. I want it to sleep fro midnight to 8am or some other ‘Look, it’s mornig and I’m up!’ hours. I did manage to get up at 10 this morning, but then fell asleep on the recliner later. I am NOT a daytime nap person, so this irritates me.

It’s voting day, but I did not make it. The friend I was going with isn’t feeling well, and the voting place is much too far to walk. I hate to think that all the Republicans will be out in force, and I didn’t contribute any to getting their party out of office. Does this mean I can’t vote in November? I never quite understand the ‘you’re registered, you’re not registered’ qualifications. I was getting absentee ballots for a while, but they stopped coming.

Very slumpy today. Not enough sleep or hangover from the Benadryl I took last night. How DOES one change their body clock? I’ve tried just about everything I can think of or have read about, including staying up for 36 hours. Didn’t work.

It’s a gray and coolish day. You can really feel Autumn now, especially in the evenings. It’s my favorite time of the year.

I can’t find the link to post a picture. It vanished. So that’s the name of that tune. My keyboard has some issues with N, M and on to the right, so if letters are missing, that’s why.

>I had a very good day. That’s Gertrude, by the way. She’s not fat, but she sure is furry. Anyway, I got up at 11 or so, did my morning routine, got ready for my homemaker, and turned on the pc, of course. Homemaker came, homemaked, left, and my friend Tess came over. I took three extra-strength Excedrin, which I do when I will be walking at all. We went to Christmas Tree Shop, where I got a little bottle of citrus flavored mustard for a dollar, then to Walmart where I bought some cereal and things, a new trash bucket for the kitchen, and some filters for my Pur faucet attachment. Those things are expensive!! Then we bought Coolattas and went to her house, watched a movie, had dinner, gave her hubbies a hard time, and played on the computer. Came back here, played on the pc some more, she left, and now I am still on here at 1:20 am, when I should be in bed pretending that I can actually sleep at night. My life is so very exciting, but I do get to laugh an awful lot. Think I actually will go to bed now. I am having a good spell, without much pain and with a little bit of actual energy, so I am enjoying it as much as possible. And that’s all for today.
