Fade to black...

Not even 6 PM and I'm exhausted, fading fast. Fading...


"All right,' said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone. `Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,' thought Alice; `but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!'

Spraying to all fields

I keep wondering if "it" was the knee surgery this summer, or the resulting infection, or maybe my first flu shot ever? Or maybe there is no "it?"


I have taken Concerta for years for ADD with no ill effects. Take it now and it is a ticket to the all-night awake-a-thon!

Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight

I'm not telling you folks anything you don't know, but for me, a huge adjustment for me has been the isolating aspect of it. Staying home while the family goes off to see a musical, out to see a movie when I'm just too tired to go. Hard to keep the spirits up!

I like dreamin'

NOT because dreamin' can make you mine (now THERE is an obscure song reference!) but because dreams = REM sleep. Dreams have been few and far between lately.


I'm making some changes. Trying to ease into sleep with some tea and some meditation. I do so enjoy a nice wine with dinner some days, but for the time being--I find I sleep better without alcohol.


Had a great Thanksgiving day, but Friday was an exhausted, painful train wreck.

Details, details

1) Had a rheumatogist recommended to me. Actually, she is the spouse of Peg's OB/Gyn. Called for an appointment, and I'm all set for the practice's first opening--IN JANUARY!!!


2) The little things. We are such creatures of habit. I have slept on my side since time immemorial, and on the left side of the bed since the 1982 nuptials. Problem--my right shoulder and hip are incredibly painful. It is VERY difficult to adapt those sleeping habits, some 30 years old, some a lifetime.

A new world's record!!!

I went to bed at 5:40 PM last night.

Thanks!

Despite hanging out with my new friend, I do have SO very much to be thankful for!
