I sure am getting annoyed with the sleeping issues I've had these past years. I know it goes along with the age thing but it's still hard to navigate a lot of the time. Night before last, I hit the sack at 8:30 and was soooo tired. After two hours of turning back and forth and watching the clock, I realized I wasn't going to drop off the way I usually do. But I stayed put. I was still tired enough I didn't want to get out of bed. Last night was kind of the same thing. In bed by 9:30 and too tired to even try and read a bit. THREE hours later I was still not sleeping but still too tired to get up. What's going on here?! At 3 a.m. I almost got up as I felt wide awake and alert but I didn't want to start that routine so I stayed in bed. I think I probably dropped off at 5 and when I woke up a little before 8, I was so groggy and listless, it was all I could do to throw my legs over the side of the bed and limp into the bathroom. Good lord! And oh, those damn nightmares that you wake up to in the early hours and still remember for a bit. If there's a hell, I sometimes think our nighttime visits into dreamland are it.
It's 9 a.m. now and I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee determined to rejoin the waking world. Not a heck of a lot on my agenda today, though. I may hit the library to read past issues of the Leader and see what free magazines they have in the lobby. I plan on moving a few things out of the living room today and tomorrow to make it as empty as possible for the flooring guys due on Monday morning. I was told they needed to bring the hardwood flooring to sit inside the house a few days to warm up but I haven't heard anymore about that so I don't really know if they're working Monday or not. I'm heading into Port Ludlow at any rate. Have a retirement luncheon meeting to attend as we prepare for our annual get together of mill folks. I always like going as it's one place (like alumni) where I know most of the people.
Had an ultrasound yesterday morning. All week long I thought it was at 8:45 but when I get there, I find it's at 9:45. I was sure they made a mistake (it's never me) but alas, when I got home and looked at the calendar, there it was --9:30. Gettin' old. I went to Rite Aid to pick up a prescription that I was told would be ready on Wednesday. The clerk (very rude) said it wasn't ready and I'd have to wait a half hour. Also told me my second prescription wasn't ready either. I didn't have a second prescription and when I tried to ask her why she thought I needed the second one, she got even ruder. Come to find out, this practice is not unusual with them. Not happy. When I went back again, the pharmacist was very nice so that eased my irritation some. I think just about every place in town where you need to get prescriptions there are issues. And not just in P.A. either. Seems to be that way all over.
Well, this a lame and boring post today but then I've only been up an hour and it is boring in this room. I'll try to do better another day.
