Morning Thoughts

 
 
 
I just took these photos of Chico and Olive. They are both half asleep. I didn't sleep until three thirty a.m. Sometimes I have sleepless nights but I still wake up early. I hate nights like that. I toss and turn so much that both animals abandon ship and go someplace else to sleep. It is going to be a long day because I have never been able to sleep during the day. I noticed that Ghostbusters is now playing at the local theater. Maybe I will see it this afternoon. I must think of things to do that don't take too much of my limited energy.

I haven't been swimming much lately because of all the people. It is the end of summer vacation and everyone wants to get in a last fun time. So by nine thirty in the morning the pool is so crowded that I have to fight to be able to swim across the pool. Funny how people never pay attention that I am swimming laps. They just stand in front of me. I lose patience so it is better that I stay away until they all go back to school on the 22nd of this month. 

I will get on with my day now. I just wanted to check in, say hello, and wish everyone a relaxing Saturday. I know I won't be doing much today. I think the sun is coming out already. It may be a beautiful, sunny day. Wake up Chico! Wake up Olive! Olive, being a cat, sleeps most of the day, no matter what is going on around her. When I start feeling stressed out for any reason, all I have to do is look at my sleeping cat and know that all is well and I need to relax.

  1. Hi Pat,
    I can sympathize with you today. I woke up at 1:30 am with an earache and sore throat. Couldn't go back to sleep until after 5:00. Hoping the zinc-type cold medicine zaps it. Hope you get to sleep tonight.

    1. Never heard of the fresh ginger tea. Will have to try that. The zinc type medicine does help, though. Thanks! By the way, it is hot, hot, hot here. Like 100 degrees.

  3. Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight. I can nap easily, but that can mess up your sleep at night. It has been extremely hot- feeling like 110 - I have been going outside after 6pm. Everyone is walking around in slow motion. No one is hurrying when they shop - we stay in the air conditioned stores as long as possible. At least you will be able to go swimming soon. It is actually too hot for the beach here!
    Chico and Olive looked so relaxed. We should follow their example.
