It's 2:30 in the AM and I can't sleep. Nothing new about this. Very typical, in fact. Rarely do I get a good, complete night's sleep--the kind you don't want to wake up from it feels so deliciously good.
My eye still itches--actually both do. I try not to scratch but the feeling is almost always overwhelming and I give in. Of course, that only serves to make it worse.
Walked for about 1/2 hr. yesterday, had breakfast and then worked in the garden for about another 1-1/2 hrs. trying to bring it back from the jungle that has enclosed it this summer. Still not completely finished with the first row of blackberries! Hope to work on it more tomorrow.
Found out Dad has to have an angiogram. Think he's real concerned. I'm trying to keep a low profile on it. I've been through a lot of surgeries but this is new for him. Makes me glad I made him go to the dr. Felt he'd been sleeping too much--see above!--and thought he should go in. We'll know more tomorrow about when it's scheduled.
Taking Chloe in to be spayed later today. Puppy training starts on the 18th. THINK she's a good dog but it's been a long time since I've been around a puppy! She sure has a lot of energy!
Jeff came to pick up their supper tonight and looked happy to get it. Made pork chops, brown rice (that I later let soak in the pork chop "juice", a fruit compote of apples, apricots and raisins, broccoli and made some tiny graham cracker sandwiches w/frosting and also sent him home with some leftover roll-ups from after-care the night before.
Feels good to be cooking like that again. There's something about cooking that makes me feel complete. Nothing like feeding people. And when I get to try new recipes, it keeps me alive. The kids want to pay me for this but I don't know what to do--it's good therapy for me too. And we eat better as well.
Spent the rest of the day playing the new game--I'm sure it's a waste of time--so many other things to do! But that's what happened.
Enough for today. Hope you see this Jordan. Can't seem to find your new blog.
Peace,

Hey' Mom,
Looks like you found my blog after all. I got most of this news over the phone with you. But I am glad you are doing it and hope you keep it up!
Sorry to here you are not sleeping so well. Have you spoke to your doctor about this?
I used to have a similar problem. mainly from being so wound up all of the time. There are some non-medicative ways to address this, let me know if you are interested.
I am looking forward to your next post!
Love,
Jordan
