Up really early
I lay down about 10-30 last night. No, aybe about 10. I think I woke up about 3-40 or so. Which was almost 6 hours sleep. I usually turn in about 11 or closer to midnight and am up by 7 but I was very tired for some reason last evening.
Anyway, I just lay there staring at the ceiling. I decided to get up since I wasn't really accomplishing anything. Oh, I finished Insomnia yesterday and started The Shining. I'm on chapter 9 now. Jack and his family have just arrived at the Overlook hotel and they're going to get the grand tour when I start reading again.
I haven't had coffee yet because I've got to go to Walmart in a bit and get some jugs of their spring water they've got on sale. Have I posted about how our coffee doesn't taste good if I use our tap water? My grandma just laughs when I tell her about that. She says I'm too picky, but it's true. I think coffee tastes so much better if you use bottled water to make it. But if you got artesian well water, then there's no need for the bottled stuff. Dad's is wonderful in Memphis since he's got artesian. I can taste the chemicals they use to purify the water here in Ar. I mean, I drink tap water all the time here in Ar, but if I want coffee, I use bottled. Weird, huh?
As for supper today, I know I said I was doing casserole yesterday, but I might wait til next weekend. I did have two hamburger patties yesterday and I'd rather not eat red meat 2 days in a row. I might just do chicken today. Thinking about doing vegetable soup tomorrow and Tuesday though. I need the practice when it comes to making home made soup anyway. I might cave and put a little hamburger in the soup. I haven't made up my mind yet.
Well, I suppose I'll get back to The Shining now. It's closing day at the Overlook, and Olan the snooty manager has places to go and things to do, so best not waste his time. ch. 9 always makes me hungry because Halaran the cook gives Wendy Torence a tour of the huge fridge in the kitchen of the hotel. Or maybe that's in chapter 10. I don't remember. It's coming up shortly, that's all I know.
