► After barely sleeping Thursday and Friday night, I suppose I really needed to crash. I was up all last night and didn't fall sleep until some time between 8:00am and 9:00am this morning. It was almost 4:00pm when I woke up, puttered around for about an hour, and then fell asleep for a further 3 hours ( Read more... )

► No doubt it was because I was so worried about going to the electric company and the disability pension office today, but I had a horrible time trying to sleep last night. It wasn't until after 3:00am that I finally fell asleep only to toss and turn and finally wake up around 5:30am. I spent the rest of the morning feeling exhausted yet wire, ( Read more... )

► Yesterday certainly was a full day, if I may say so. From the apartment to Michael's and PetSmart on the North end of town, on to my grandmother's on the West end, then downtown to the bank and comic book shop, back to my grandmother's, then up around to Bulk Barn on down to Walmart and finally Food Basics before finally heading back to the ( Read more... )

I had borrowed them early in the winter and have had them since then because of all the packing and space issues as Dad and Clare moved to their new condo.

The book is a ghost thriller by Dean Koontz titled What the Night Knows. I was just finally getting used to Koontz's odd purple prose phrasing when I finally hit a section where the main character's ( Read more... )

► My grandmother, Mum, was released from the hospital today. The endoscopy and another ultrasound didn't find anything, but the doctor's still think her upper abdominal pain is coming from her liver. My aunt told me she has an appointment in a month to see a specialist, and as of right now she seems to not be in immediate danger. I hope not.

► In the past I believe I've mentioned that I occasionally suffer from bouts of sleep paralysis, usually experiencing an episode as frequently as once every few weeks or as infrequently as every couple of months. For those who don't know, when you fall asleep your brain sends signals to your muscle groups in your arms, legs, and torso effectively ( Read more... )

► Random thoughts for today:► Visited my grandmother (Nanny) today. Seems she forgot about my birthday last weekend (I was not about to bring it up myself). It's understandable since she herself is 91 and she's been preoccupied with her sister's 90th birthday party on Sunday.

► I posted on my Facebook wall: I don't think God should have to ( Read more... )

► I can't really think of anything new to say today, other than my comments on the links below. So here's a list of movies I want to get on DVD but have so far been unable to find let alone get. This isn't meant as an exhaustive on exclusive list, but merely a list of movies I can remember right now that I'd really want.► Gentlemen Broncs
