The post-shopping nap Friday lasted until well after midnight, but didn't leave me rested. I got up about half past two and eventually got around to fixing dinner, which I finished a while ago, and now I'm about ready to crawl back into bed. When I get up later today I'll have a donut for the first time in almost a week. Incentive ( Read more... )

The whole morning taken up with ordering groceries from Safeway. Currently dealing with their imbecilic shopper system. They keep sending me links I can't use because their web site won't let me login with my correct email. They both demand and reject it. Does every supermarket chain have incompetent IT people? Or just the ones I patronize? Anyway ( Read more... )

Wednesday night I put a second blanket on the bed for the first time in months. I think I slept a bit better, though I was still awake for a couple of hours perusing the inner and outer darknesses. There was still some stomach discomfort, though less than the previous two nights. It might be that not eating as close to bedtime is helping a bit. I ( Read more... )

Tuesday night I went to bed early again, feeling tired and out of sorts. My afternoon trip to the mailbox had been particularly exhausting, and it took several minutes for me to catch my breath once I got back indoors. The day had ben windy, and there were dead leaves and other detritus scattered everywhere, and I think maybe a lot of the small ( Read more... )

Let's see if I can stay focused long enough to both finish and post an entry. Monday night I slept a very long time, though I can't recall just when I went to bed. I'm sure it was well before midnight, and then I didn't getup until after dawn. I did wake up a couple of times, and had a hard time getting back to sleep the second time because for the ( Read more... )

I managed to get my brain sufficiently organized to arrange for milk to be fetched Sunday. Four other items were added to my list (by me; there is no mystery list expander at large) but alas only three were in stock at Safeway, and the one that wasn't was... donuts! Now, having eaten the last stale (17 days old) donut in my possession this morning ( Read more... )

And so, to my surprise, I've survived another round of daylight saving time, and woke at what I'd thought was about four thirty this morning but the clock said was only half past three. It put me quite out of sorts, though not without a sense of relief that this moment of unwonted disruption was over until next spring. This is what happens when ( Read more... )

My milk went sour on me again. There was about a pint left in the carton, and I was starting to hope it could hold out for most of the upcoming week so I wouldn't have to pester anybody to fetch more for me or do without, but now I think I'll have to get some. Of course if I'm getting milk I should get other stuff I'm out of or low on too, but what ( Read more... )

I timed things quite badly Thursday, with the consequence that there will be disruptive spillover today. For example, I just finished Thursday dinner and now find myself unable to stay awake to write a journal entry, but then it's either too soon or too late to write one anyway, so what the hell. I'm just going to go drop a nearly-dead carcass ( ( Read more... )

Any memory of going to sleep Wednesday night has been obliterated, but I recall a couple of wakings, the last of which happened sometime after three o'clock this morning. The parts of the night when I was awake I listened carefully for sounds of rain, but heard none. Imagine my surprise when I looked out the window after dawn and saw great wet ( Read more... )
