10-13-2026 — What a Summer Day

Howdy all. Sleeping has been evading me lately. And worse, my order for GABA from Amazon, keeps getting delayed. GABA doesn’t force sleep on me, nor really helps much other than its ability to make me less anxious about not sleeping. I think I wrote a year or so ago, that what I really notice is the little things, like being able to roll over, and face away from the door, while trying to fall asleep. I don’t find myself jumping at every sound, worrying that someone is coming in the bedroom to kill me.. Hey, bad memories from childhood, are tough to eliminate.

Anyway, last night I had my first night cocoa of the season.   I was totally exhausted all day.  I couldn’t convince myself to do anything.   Anyway, I hoped a little moonbeam hot chocolate would trigger some sleep. It did not really work. I got like two 30 minute “outages” in about 10 hours of laying in bed.

MoonBeam hot chocolate has a variety of so-called sleep inducing herbals. It usually helps. But not last night.

However, since I cleaned the Keurig for the season, I did a nice Holiday Spice coffee this morning — with a little added Fiber/Protein powder. Just trying to get “going” for the day.

It was a rainy start for the day early on. But look at this forecast.

82-84 is like 20-25 degrees above the average high for this day of the year, here in Madison.

But look what is coming this weekend.

Some porncasters are suggesting Lake Effect Snow flurries here and to the south. Yuck

I really need to get a few things done outside in the next week. But at the moment, my energy level is so low, that I really don’t even want to come down the stairs each morning. Good thing I have Kitty to meow at me wanting breakfast and company.

Oh, my DPUX battery is still sitting in its box on the lift dolly. I haven’t opened it yet. The mere thought of trying to lift it out of the box is tiring. And other projects are piling up. If I am unsuccessful this week in getting on them, I will have to hire a handyman or handy person to get it done.

I didn’t mention the “What” that is keeping me awake. It is the bad dreams from the anxiety of trying to survive in this political/social/financial failure of the times. I sure hope, HOPE, arrives with the general election. I just need a little to help me get back to being able to Enjoy Life
