01-06-2025 — Shake and Bake

Howdy all. The temperature outside is 38 degrees, and it will be within a few degrees of that today, with rain.  But the 50s are possible on Thursday through Saturday, with rains and lots of big winds again.  Ugh. Oh and the air quality has been poor for last couple of days.  

And just to make sure we all know living in this area sucks, around midnight, there was another earthquake centered in Madison.  

I was almost asleep, and at first I thought Kitty was jumping on the bed.  Nope, but she came into the room shortly after. I’ll have my sleep shaken, not stirred.  

My sleep gummy saga continues.  Having taken one earlier yesterday, about 6-6:30 pm, it finally kicked in closer to 9-9:30.  I think it may have been quicker because I only had liquids (cup of soup for dinner) in the stomach. It started, not with me being drowsy, but with a few glitches in the Matrix.  

I found myself paying attention to the colors I could see with my eyes closed.  And, even though I usually have trouble “seeing” images in my mind, I conjured a lovely beach scene, complete with waves and clouds moving, in almost true colors. My brain quickly shut down that nonsense for what it was, and went back to focusing on a dozen other things.  

Sleep wasn’t on the agenda until the midnight hours. I did get a few half hours of and on, up to 7:30 am.  Not too great. And I am a touch groggy this morning.

Not the right way to Enjoy Life
