“The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.”
When I woke up, I looked out my bedroom window only to see another dark, dreary day. When I let Henry out, I could feel the dampness. It makes the air feel chilly. The high today will be 72˚, the low 61˚. The sun may make an appearance, but I’m skeptical.
I love reading, and, lately, I have spend days reading. Sometimes I read in bed while other times I read downstairs hoping to get tired enough to go to bed.
I woke this morning after 10 because I heard the phone ring. I had gone to bed close to 2. That seems to happen most days now.
I don’t seem to eat whole meals anymore. I tend to graze. Part of the reason is I am too lazy to cook. Another reason is I forget to take anything out of the freezer, filled with mostly chicken and ground beef. I could make a meatloaf, but then I’d have to walk to the kitchen, open the freezer, hunt around until I find the ground beef then put everything back then get the meat ready. I’m tired just thinking about it, and I haven’t even mentioned the potatoes.
I’ve got to do my wash. The hall is cluttered with pillow cases filled with laundry. They will soon overrun the house.
Henry looks out the front door in vain. He is ready to bark incessantly when someone walks by, but foot traffic has been almost nonexistent. Henry is so quiet I keep checking that he is okay, but just a short while back, he did have a throat growl but no bark.
Late night commercials are for drugs, chairs that lift you so you can stand up, a stair rider so you don’t have to climb, walk-in bathrooms and life insurance. I swear all of those commercials are aimed me, at my age. I guess many of us suffer from age group insomnia.
Mostly I am an optimist, and I always think hope sides with me for without hope the world is a scary place.

Choosing meals is currently easy. Sour cherry compote, sour cherry cake, sour cherry yoghurt, sour cherry pancakes,… Our tree has so many cherries again that it’s impossible to pick and eat them all. Please send hungry birds.
Greetings from a pessimistic nightowl.

Birgit,
I am not a cherry fan so I’d still be stuck trying to figure out what to eat for dinner despite the bountiful crop of cherries.
Lately I have given way to pessimism, brought about by where my country is headed with this president. Please, God, don’t let him win reelection.

My freezer is empty, I defrosted it yesterday and it contained over 7 liters of frozen water 🙂 🙂 It didn’t look that much to be honest. Now I can start to fill it up again.
I was thinking about buying all Woodhouse books but haven’t come that far yet, instead I’ve bought a “new” used Iphone (the first Iphone for me) and a used stationary computer together with a screen and keyboard. All that for less than a new mobile phone and none of it is older than two years 🙂
Chilly but sunny here this morning, clouds and rain will arrive later today though. I’m not surprised e get all this rain falling, after all I’ve my vacation now 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.

Christer,
I have far too much in my freezer, but I did take out some sauce, marinara I’d made earlier. It was delicious with penne. Today I haven’t had anything yet. I thought I might order, but now I’m leaning toward an egg sandwich on toasted bread. I’ll take out some heat for tomorrow. I also need to shop for dog food and cat food.
I think you did really well in your purchases. It is what your money can buy you look for. You got a lot.
We didn’t get sun yesterday until late afternoon. Today has been sunny all day but chilly. I had to shut my windows.
I’m sorry for the rain on your vacation!
