It’s been weeks since I went to bed and slept soundly through until morning.<\/p>\nIt’s been weeks since I went to bed and slept soundly through until morning.<\/p>\n
The sleep application running on my phone shows the disruptions and restlessness much more clearly than I actually recall being awake.<\/p>\n
It’s amazing how lack of sleep makes ya feel like crap. In my case I start to feel really stupid and have a hard time keeping any single thought in my head. I become scattered and then I get really quiet. <\/p>\n
But last night was bliss!<\/p>\n
I went to bed, fell asleep immediately. I woke up to the pink blush of the sunrise across the mountain and actually felt ready to get up and start my day. <\/p>\n
I’ve been doing chores and enjoying<\/em> them. (God, I must be sick!)<\/p>\n Thursday, Friday, and yesterday I felt poorly. I wondered if I’d caught the Covid Boogyman virus. I had no fever and I could still taste & smell and had no other symptoms. So I took it easy and kept a watchful eye on my stats. With all the media attention and masked up people, it was easy to wonder if I’d caught IT and was I gonna die.<\/p>\n My 80 something year old mother is panicking on the other side of the country for the same reasons. I’d spoken to her on Thursday and did my level best to hide that I wasn’t feeling well.<\/p>\n I did tell her that she should turn off the steady diet of CNN but she was having none of that. She told me that apparently some of my brother-in-laws relatives died of Covid.<\/p>\n They were in their 80s and honestly I question if it was Covid or just old age. I did my best to calm her down. Thankfully, the conversation was short. Between the strain of creating the illusion that I was fine and her going on & on about Covid I was pretty short on patience.<\/p>\n This morning I feel pretty much normal. I’m a little stiff from the lack of activity over the past few days, but my head is clear. (I can add 2+2 without a calculator so that’s a plus.<\/em>)<\/p>\n Been going through the accumulated email catching up. More properly, I’ve been going through the email and deleting the ton of junk mail that the filters missed. It’s funny, only about 1 in 10 emails actually has anything important in it.<\/p>\n It’s hard to believe that we’ve already gotten through almost all of July. <\/p>\n Time feels like it’s stopped, but the days on the calendar have flown by. I guess that’s a function of the news not really changing. I mean there really hasn’t been much different since about April. I’m finding it easy to lose days and entire weeks.<\/p>\n Ah well, off to complete some more chores that have backed up.<\/p>\n Hope you’re all having a great Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been weeks since I went to bed and slept soundly through until morning.
