A Quiet Evening

We’re having a quiet evening. Dear Husband is watching “Cast Away,” and surfing the t.v. guide. I’m going to finish a book this evening.
I was out late this morning for a hair appointment, and returned home about 12:30. We had lunch and I went to sit in the rocker for a few moments. Right…a few moments! I was out until 4:30!
I’m trying to decide just why I’ve needed so much daytime sleep lately. There are a number of possibilities. I’m trying to shift around to earlier morning hours. By itself that wouldn’t be a problem, but I need to be asleep by 9:00 at night to get up at 5:00 the next morning. I’m getting the early morning part down, but I need to work on getting to bed earlier. To that end, I’m going to ask my stepson for lessons on how to tape programs using our VCR.
It’s possible that the medication I take for neuropathy is working against me when I’m short on sleep. I tend to think it aggravates an existing situation rather than being the primary cause. Should I have to increase the dosage, I’d expect to be snoosey for a while, but I’ve been at a static dosage for some time.
It’s very possible with the bitter cold and snow that I’m not getting enough exercise. The exercise might tire me out enough to put me in bed at the right time, whether there was a program I wanted to see or not, so I need to get to a regular daily plan.
So….I’m trying to put it all together. I figure that it’s going to be small changes here and there that lead to a better life. It would be nice to have things straightened out soon, so that I have the energy to get out and work on the grounds as the weather improves.

A New Food Processor

Lesson #1
Don’t put onion, celery, and carrots in the container and chop all at once. Chop each type of veggie separately.
Lesson #2
Pulse, don’t puree the onion, celery and carrots for the minestrone soup.

Someone Had to Uphold the Honor of the Family!


You Are 0% Massachusetts


You Yankees loving homo! You probably think Starbucks coffee tastes better than Dunkin Donuts.

I’ve been adopted into the BogieWichiDudeCopCar family. I noticed over at Bogie’s that she is disgustingly Massachusetts oriented, so I went to take the test to save the family honor.
Ya don’t get any better than THIS, Bogie! *G*
