zzZzzzZzzz -- I give up

28.IX.07 - MoM


I do hope you are feeling so very much better, Suzy. Wouldn't it would be great if you could catch up on all that sleep that you have been missing.

It looks as if I will be able to send again, tonight. Thanks, Suzy I presume you took care of it even as bad as you felt as I forgot to tell Sandy about it when she was here for a little bit this afternoon. I kept her busy with things like finding my distance glasses that had fallen off the table by my chair*, a battery operated lamp switch and other little things. Now that I have my new system for my stuff on the table by my chair, I should not have that problem anymore. *Kay had found them in the tangles mess of cords on the other side of my chair once when they were here.

I used my new indoor grill tonight and I am very pleased with it. I did a little beef tenderloin steak. It was nicely brown on the outside and amazingly evenly pink all through the inside. The recipe that came with suggested 6 minutes a side and I did 5 and it was just right for me. There was no fat on the little steak. Even if there had been, I don't think there would have been much smoke. It was so easy to clean up after. I think it is going to add some more variety to my meals, I hope I can clear out more of my freezer stuff. It is going to be great for chicken and might take the place of the Rotiss chickens.

It is 8 p.m., and I can't stay awake another minute without a very quick nap. zzZzzZzz!. Okay! Now I can get back on track for a little while longer although I am yawning. After I woke up, FL began to prod me to finish up the little bit of kitchen stuff that was left, and I gave in. It only took about 10 minutes. I am delighted at how easy the grill clean up was.

During last night, I had my usual wakeful time and I was ready to go to sleep again then when I tried to lean back in my recliner, it wouldn't go into the usual almost flat mode. I checked all around it as well as I could in my current condition and coulc not find anything stopping it. Then, I tried DoD's chair and that would not work either. I just didn't have the push to get all the things I seem to think I need around me transferred to my real bed for the short time that I am able to be comfortable there. After a little Freecell, I got sleepy enough to try it in semi-reclining position. Thank goodness, I was tired enough to get to sleep. It was not easy when the alarm went off, but it was my Paige cleaning day so I wanted to get my tea, cookies, banana and watermelon out of the way before she came.

I continued with a another day and a full compliment of stickers. That began the 5th week, with only the mini-vac missing. Just now I happened to touch my face and was pleased at how much smoother it feels instead of like a drying prune.

More unplanned zzZzzZzz. I that means I have to give in to sleep. Now, I suppose that I have taken the edge off, but I am going to sign off and try.
