1/3/25 - Donuts and Sleep

LOL, unknowingly, guess I took advantage.....tossed and turned some during night, was wide awake at 6, stayed in bed, somehow, around 7 or so, evidently dozed off, not waking til 9:30!!!! Shock.....so, I am really running late this a.m. ..........not that I have any place to go. Heck, it was 5° and has gone up to 10°....the sun came out, snowed during the night, so it sort of blinds you, sunglasses help with that, if I go out. Don't plan to, except maybe to get the mail (but despite short distance to the mail box down the road, will take the car. LOL
 
I can fall asleep easily on the love seat, but as soon as I get into the bed, forget it!

I tried sleeping on the love seat at night, but due to its length, it was not that comfortable for long. Nowhere to move, restricting.

Insomnia is the worst!
 
No one in my house slept well last night - maybe this means tonight will be better.

Snow is supposedly in the forecast so we have to chop wood this weekend. And get groceries because we were out of town for two weeks for the holidays.

Hope everyone has a great weekend
 
Like the Scout motto......BE PREPARED....Hope you get out for the grocerries first, then the wood chopping, Kris. Good Luck
 
It's sunny, but colder than forecast.

I slept a little better last night. I try to take a short nap in the afternoons because I fall
asleep watching TV in the evenings.

I had lunch with my two women friends. It's been months since we played games. We made
a date for Jan 29. I went outside when I came home and worked in the yard. I used the hoe
trying to get more pieces of concrete gone. Rain on Sunday so it will be awhile before I
get out again.

Kris, good luck getting your chores done.

Wishing everyone a good night's sleep.

This is my forecast.... happy happy joy joy......
I enjoy a good sleep, looking forward to a good night tonight.....
We have "Christmas" scheduled for tomorrow.... no idea if we will be able to have the party.....

Happy Friday
 
Kris, that's a lot to fit into one afternoon. I hope you enjoy your wood burning warmth, and that you have something else to back it up.

Kat, I wonder if you'll ever get completely rid of all the concrete. Cleaning up little bits of stuff like that is very tedious and just when you think you've gotten it all, some more shows up.

Robin, if that forecast is for tonight or tomorrow, it will be Christmasy indeed! Whether that's a good thing or not is in the mind of those who have to deal with it. Be safe. Sleet and ice are the worst!!

Wilde Woman, I wonder why it happens like that--we fall asleep on couch, love seat, or chair but then are wide awake as soon as we get into bed. Insomnia is so miserable!

Poirot, I often wake up way too early, only to eventually fall back asleep until way too late. It sure throws off getting anything done for the day. Unless you're getting something important in the mail, maybe just skip going to the mailbox? I would skip today myself except my niece stopped by and aired up two tires on my old clunker truck for me. It hasn't been driven in about two weeks so I really do need to drive it at least for a little ways. She reminds me all the time I need to do that. It's amazing the old thing even starts at all, considering the shape it's in. It's been through some very hard times and has suffered much, mostly at my hands, though unintentional.

Wilde Woman, ordinarily I will do what I can to avoid parties, festivals, etc., but a sleep festival is something I could thoroughly enjoy!

Now I have to put on some jeans and wrestle Old Brown to the mailbox and back. Then I have to cook. It was sunny and nice this morning but clouds have moved in and covered the sky with what looks like blizzard conditions but I don't think we have any precipitation in the forecast. I hope not. The forecasts have been confusing. I don't think it's supposed to turn real cold until Sunday night. It just looks cold and wintry outside.

I just got an Amazon delivery. They were using a U-Haul truck. This time of year you never know what kind it will be.
 
jUST went out for the mail.....dang cold out there, for sure. Sun left an hour or so ago, Was nice while it lasted. Looks like that cold front did arrive and is spread across the entire country...Stay warm...we got up to 10°, but have dropped down to 8 at just 4 p.m. But since it is going down to below zero (-4 is the forecast) , definitely staying put. We are in for a nasty weekend, then temps will begin to rise bit by bit, and of course, greet the expected snow. LOL
 
I probably won't know until Sunday or Monday morning what stuff is coming my way.

OC, I know I won't get all the stuff out of my yard. Today I used the hoe to scrap the
white I see out of the dirt. The area I did looks better.

rf, I'm glad you're getting some time off. Hopefully, you won't be called in.

robin, good luck with the bad weather.
 
ahhh, Robin, you are so right......tis 6 below zero here this morning........Put the fireplace on, and the small electric heater. LOL as the sun came out.
