Two 10 mg Melatonin at ten PM; no sleep. Two 10 mg Melatonin at twelve midnight; no sleep. An entire night without sleep!! Hour after hour, checking the clock. A parade of thoughts: Safe travel for Sam; high electric bill due to A/C day and night; shopping list (need “anti-itch” cream); etc., etc. This message composed during the night–in my mind.

“Mud”  is another name for cement (right?) and I was “playing”  with fifty pounds. I chose to work on a semi-strenuous project rather than think about how tired and sleepy from wide-awake night. The Shepherd’s Hook did not sell at the yard sale so I decided to add it to my garden (again). I had a very small amount of cement left over so created a very small base for second Shepherd’s Hook (add more cement in the future). My rational: I may move to a location without trees so I’ll “need”  Shepherd’s Hooks for bird feeders and hanging baskets. (I hope and pray I don’t have to move again but that’s a possibility before the end of the year. Meanwhile, I maintain the property as though I own it.) ~~ A productive morning (imho).

Yesterday–all morning–I was able to work outdoors. Not so this morning!! That seventy-four degrees is deceiving because “feels like”  walking into an oven. ~~ Check back; more later.

I’m such a contradiction!! It’s the first day of June and I have the habit of fertilizing my plants on the first. So-o-o-o, nutrients for my plants. ~~ Also doing laundry so I’m indoors/outdoors.
