I’m so lethargic: Lack of sleep and it feels like a sauna outdoors!! TV weatherman said “Feels like one-hundred degrees.”  (Justification for hours on the computer?)

The sad recent anniversary prompted me to “work” with my Quaker ancestry (on Ancestry.com). The families had been documented several years ago but new records available .

In many respects, via Ancestry, I am “traveling” again as I reflect on my experiences. In 1992 I traveled from Southern California to Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, for a Coffin Family Reunion. I did research in addition to visiting historic sites. (See a copy of the book I wrote about that experience.) Subsequent travels took me to Fountain City, Indiana, and the home of Levi Coffin (“President” of the Underground Railroad). ~~ My travels were/are an asset as I document individuals in my “tree.” So many errors have appeared in “other individual” Ancestry member family trees. I talk to my computer and say “Been there, done that.”  That person didn’t marry in (example) California (their entire life is North Carolina). ~~ I did “research”; I don’t “copy”….

While living in North Carolina, I also researched my Quaker ancestors in Guilford County.

days in P.J.s

Two Melatonin gummies, two hours sleep.

.

Wide awake at 2:00 AM!!

Equals five hours sleep.

TV weatherman said “same-o, same-o.” That in reference to his earlier comment: “It may be October but still feels like August.”

That’s my statement for today “same-o, same-o.” 

[ same old same old

The accompanying image was found during a search of  “clip art” for “same-o, same-o.”  I was hesitant to use in earlier blog message because the hand gesture might be offensive. I’m curious… so I searched Google in an effort to find an answer. Frittered away a lot of time but no answer. (A lot of sign language web sites.)

My sincere apology if an offensive gesture.

You’re familiar with NBC Dateline and ABC Nightline?! Awake during the night, I decided to title this blog message “TEX Noteline.” (TEX for Texas.)

Two Melatonin gummies chewed just before ten PM but I was still awake at 11:00, and 12:00. Then brief sleep but awake at 1:08 AM. Another brief sleep but awake at 2:06. Still awake at 2:32 but sometime thereafter fell asleep until 4:11 AM. Another brief sleep until 5:24. My body (or brain) then indicated “stop the marry-go-round” and get off (get up). “Up” at 6:30 and coffee will be ready soon. I’m yawning repeatedly and rubbing my sleepy eyes.

“Coffee” yes, but no caffeine after ten yesterday morning. I took my many supplements but was cautious about food intake. Could restaurant-style tortilla chips be the culprit? I had some with a sandwich at noon. What ingredient am I ingesting that is stronger than the sleep aid Melatonin??

Change of topic: Weather. Yesterday the TV meteorologist said “It may be October but still feels like August.”  The recent rain soaked the soil and contributes to the humidity.

One year anniversary of mass murder of concertgoers in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Stephen Paddock is my eighth cousin.

Good and bad ancestors on my family tree. Here is a blog message with details about several family members.

Two Melatonin about 8:45 PM; in bed at 9:00 PM. Must have quickly fallen asleep but awake at 10:15.  During the night, I documented “awake” times: 12:37, 1:25, 2:17, and 3:34. Although interrupted sleep, I’m glad to report I feel capable of tackling the challenges of the day!! For the record: No supplements yesterday, very selective diet, limited time at the computer.  Every effort to prevent another “zombie” night and day.
