This morning, more research regarding the ancestry of “Mr. Red.” In my humble opinion, too much inaccurate information. I say “inaccurate” because of obvious (to me) inconsistent dates.

Yesterday, many hours were devoted to the documentation of information, in the tree, in the Gallery for “Mr. Red.” A kind, thoughtful, considerate, cousin has provided volumes of valuable information about DNA. I copied the information from email messages… Details regarding Big-Y-DNA have been extremely confusing to me and I’m extremely grateful for explanations. ~~ Without a lot of documentation on this blog, I continue to “work” on the family tree for the owner-manager of this RV Park. Way back when… I hit the proverbial “brick wall” and that has me frustrated about the accurate identity of one of “Mr. Red’s” ancestors. I thought the Big-Y-DNA test would answer my questions. Big-Y is male lineage only. Disappointment and confusion!! ~~ Earlier blog message: Happiness is…

Desperately need sleep!! At best, four hours of sleep each night. To bed at about 10 and awake at 1:30 or 2:00. Look at the time stamp for this blog message: 3:30 AM. After an hour-and-a-half tossing and turning—in bed—I’m here “complaining”!! My most recent purchase was ZzzQuil Pure Zzzs and it is advertised (on the box) “all night, helps you fall asleep and stay asleep.” I wear a Philip Stein sleep bracelet; I have a “sound machine” turned on near my bed. ~~ I speculate that I could, would, should get a lot more things accomplished each day if I wasn’t so tired. In my humble opinion, it doesn’t require any energy to sit at the computer creating a blog message or “climbing the family tree.” ~~ I’ve procrastinated: I see the TV advertisements for Relaxium but have been “too tired” to actually phone… or order via the Internet.  ~~ Forgive me for complaining? This is my “journal” and I’m documenting my current problem.

Year after year, I’ve been prepared for the Hummingbirds. Ahead of their arrival, I’ve checked the migration patterns. Yesterday, a Hummingbird checked the area where feeders usually hang, and no feeder. I saw the little bird and said “OMG, I forgot.”   This morning, I saw another… and it prompted me to make nectar. ~~ It’s a beautiful Spring day, I should be working in the yard!!

Out of the blue, I received the “thank you” message. Most of the time—in my old age—I think I’m “good for nothing.” The word must be “out there” that Lorraine digs deep, far, and wide for information. Frequently she isn’t even related… Here is an example of a message received via Ancestry messaging. Yes, I did a quick search and “quickly” found information. Sharon didn’t give me much information—and if you look at her genealogical contributions, they are small.  ~~ I almost never check my DNA cousin connections—but I checked—and nothing located.

POSTSCRIPT @ 8:40 AM “the next day”: Below, you can read Sharon’s one-sentence reply. ~~ “Disappointment” with her reply, to put it mildly.

How do I really feel?

Earlier today, I completed the following collage. Again, these are individuals I am not related to. The day prior, I researched his brother.

“Magnolia“  in the middle of the night. Extremely interesting programs. I’ve been watching “Off the grid” construction of unique residences. ~~ I was wide awake at 1:05 and tossed and turned until 3:00. Then I got up and turned on the TV. I avoided the heartbreaking news about the war on Ukraine (FOX News), and I had already seen the program on TBN Christian programming. Inspiration: Turn on Magnolia–an enterprise of Chip and Joanna Gaines.

Postscript: I “nap” in my comfortable chair—in front of the TV.  Somewhat beneficial?!

Good for nothing  because of a splitting headache for two days. In your imagination, see “the old lady” reclining in her glider, under the Slanket, with a wet washcloth on her forehead. Is this related to another allergy attack?

Not an April Fool’s Day joke.
