Here I am—at 3:50—after answering a couple of email messages. ~~ No, I won’t start taking prescription drugs for sleep!! ~~
This afternoon, “things” are working against my good intentions. Boxes are too heavy; electrical problems; fire ants got to my bare feet (and I’m out of “anti-itch” cream); extremely hungry and too tired to prepare a meal. Extremely hot and I’m “indoors” with air-conditioning.
