The Weekend Went Well

Song: N/A

Mood: 7

Nightmares: 0

This weekend went pretty well. I caught up on some sleep, J and I did some Christmas shopping, and we had a good time watching movies and hanging out at home, too.

I need a few more nights to know for sure but I think it’s taking me less time to fall asleep than it has lately. I was worrying that 4AM and 5AM nights were going to be the way things went from now on but hopefully that’s not the case. Sleep is very important and missing even a bit of it can cause me difficulties.

J and I watched Catch Me If You Can and A Bug’s Life this weekend. Both are good movies, but the graphics in A Bug’s Life sure do look old now. Can’t really blame it for that – I remember when it was originally in theatres back in 1998.

J went out with a friend on Friday evening so I took the opportunity to listen to some more records. One of them – Those Were The Days by the Baja Marimba Band – was the perfect mixture of great and terrible. I also listened to some Marty Robbins and some classical music. It was all good stuff and I enjoyed just letting the music wash over me.

I’m hoping to get together with WG tomorrow morning to go record shopping. With luck I’ll be able to get to sleep quickly again this evening and I’ll be fresh and ready to go in the morning.

Stay safe.

Still Not Sleeping Well

I missed posting yesterday because I was tired and had a nasty headache. Today has been somewhat better but my head still hurts and last night it took hours to fall asleep again. I had to call Dr P and tell him I wasn’t going to be able to make it to my appointment; unfortunately, he didn’t have any slots available today.

With my head throbbing, I haven’t accomplished a lot over the last two days. Today I got outside for a walk – probably around 30 minutes. It felt good to be outside in the mild fresh air.

Once I got home, I spent some time in the workshop tidying things up. As with everything else, there’s a lot to do but at least it’s somewhat better.

J is out with a friend this evening so I think I’m going to spend my time sitting with my eyes closed and hoping my headache will finally leave me alone.

Stay safe.
