She does get a living wage, but I'd rather err on the side of generosity. She does a good job and charges very reasonable rates.

Minimum wage in Los Angeles is $16.04/hour.

That's more than the UK.. and altho' we tip, tipping is not obligatory...
 

Well, I had my "prawns" yesterday.

My sleep is all messed up.... yesterday, I fell asleep about 5pm and woke up 3 hours later. I could not get back to sleep and tossed all night. I think it was 4:30am the last I looked at the clock. Up at 8am. I feel so tired and don't want to do anything....
 

I already went for my morning walk with my friend. I did not feel like going but that is the plus side of having someone doing it with you. I went because she needs it too. Fixed breakfast and now getting ready to make four batches of Keto Chow. The sun is out but it is very cold still so I probably will not be walking out to the dumpster. I can put it off for another day.

When I can't sleep I take a little bite of an over-the-counter sleeping pill. Roughly 1/4 of one. It's just enough to conk me within a half hour, but not so much that I wake up with a drug hangover.

That's what I worry about; feeling logy when it's time to get up. Sometimes, I'll take an allergy pill which I should have done last night! Even half. Thanks, Star.

I take Rite-Aid's store brand version of Sominex with the same active ingredient.

A whole pill (25 mg of diphenhydramine) is way too strong for me though. I do better with 1/4 or less. The older I get the more sensitive to medications I become.

Interesting to see the 2 different formulations for Sominex in the US and the UK, Star...

I slept off and on for most of the day. My kitten was up being devilish throughout the night so I didn't sleep well. I think I also had residual tired due to my busy week. I sorted laundry with the intention of washing two loads...blankets and cleaning rags, but once I got into purging and reorganizing, I decided to wait until late tomorrow or Tuesday before dawn. Now I'm going to have a snack, relax and watch T.V. instead. 🤗
 
It's been minus something degrees during the night, and everywhere covered in ice this morning, but the sun is out, and everything is being thawed.. 🌞 🌞 🌞

Got all the chores done this morning, even got my downstairs windows cleaned on the outside...

Called the company with regard the Broken Frame.. they didn't seem concerned at all.. but they say they'll send me another..

Waiting for a friend to arrive..
 
I slept later than usual this morning. Having coffee right now. Planning on doing some laundry later on. I did not go out to the dumpster over the week-end due to it being so cold and icy. Have two big bags to take out today and will have to take out regardless of what the weather is. This morning a new woman is coming for me to interview for the job of being my aide. Will see how that goes. I have lost count of how many different ones I have had already. I will be doing my morning walk around the hall with my friend too.
 
I forced myself to take a 35 minute walk yesterday. Really forced myself, wanted to turn back as soon as I left the front door. First part was frightening, so wanted to go home. Then I realized what I was doing to myself; allowing fear to totally control me. What was I supposed to do? stay home for the rest of my life? Me, who used to go out gladly, finding adventure wherever I went is now reduced to being afraid to leave four walls? So I forced myself. It was sunny and not windy. Cold but calm. I was glad I forced myself and look forward to doing it again. I think. Lift off is 1:30 pm today.
 
I was dozing in bed around 6:15 when my bedroom shook for about 10 secs,certainly woke me up,had no idea what it was. I went on my early walk around 6:30 went halfway down my street. When I came back, turned on local radio station,a 3.8 earthquake centered in West Seneca,{ sub burb of Buffalo} was where it occurred. WS is about 20 min from Buffalo,certainly will be the top news story today,just another day in paradise
This morning walk to local grocery store 6 blocks away need couple items, read NYT,my book, after dinner tackle NYT daily crossword puzzle
 
Yesterday……finished all the bedding alterations.
On to a few clothing alterations, for the next couple of days, then on to real sewing, making some much needed tops/long tunics to go with my jean jeggings, and leggings, and some dressier tops.
Have some extra garbage for tomorrow, from sorting, will get that together.
