How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

About half of the businesses and all the schools are closed today. The small company cleaning the exterior of our house is expected today. We’ll be able to put the screens back on. We only keep them on two bedroom windows in the winter.

Up again at two AM. Not complaining. Just don’t know what is going on with me. Had great night sleep which seems to be happening every other night but not two in row. My mind is so alert I can’t relax for sleep. Hope my day not shot.

Sounds just like my sleep pattern. However I believe mine is caused by my neurological brain disorder Essential Tremor. I've full body shaking, but not at rest, still I'll sleep 2 to 4 hours, wake up, & unable to fall back to sleep. Btw, 2 a.m. is usually the time I first wake up. I end up tired the whole following day.
 
Hubby went off to see if he could find out any news about one of his cousins.
Neighbor called to tell us he heard that the cousin had a brain bleed?

If the humor is true feel sad for the family as the wife of cousin is in a "home'.

Meantime I'm enjoying peace & quite.
Have laundry in the washer.

Looks like rain may be over ,, sun shining.

May get to do some out side work today,,pull weeds, transplant flowers or strawberry plants.

Left overs for lunch.

Pepper, sometimes when I can't get back to sleep, I'll go over and over what to eat for breakfast and (bored) off I go to sleep. :):D

I also have Essential Tremor. I never thought of that as interfering with my sleep before. Thanks for sharing
 
Spent some time hopefully sorting out my lawn mower which spluttered and died a few weeks ago. Youtube is great on there occasions as there are plenty of videos showing how to clean the carburettor. It wasn't hard to find the problem - water in the petrol. I don't know how it got there, but probably leaving the petrol can sitting out in all weathers. I managed to drain the petrol tank, strip down the carburettor and clean it with a set of tools made for the job. Now I needed 'clean' petrol, but fortunately there was some in an old mower that I was given.

The mower started up OK and I've got a clean empty petrol can I'll fill tomorrow when I'm topping up the car. Then I suppose I'll have to cut the grass. As for the old mower, it's OK for rough work, but doesn't leave a good finish.
 
Time to wash the bed comforters. I take them to the laundromat to use their front loader because I think my top loader would be too rough on them. Found out that Monday morning is not the best time to go to. The parking lot was full and almost every machine was in use. The smallest one I usually use had wash in it, but the load had finished. No telling when the person would return and I didn't want to wait around, so I removed the clothing and loaded my bedding. Also found out the price of a small load went up 50¢ from last time. It's now $5.25 - and that's the smallest washer.

I also put up posters in the post office, bank, laundromat and community center for the upcoming village garage sale weekend.

The major action so far this year was the sale of our home in the +55 MHP that we had lived in for the past 15 years. It was a bittersweet moment, but we have moved forward, and the space rent was considerable.
Hopefully, we can empty the storage unit I rented this year, save that rent.
 
Workout this morning, which is an accomplishment in itself given I sprained my knee a month ago and it is still not totally better. But Praise God I am doing OK this afternoon!

Ordered water heater parts and found a qualified person to do the repair. When I saw "Check for gas leaks" in the service bulletin, I knew this was not a job for me!

Planted my green bean seedlings in my cold frame this afternoon. And we had snow this morning!

you know what I do when I'm trying to get to sleep ? I try and remember all the leading players in the last Major court trial I've watched on Youtube... the prosecuters, the defence lawyers.. the accused, the witnesses, .the victims.. and so on... works every time..

Maybe money does grow on trees :unsure: It's not a holiday in Scotland. The weather is dry, but there's a cold breeze so not great for working outside.

I have lots of strange dreams, mostly influenced by places I have been or worked at. I used to have scary dreams until I discovered by chance that they were caused by the blood pressure tablet that I was prescribed.

I sometimes have dreams I'm carrying my tools around, then other times I'm looking for my tools. The Plant was large with lots of places for all of the searching in. ... :ROFLMAO: ... sometimes it's about other people and helping they with problems in the same plant.

Then there are the times the Plant keeps calling me in and I keep saying afterwords, "I'm gonna screw up my retirement if I don't quit."
I can't punch in or sign for anything or accept a paycheck. It's a nightmare.
