I like a cotton thermal blanket and a heavy fluffy comforter in the winter. I keep an extra comforter folded at the foot of the bed. Fold in a Z fold and then you can just reach down and pull it up when needed.

@hollydolly and anybody else who might be interested, I got a weighted blanket for Christmas two years ago. I love that thing! It's like being hugged all night. Recommend getting one that weighs a pound for every 10 lbs of the sleeper's weight.

@Trila I want a cat that can do housework! Maybe I could train Maggiecat.

@katlupe Agree about the price of lampshades. I found some nice once at Home Depot, but at about $30/ea...Whoa!

Careful......it's a trap! Once you let them in they will take over and they will own you!!! 😲.

I hope you are feeling better, and glad to have helped you find your smile! 💗
 

I woke up later than expected....10:44 a.m., after being up and active with our kitten in the wee hours of the morning. After what wound up being lunch, I called my BFF's brother to see if he'd heard from her. He did this morning ( power in her area had just been restored)., She's OK and did not experience any property damage from hurricane Ian.

My son and I spent close to 4 hours of studio time to continue the mixing/editing process on my sweet Salsa. After watching a little TV it was nap time for Deja and me. We woke up close to midnight. I fed her, now time for me to eat, take my meds and repeat my crazy sleep/wake cycle again. 😖 @Pecos

Today was pretty busy! I baked some scones, and had them with bacon and eggs. Then we took out the bedroom air conditioner unit; so nice to open that window on the now cooler nights! Tomorrow we'll take out the A/C unit in my little office, and possibly the one in the kitchen. I'll probably be too exhausted to do much of anything else.

I also started sorting through my DVD and CD collection, as well as some scarcely worn items of clothing, to see what can be sold on Ebay.

Today if the festivities are still going on in the park, I might check them out. I want to get some pictures of the leaves changing in the parks. Maybe put a load of laundry in the washing machine before I go so that when I come back I can just pick it up. Depends on how busy the laundry room is. Usually Sundays are not busy in there.

Cleaning out my closets and dresser drawers. Taking pictures of things I might want to sell on the marketplace. Making new memes out of pictures I took.
 
On my early walk at 6:30 didn't go far went to our community garden in the back of our buillding to water plants/flowers temp was 55
This morning will be walking 6 blocks to my church for our 10:30 service, afterwards going to my friend,Earl's apt,{block away} for brunch,he's the cook We are trying to start a 'get together' with church members singles&couples The idea is for members to meet others they don't know.I think 8 people will be coming
Another church member started a 'singles group' we did a couple times going out to different restaurants with other singles e.g widows/widowers/singles nothing since April. Earl&I decided we wanted to do something independent of her idea. She&another member like to monopolize the conversations,we both find this annoying. I'm looking forward to this, will give an update later
The rest of my day,read local paper, talk to my brother

So don't everybody shout at once, but who wants to come over and build a 4-season porch for me? And would you mind wiring it, too? I really, really want one. Winter is coming, and if I had a 4-season porch, I could sit outside even on the rainy and cold days. Maggiecat would enjoy it, too.

well I'll be there in a few minutes.. if I'm late start without me.. :p
 
I don't think I slept a wink all night. I finally gave up, and got up at 5 am.

Out of consideration for others in the building, I'll be quiet until maybe 9 am. Then laundry and vacuuming. I'll put the memory foam on the bed; I hope I like it.

At 2 pm, I'll host the online trivia game. We get participants from many countries.

Maybe I'll get some exercise in. Or do some make-ahead cooking.

At 7 pm I talk to my language partner in English and Spanish. He also cohosts the trivia game with me (he does the behind-the-scenes work). We've been talking and hosting for a few months. He's such a gem. I love reliable people!

It's on Tandem, an app for people who want to practice a language they are learning, or have learned. Mostly it's for individual language exchange, and there are "parties" as well. Most of the parties are just conversation, but I wanted to do something more structured.

The trivia game is intended for English practice, but we have trivia lovers from English-speaking countries as well! So theoretically, it is open to everyone; you just have to join Tandem first.
 
Well given that yesterday's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival at Golden Gate Park was one of the most epic music days over decades of music events I've been to in The City, I despite being somewhat burned out, am most definitely driving the 53 miles back for this last day of the 3 day festival. Why not? How often in this era do we have free music events like was common in the 1970s? Again weather forecast is for mostly marine overcast mid 60F's temperatures. Perfect weather for people to get rowdy with dancing and moving lest they feel slightly cool. By the end of the day, the 6 stages in large grassy meadows were 110% full of people with an amazing lively vibe. I'd been to previous HSB's and never seen as huge of crowds that is no doubt the result of pent up demand since the pandemic eliminated the 2020 and 2021 events. People of all ages with huge numbers of younger groups coming in over the last 3 hours of the 8 hours of music.

There is a no smoking policy throughout the vast urban park. The free event sells lots of pricy vendor food and non-alcoholic drinks but no alcohol except what a few people might carry in non-glass containers within small bags. And there were not many people carrying in their own as instead another aroma permeated the air that was a huge reason the vibe was noticeably different than at usual events. Will be interesting to hear what crowd estimates show as it will obviously be in 6 figures with more likely today as the word gets around.

What time can I expect you over here, Dolly? Some stuff needs doing. :D
 
an update on my morning post about brunch at church friend, Earl's apt
He made chicken veg soup,pulled pork with rolls, 2 kinds home made applesauce plain or cinammon,all delicious
There were 10 of us,mostly church members, 2 of his neighbors who live in the building. Our minister's wife, Linda joined us as well great time/conversation. I got a ride home with my friend, Marcia, Earl called me 1hr later after everybody had left. We were pleased how well it went. The next time we try this,we'll ask different members.I suggested to him people need to R.S.V.P me couple days ahead of time.He thought that was a great idea since we didn't know the exact # of people coming. One member had to bow out at the last min there was plenty of food left over esp the pulled pork
