I don’t think I got more than two hours of sleep last night. One of those nights. I was still going when the power went off at 11:15. I called it in. Eventually the Evergy site said it would be back on at 1:15. It came back on around 1:30 so their estimate was close.
We got more rain overnight. I have quite the pond in my front yard again. There is no place for the water to go. The ground can’t absorb any more water. Had some sharp lightning and loud thunder overnight.
I broke down and turned the A/C on last night. It was so humid that I thought it would help me sleep better with the A/C on. The house is much more comfortable today with the A/C on. We have had to keep the dogs inside all day as their pen is a mud pit. Hoping it will dry out enough they can spend the day outside tomorrow. They seem to enjoy the A/C too.
I’m surprised I didn’t take a nap today. I didn’t even get tired. I am starting to get suspicious that the steroid cream I am using is being absorbed in my body. Steroids prevent me from sleeping. I am to use this cream for at least three months. Not sure that is going to be possible if this keeps up. Maybe a body adjusts? I’ll give it a few more days and see what happens. Not sure I can go three months without much sleep. Not sure what the option will be if I can’t use the steroid cream.
This has been a quiet day at home. I did go out for lunch mid afternoon. Came home and took a walk down to the river. Felt good to get out and walk. It wasn’t so hot out today and it was a nice evening to walk.
No plans for tomorrow except another quiet day at home. The anger that surfaced yesterday seems to have quieted down or maybe nothing triggered it and it is still there. Sometimes I miss my body’s cues and misread them.
Not very motivated to find a new project to work on. I have gotten very comfortable doing nothing most days. Nothing feels very important or urgent to do so I ignore what needs to be done. It patiently waits for me to get to it. I do feel better about myself though when I get something accomplished during the day. I fear I am turning into a slug.
Grateful for the sunshine today, grateful for a walk to the bridge tonight, and grateful for the sleep I will get tonight.
