Tony is still in the hospital. They switched to a more expensive brand of insulin yesterday hoping that will help bring down his numbers. Jim asked them to keep him until he has 24 hours with his levels stabilized. Hoping we get to bring him home Monday. Wonder how much the insulin will be? That darn cat!

Had trouble finding sleep last night. If I could fall asleep I couldn’t stay asleep. I finally gave up early this morning. I tried taking a second hot bath and even that trick didn’t work last night. Hate nights like that.

This morning I painted the mailbox and put new letters and numbers on it. It sure looks better now. The old letters had worn out and were unreadable. I had to go to the hardware store in Strong City to get some numbers and red paint for the flag. Glad that project is crossed off my pending list.

I made a double batch of Oatmeal Raisin cookies this morning and a double batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pecans this afternoon. I am baking four different kinds of cookies for the wedding lunch next Saturday. Half way done. Am going to bake some Peanut Butter and Snickerdoodles tomorrow and then I will be done. Slowly but surely I am getting things ready. We are on the seven day count down now.

I may go down when it cools off a bit and do some iron painting tonight. I still have that project to finish up. I hate ladder work and that is what is left. I keep procrastinating on it. It is to be cooler next week so maybe I can find a couple hours next week and get it done.

I took a nap this afternoon but had trouble finding sleep. I fell asleep about 10 times and kept waking up. I finally gave up and got up. Maybe tonight will be the night that sleep finds me.

Still have some cleaning that needs done but am trying to time it so I only have to do it once. I can’t wait until Thursday to do it all so will do the rooms this weekend that I can close the door and not let anyone go in them. I’m about out of those rooms.

Am going to take my car in to get the oil changed and the tires rotated Tuesday morning. I had to cancel that appointment when I got the rock in my brake last week. Second time is a charm – right?

Grateful the mailbox project is done, grateful half the cookies are baked and in the freezer, and grateful for what sleep I did find.
