A recovery and rest day for me. I fell asleep hard last night early but only slept for an hour and had trouble going back to sleep. Around 4:00 I took one NyQuil tablet. I finally fell asleep around 6:00 and slept until 10:30. Went back to bed at 1:00 and slept until 4:00.

Wonder if I will sleep tonight? Oh well, at least I got some sleep today.

Jim walked down to his brother’s cabin and I stayed here. Jim’s other brother and wife walked up and visited with me for a bit. Not sure when Jim will be back. We are having left over soup for dinner so I can heat it up when he returns.

I still feel a bit hung over from the NyQuil. They do knock me out but I feel drugged the next day. Good thing I only took one.

It has been cloudy and windy today. The clouds disappeared for a bit this afternoon but they are coming back. It is to rain tomorrow but we shall see. My weather app tells me it is going to rain in 45 minutes and then they remove it. Weather must be very hard to predict in the mountains.

I have done a bit of knitting and reading today but mainly resting. I needed a do nothing day. They are good for my soul.

We may drive down to Boulder tomorrow or Tuesday. I have a few things I need to pick up and there is a camera store that Jim wants to visit. It might do me good to rejoin the real world for a day. It is so easy while here to block out what is going on in the world and pretend all is well everywhere.

I did get another guest bed made up. Wow! Write that down – I did something today. LOL! I really do need to get out and take a walk after dinner tonight but not sure I can make myself do it. Some days are meant to do absolutely nothing and this is one of those days.

Grateful for a rest and recovery day, grateful for NyQuil and the sleep it gives me, and grateful for the beauty and quiet of the mountains.
