I got up early for me this morning after not sleeping much again last night. I took a second hot bath around 2:30 and was able to get a bit of sleep after that but was awake again at 4:30 and only slept on and off until the alarm went off. Dang, this is getting old again.

I went to a friend’s house and helped do some packing. I cleaned out two big closets and packed the contents. They loaded up the back of a pickup and the back of a car with the boxes I filled plus others from another closet in the house. Progress is being made but there is more to do. I remember the last few boxes of my move. I just wished I had a magic wand and could have made them go away.

After we were done we went to the Grand in CWF for lunch. It was nice to sit and visit with my dear friend. I appreciated her treating me to lunch.

I came home after lunch and attempted to take a nap. I probably got 30 minutes of sleep which helped knock the rough edge off but I am still tired. Maybe tonight will be the night that I crash and sleep the clock around. I was a bit lightheaded this morning but after my nap that went away. Probably my body’s way of telling me I need more sleep. Wish I could make that happen.

My trainer let me know she is still down with Covid so I don’t have to go to exercise tomorrow. I do need a couple things from town so will go to town at some point tomorrow. I have a prescription that needs picked up, Kathy is out of grass seed and I need a seam ripper so I can finish Ellexia’s dress. It will be nice to be able to go to town when I want to and not have to work in an exercise session around my errands.

Sophia is struggling a bit. She freezes up sometimes and acts like she doesn’t know how to walk. She has fallen over a couple of times. I need to make an appointment with her Vet and see if they can figure anything out. It isn’t constant or consistently happening so not sure if there is anything wrong or not. She just is acting different somehow but not sure I can fully explain it.

No plans for Saturday. Sunday evening I am going to Pioneer Bluffs for a BBQ dinner and concert. It is to be in the low 80’s Sunday and clear so should be a beautiful evening to sit outside and enjoy live music.

Don’t have much on the calendar next week. I am taking Kathy to the airport Tuesday as she is flying to CT for her son’s wedding. She will be gone a week so I will have solo critter care. The critters will really miss Kathy and the special attention she gives them.

Felt good to be in service today. Sometimes I need a day where I can actually say I got something done. Old habits die hard! I was able to maintain at or above neutral today. Didn’t feel the best this morning but I made it through. I took a break and took care of myself at one point. Wish I knew what caused the lightheaded feelings I get sometimes. My body is still a mystery to me sometimes.

Grateful to get to see my friends today, grateful for a short nap this afternoon and grateful I have a free day tomorrow.
