I Don't Know Who Will Be Around...

I don't know who will be around this time of the day, because I am usually here much later in the day, but it will be interesting to find out.
I am here a little earlier due to the fact that I just did an all nighter for the first time in years! Yep, no sleep the whole night. Got to bed 01:45am and after tossing and turning decided to get out of bed at 3:30am and dust, yes, I dusted tables and doodads and brushed down and deoderised my sofas, when the sun came up, the vacuum came out.
The medical aid sent someone to check on my Moms oxygen machine and they are happy with how well it is being looked after, they have approved the machine for another six months, for my Mom, so that is a relief. With the COPD she has, she will need the machine for life.
I now have a very busy and interesting day in front of me, where I feel as if I am floating. I don't know if I consider this sensation pleasant or not. I wish everyone out there a wonderful Tuesday. Or as we say in South Africa, I hope you all will have a "lekker dag" a "nice day" 
. I also think this is my 100th discussion here, so, yay!
Photo is another of my Moms flowers that just shone at a close up.

@WorDazza 
it was because I didn't have a tipple I probably couldn't sleep 
Yes, it was awful, I couldn't just toss and turn, so I thought to meself, might as well clean! I did not say that was the brightest decision I ever made though 
Good you don't have too many of those nights

Hi, there, Dazza! Sorry, I am mortifyingly almost a day late getting back to you here 
. I zonked out, face planted, I was on the sofa with good intentions of answering when I woke up with the imprint of the sofa pillow on my face!
Ah, no nocturnal dusting for you then? I scraped through the day, ta. And I am sorry you have had those sort of nights too, sans dusting . I hope you'll have a good Wednesday @WorDazza !

Hi, Anna! I passed out face first on the sofa, I was just so tired. Thank you about my Mom and my discussion. @LadyDuck I am lucky I don't have a husband then otherwise the poor man would have had it with me that night. You are very considerate.

When you say you did an all nighter, I thought you meant on myLot. 
I used to do the occasional one years ago when it was a banterfest. It was difficult to leave because it was so much fun. Ruined me for the next day, but it seemed worth it at the time. I am a bit disappointed now you didn't and I didn't either.
Anyway, it was a sleepless night you had, and I didn't. At least you were productive though.
Sadly, I wasn't around when you posted this and I am guessing you might be whacked by now.
Hope you get a decent night's sleep tonight, because it's very important for your health.

@bluesa Not such a wonderful day as our girl Jo Konta is out of Wimbledon, the day after Andy Murray hobbled off court. It was good while it lasted.
I am not sure I am up to an all-nighter, but if I was I couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather do it with. Chat I mean.
Are you back on track with your sleeping? I had an early night last night as I had a busy day at work. Knackered I was.

Hi, dear @Orson _Kart , you guessed correctly I was very much whacked by the the time you arrived , uhm, actually already by a few hours before it I was just so done in.
I would love to chat a whole night with you any time though, though we do agree that is not the healthiest of ideas.
Thank you, I did face plant and sleep. I hope all is well with you and you're having a wonderful day.

@Orson_Kart wasn't there a few shockers! Left me almost speechless it did!
Same here, I am still trying to recover from my disastrous all nighter, not at all fun that was. But yes, if I was going to attempt another all nighter, you would be it!
As long as all is well with you, then it is good you had an early night, but you wos dearly missed, almost had me having a fit of the vapours

Congratulations on your 100th discussion and wishing you many more!!!!! Is lekker dag a Dutch term?
I'm sorry you had a rotten sleep last night, but at least you got some cleaning done! I'm thrilled that your mom's oxygen machine looks great and was approved for another six months. I hope it becomes approved for life, since she truly needs it.
Love your photo! You have an eye for beauty for certain.
Hope you can unwind and sleep peacefully tonight.

Thank you so much my dear friend! Lekker dag is Afrikaans but yes it has Dutch connotations.
Thank you, but it's okay, I survived and as you say got a lot done. Thank you, I make sure that machine is sparkling but medical aids are always looking for a reason, but I will fight them all the way.
Thank you, I am happy I can share the beauty with you!
I passed out my dear friend, Thanks, I just face planted into a pillow. I hope you'll have a fabulous Wednesday @DianneN

@DianneN oh my, that was a lot of thank you's, I didn't realise ! I can be so daft sometimes .
I did need it, though it looks like my brain is still trying to catch up!
Enjoy your day too, my dear friend and diving into a good book sounds like bliss too, enjoy the treat of it and your day too.

Good grief @Kandae11 , you actually willingly did it? As an experiment? I am happy your internet was quicker, but didn't you feel awful through the day? I felt awful. Will you be trying that again? I hope you have since gotten sleep.
