At Home in Packers Country

Here it is 11 p.m. You know one thing. I'm not going to the pool in the morning. Why? I'm still up for one. I told my friend I would probably not be there tomorrow because I would be watching the game tonight. I just finished watching a great football game. Maybe not from the Steelers point of view, but they racked up a lot of points on the board as well. We just put up more, with a final score of 51-34. Yeah, it is a bit unrealistic for a football game, but it was a good game. The Pack scored in the first play of the game, with an interception leading to a touchdown. I think it took all of 3 seconds off the clock. And so the game went, almost. They got a lot of points as well. Anyway, it's not just about football, though that is the big TV event of the day. I also watched an Elvis movie, GI Blues, from the new collection I bought last week. Today started out good. I actually got 7.5 hours of sleep, getting up at 2:37, but then I was in bed by 7:30/8. So, a decent night's sleep for a change. I spent a little time here before taking a 2-hour nap, because I was really dragging this morning, and knew a nap was needed. I was down for the count by 8. I got to my book, Thread of Evidence this afternoon, and worked about 4 hours, getting one chapter finished. Then it was movie and football. I posted the Westerns post during halftime. And now, I'm headed to bed after I post this one. I hope you all had a good night, and if you were watching football tonight, I hope your team won, unless of course, you are a Steelers fan. So, that's been my day, and now, it's time for me to get a good night's sleep. I hope. How was your day? Thanks for reading.

A good night sleep makes the difference. I had a very bad sleep, a dog barked and I woke up and was unable to go back to sleep.

@just4him The dog lives in the same house as the cats that woke me up yesterday. I will tell his owners to close the dog inside for the night. They know that it is the law here.

I'm sorry you got woken by a dog. Yes, it does make all the difference.

You keep some really odd hours - at least to my way of thinking but if it works for you all the better.

Yes, I do. I've thought that myself lately. It does work.

@just4him I keep odd hours if Vince is away but if I'm up half the night he starts to worry about me so it's easier just to keep 'normal' hours.

I actually watched some football yesterday for the first time this season. I was glad the 49ers escaped with a victory, but disappointed that the Raiders could not hold their lead against the Broncos. Retired sports writer note (well, it was for my college newspaper): I think you misspelled "interception" somewhere in your post.

I do like the Steelers, but I also like the Packers.. lol. the 16th for me was going to a doctors appointment, going to the eye doctor for them to fix my moms glasses - which she made me make my first eye exam appointment, then shopping, eating and watching tv.

American football, yes. Sorta. I'm a huge Packers fan, but I don't watch the other teams.

My days have been on the quiet side lately, as I don't feel my best and the weather is a killer out there. Can't go out at all as it is affecting me too much.

I hope this weather changes soon, and you'll be more comfortable and be able to go out and enjoy your garden before winter.

You certainly are an early sleeper- My best time is actually from the wee hours to about 9 am. but I never do that- about 7 am or 8 am I'm up. How long have you been going to bed at 7:30pm? I'm also glad you had a super evening and enjoyed the game.

I only went to bed at 7:30 once, and that was because I was up so early and didn't have a nap at all that day. Otherwise, I go to bed between 8:30 and 9. Later on Friday, since I can sleep in on Saturday. Though I didn't sleep in this morning. I was still up before 4.

@just4him Ooh I get it now-- It's making more sense. I have always been a night owl but as I get older I can't keep up the late pace anymore. Also not an easy sleeper so sometimes I need a nap and this is fairly new for me.

You are probably sleeping at the moment. Well, I had my nap and I'm back from interacting.
