Either I am going to have more coffee, and more food, or I am going back to bed. Last night I went to bed a little earlier than I have been, so of course I woke up a lot earlier than I have been. 2:30 a.m. I made myself lay back down after a trip to the bathroom, and stayed in bed until 3:30. I tried to sit in a chair and sleep with television. That did not work. I have moved more furniture, cleaned more floors. Talked with the cats. I have taken out trash. So, I am yawning now. Bob will sleep about an hour and a half more. Time sure flies when you are having fun. And half asleep.

I have nights like that. Go to bed early and wake up at the witching hour. Stay up all night and sleep the day away.

I find it nearly impossible to sleep in the day. Or I would do it.

That sounds like a lot of my mornings. Hope you were able to get some more rest.

I hope you went back to bed, and got some more shut eye.

Nope, but that is okay. I am more energetic now than I have been in a long time.

I hope you went back to bed and slept four or five more hours.

No, if I had made it back to bed it would only have been for an hour. I started to.

@GardenGerty Oh, I see... As long as Pretty leaves me alone, I'll sleep another two or three, at least.

Sounds like me when I wake up in the early morning hours and know I should sleep some more but I cannot. Freddie sleeps beside me in bed so I start chatting to him and before you know it I have knocked him out with my yap and with his head tucked sideways and all four paws in the air he is asleep and I am still wondering what to do with myself.

If I have no day time obligations I will just get up. The cats are asking out as soon as they even think I might be awake.

I can sympathize. I'm up all night, every night. I hope you get some good sleep. Enjoy your day.

That bugs me, but I am always up fairly early to feed the cat. I do go back to sleep afterwards though.

You did a lot early in the morning. You are going to be tired tonight.

I did end up going to bed early because I did not get the nap.

We had workers at home until 3 pm and then we had to walk to the pharmacy to pick up my husband medications. It is so hot today.

Today is Friday, cooler and a little rainy. We do not live near enough to anything to walk, except maybe a cafe one direction and a restaurant the other. We will drive to get prescriptions today.

@GardenGerty We are in the country side, but this country is small, you go almost everywhere walking. The pharmacy is 12 minutes walk from home.

I'm sorry to hear that. Not being able to sleep is a horrible experience.

Since I do not have to work in the summer I can manage, though.

@GardenGerty That would make it easier. Hope tonight is better just the same.

It's awful to have a night like that. I hope you're able to catch up on your sleep soon. I rarely go to bed too early as it never seems to work. Not for me anyway.

Not very functional yesterday. If my body would sleep longer it would really help.
