I slept well, but do not feel like it.

I was in bed by about 8:30 last night, and did not get out of bed even for the bathroom until 5:30 this morning.
I got up and did some small chores, then joined Jane for coffee. As soon as I got home we went to Newton for some prescriptions and groceries of course.
The timing of our shopping trip messed with our regular mealtimes. On impulse I bought us Bolthouse brand protein shakes in a coffee flavor. At 400 calories a piece they make a good replacement for a meal. I had gotten really tired in the second store we went to.
I forgot the ground beef for the new burger recipe Bob wants to try, so I sent him back in the store for it.
We have a sea food salad ready for tonight and that will be good. I felt kind of blah while ago so had some gatorade and munched pistachios.
I think I will go to bed early tonight as well.

Mm. Seafood salad does sound good. I always worry that people are dehydrated and just think they are tired. Dehydration has so many symptoms.

I do need to stay focused on fluids. I was going to buy more gatorade sugar free but the shelves were empty.

@celticeagle Yes, these are the powdered "sticks" supposed to be one to a bottle of water but I dilute mine twice that usually.

We kind of lean on each other a lot. You cannot beat having a good Christian friend. Almost forty years now.

Having little kids is so exhausting and you do everything you can to make everything alright for them, but sometimes they just get overstimulated.

I have those nights as well once in a while, I guess it is no enough of the right kind of sleep.

I have had so much going on for over a year and right now with the damage to the house and tree i have more nights where I do not sleep, so one good one does not seem to make up for it.

They are, but I will not buy them unless they are on sale. I used to buy us a pop once in a while when we shopped but this is better for us, and really not that much more expensive.

We bought a commercial one that had the imitation crab meat. Here at home after that was gone I made a tuna salad and then we added some anchovies. I think they were too salty, but it was worth a gamble. We are supposed to be eating more fish.

@LadyDuck Until I start back to work I may get up early, do house chores and then take a nice long nap in the hottest part of the day.

Lots of busy days coming up. I actually look forward to them. Yes, it seems like they do tire us out more.

I sleep so soundly for the most part. Usually I am up a couple of times, though.
