Happy Tuesday Everyone! Brrrr what a chilly morning. Temperatures are hovering around the freezing mark, strong gusting winds and possible snow flurries. The trees in my backyard are blowing with the wind but I haven't seen any of that white stuff.
It's Veterans Day so I say Thank You to all who have served ...
I slept really well last night and was in a deep sleep when my alarm went off. I remember being in the middle of a dream but don't remember what it was about. I could have stayed in bed and gone back to sleep but I enjoy having my first cup of coffee with my daughter before she has to start work.
With all of that good sleep I feel more energized today. It isn't until I have a really good sleep that I notice how my energy levels are much lower when I don't sleep so well.
i have my mental "to do" list going and it should be interesting to see how much of it I accomplish.
I'm happy to say that my day is off to a good start.
How's your day going?

My son hates when I get up in the morning to see him. I had to stop doing that last year as it set him off so bad. I have to get my little one up at a certain time so he’s has to deal with it this year. Teens are so miserable.
I’m waiting for someone to come who was supposed to be here this morning and hasn’t come. I’m awaiting a phone call back from a guy who works on wells. My little one is home sick and we are enjoying time together. She’s making lots of cards with stickers and markers. Hard to do many crafts without water to clean up after.

I remember those teen years and wouldn't want to relive them 
but they do become human again by the time they hit 21. Surviving those teen years are rough.
Hopeyou can get that water situation fixed.

So nice that you slept so well. I had a bit of a to do list too but got them done earlier. Now I just want to get some time in on here. I hope you continue to have good sleep.

Good afternoon! We started off around the freezing mark but are at 54F at noon... We're supposed to top out around 60F by late this afternoon. I can see the tree limbs/leaves tossing in a stiff breeze. I haven't stepped outside to see if the breeze is cold, though.
I hope you're having a fun day.

@Marilynda1225 I'm glad you had a good day.
We did reach 60F this afternoon but that breeze is cold. I just checked for mail a minute or two ago. I slept all afternoon. But am still sleepy. (I didn't sleep this morning like I usually do.)

I had to get up early as I had a phone meeting. Stayed in watching Netflix and catching upon a few jobs …..way too windy to be going out today.

Pretty well, just accomplished the second thing I wanted to do today. I think number 3 will be deferred until tomorrow.

I'm glad you got some good sleep. I regularly go 24-48 hours awake. Today I have a TeleHealth appointment with my doctor. Nothing else planned.

Wow going that long without sleep would make me feel like a zombie. I don't know how you do it.
Hope your telehealth appt goes well. Those are so convenient

@Marilynda1225 I'm always tired. I just worry about all the problems you can have without enough sleep. My TeleHealth appointment went well. Just routine to get my meds.
