Whoa. It's been a couple of weeks since I began spraying magnesium on me before I climb into bed. I felt effects right away-druggie like I had taken Benadryl. Slept deeper and woke exhausted per usual. Finally this morning I woke tired but not exhausted. I can tell that I got some real rest. How long since I could say that? Years? Gray morning cause it is December after all. But not raining and not super cold. I shocked the pups. I put my slipper shoes on, my hat, grabbed my dragon cane and their leashes and off we went. I told both the pups that we might make it down to the corner. There is a huge and gorgeous cedar tree at the corner. I mean a cedar tree that belongs in a forest. Huge and lovely. The dogs had a good time sniffing its trunk. We did it. We made it clear around the block. Moxe mostly had manners. She could really cause me harm if she put her 45 pounds to naughty behavior. She mostly listened to me. Rufus just stepped in behind us the way he always does. He is a gentleman when on a leash. And now it is raining out.

I'm glad you're just feeling tired and not exhausted today. And think a walk around the block with the pups was probably good for you, too. We have a cloudy day here but there's no chance of precipitation according to the local forecast. It's 57F here, which is our high for the day.

@DaddyEvil Wow on 57! I hope the temps go to the mid 40s here for a few minutes.

@DaddyEvil Holy Moses and his saints. I hope my temps go to the mid 40s for Christmas. This has so far been a soggy and mild December. Often by now the nights will be frosty. 73 sounds dreamy.

I am so so glad you got some legit rest. I can’t imagine how much you needed that! Your dogs are such gems too. It’s a good day to walk Sadie. The high is 65 degrees, and it is really sunny.

@AmbiePam Hello sweetie! I'm sure Santa Woof will be kind to you this year. So tiny. Fred cat is probably larger.

That's good, that it is helping you to rest. But I'm sorry you woke up exhausted, I know that feeling and it isn't fun. I refuse to take anything to help me sleep--there have been too many emergencies with the son in the middle of the night, and I want to be able to wake up if I need to, and not be groggy. So there's that...but I do steal a nap now and then, yep!

@MarieCoyle I understand. My "house apes" are why I refuse to take muscle relaxers for pain. The relaxers will leave my brain too fuzzy to deal with any possible crisis.

@sallypup Yes, that’s exactly how I feel about it. I have to be able to wake up and function.

I never heard of spraying it on. Your walk sounded like a great outing with the pups. It hailed so much here since last night. Rain too of course.
