| Dr. Dacey- am I cleared for such heavy lifting??? |
So it was a really great day. We had lunch with some friends downtown in St. Louis, but by the time I got back to the berry’s I had hit a wall and-when I sat down for just a second…I was asleep for 4 hours. Apparently I needed it badly.

| How’d I get her confused with Charlie? |
Carrie’s cousin brought her little girl, Amelia, over. Amelia came in and tried to wake me up and say hello and apparently I just kept say, “Stop it, Charlie. Go away, Charlie!” Too funny. The bad news, is that the recliner is semi-broken and falls way back when you sit in it, so I slept those 4 hours with my legs over my head and I was kind of a mess when I woke up.
I mean- it’s all good. I’m on heavy narcotics for my pain, so I can’t drive anyway. Carrie did all the driving to Pittsfield tonight and once I had my meds and got to moving around with my cane… well, I did fine.
Alright, so as usual, it is the middle of the night and I can’t sleep. I don’t know what is wrong with me. It isn’t the pain. My meds are on schedule. I think that it is just very tough, right now, for me to turn-off my brain -even when it is exhausted. I guess during this past week I’ve just pushed through until I crash and that is what gave me the sleep I needed. Tonight. I’m taking a long hot bath, reading a little and I’m going to go back and try this ‘sleep’ thing again. It’s going to work.

| Oh- there is a connective cute-factor. |
I guess all these sleepless nights could have SOMETHING to do with the fact I’m taking naps all throughout the day whenever I get tired and then sitting up half-the-night with no sleep. Well, for now, blessings and goodnight! I’m determined to sleep soon!
PS: Keep your eyes peeled. Carrie has a blog posting on its way first thing tomorrow. I mean- by “first thing,” I mean to say: Whenever we finally bother to wake up, have coffee and breakfast and eventually find the energy to do something productive. Lately, we’ve not been very productive before 10 am!
