Working on the first cup. Second one coming up soon! Closer to trip day and anxiety is real! But, preparation is the solution to anxiety so keeping on with the preps!

Up late today. No work but do have a 7 hr drive to make. I don't know what time it was the several times I woke and thought it's probably time to get up.

I am now old enough that I at times remember my youth and think... "ah, to sleep!" Yeah.

As far back as I can remember (pre teen) I never slept more than 6 hrs. Bed time was 10. I'd listen to the radio for a couple of hours then bounce out of bed like a rubber ball as soon as the alarm went off at 6. I couldn't sleep past 8 a.m. partying until 4 in my 20's.
That lasted until my early 30's when the Apnea caught up with me. Now I'm always tired and 8 hours is barely enough. In bed over 9 hours last night. How much of that was good sleep? ?

Cold, cold, cold.

Having issues with the heaters, and the wood doesn't split, chop, and bring itself into the house all by itself.

wood makes you warm in at least thirteen ways. the trees shelter your house when they are growing, the cutting, splitting, stacking, hauling, removing ashes, spreading ashes, chasing ants and spiders, enjoying the flames, the smell of the wood and yes, the actual heat and ???

clothes are just funny lookin' blankets. i am a long time follower of Linus the blanket master.

i'm serious about that blanket stuff... really serious. one of my early memories is when Mom needed something to cover the ironing board so she swiped my binkie and i remember laying on the floor under the ironing board and reaching up so i could feel my binkie. i'm still very much a binkie person and the feel of them is much more important to me than how they look - they don't have to even be particularly soft as long as they are not scratchy.

Mom also remembers this event from all those years ago.

So I've learned that rain saturated sticker glue comes right off vehicles with just a plastic edge. I couldn't get it off with the goo remover and elbow grease when it was dry. 2 minutes and I got 2 bumper sticker spots off my truck and the window sticker off hubbys truck. I'm kind of angry I didn't know that soaking them for days makes them slip.

We've had a lot of rain.

Got to love this time of year. We got half an inch in four hours this afternoon
