For the last two nights, I've had trouble falling asleep. Last night it took me around an hour and a half to drift off. I'm usually affected by insomnia when the weather starts to warm up. My body needs to adjust to the weather. Growing up, I would usually sleep 6 hours a night in the winter and 4 hours a night in the summer. As I've grown older, It has grown to 7 hours a night in the winter and 5 to 6 hours a night in the summer.

I don't work weekends. On Saturdays I get up at my regular time because I have laundry and grocery shopping to do. I like to get those out of the way so that I can relax the rest of the day and evening. Sundays I turn off the alarm clock (Saturday night) and lie in bed until I feel like getting up. It's my lazy day. I only venture out of my place to top off my gas tank and to maybe take a little cruise.

Sunday nights I actually have the time to cook a big dinner, then watch a movie or two before bed.

During my transitional stage from cold weather sleeping to warm weather sleeping, I've been know to take a nap during the afternooons on the weekend.

Soon I will be adjusted to the weather. I take comfort in the interval of transition that I know my own body and that all will be well soon.

Adjusting to cooler weather is easier. I just lay down and BAM! I'm out.

I believe the experts are right... switching to Daylight Savings Time DOES affect our bodies.

Now... if reading this hasn't put you asleep, go take a nap.

The grand old pastime in America... baseball. The rules have been tweaked over the years: Originally, a batter got four strikes and nine balls, and the pitchers threw underhanded (think fast pitch softball). The catcher stood about 10 feet behind home plate, probably because they, like everyone else, didn't wear a glove. The game has come a long way in the 180 years that they've been playing baseball and through it all there have been some great moments.

Sometimes I wonder, like Adam Sandler has here, if they weren't making it up as they went along. lol. :

Millennials don't eat grapes.

... hilarious!

The good news: After receiving 3 inches of rain the last couple of days, We had a respite today... sunshine enough to soak up some of the standing water. I actually could walk to the mailbox without wearing boots!

The bad news: More rain predicted for the next four days.

I'm thinking of starting on a big boat and gathering animals.

Rich and famous from wearing funny outfits (cosplay) and making faces.


I'd take that job in a heartbeat.

I actually saw this on the local weather Friday. We had rain all day Thursday, some of it rather hard rain. When I turned on the local news today, I was astounded. Most of the state here received rain, from 3 tenths to a little over 1 inch.

My town only received 2 and a quarter inches.

Was God upset with us here for some reason?

?

America is great. Always has been great. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than most countries in the world? Yes.

If it wasn't great, we wouldn't have so many people trying to come here.

Last Saturday it rained all day long, so I kicked back and spent the day in self-reflection, what I like to call maxin' and relaxin'.

Then I heard this song, and everything fell into place:


I'm alive and happy for the opportunity!

It was terrible to see the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral. People have been criticizing the rich for pledging $6 billion dollars to fix the damage.

I think along the lines now as I did when the govt. had the bailout here. If all of that money were dispersed to the needy, think of how much better everyone would be.
