Yard Work

Last night we actually managed to get in about 2 hours of yard work. I’ve been feeling a bit frustrated and hopeless because there’s so much to do and I just don’t have the energy to tackle it. So it was a real treat to see what a difference a couple of hours can make. …

Mat Leave:

I can’t wait. Boy oh boy I have been tired the last two days. I’ve had late starts because of appointments so I’ve been able to sleep in until 7:30 or later. I’ve reinstituted naps in the middle of the day in my office – 30 minutes on Tuesday, almost an hour today. and I’m …

Sleep

Sleep, when I get it, is so great. I was struggling for a few days to get enough rest. Temperature was the main challenge – the weather was really hot, and we don’t have a/c so I was up swabbing myself down, hosing off my feet or setting the fan for most of the night. …
