is for SLEEP






My sleep pattern has changed!!
REASON?:
I can no longer shut off my brain!!
I now lay in bed at night searching my mind for ideas, and composing my next blog!
Im writing birthday salutations for those I love, or I'm thinking about all the great pictures in my scrapbooks....
I cant turn it off!!!
It used to be that I'd drop into bed early, because I'd be getting up a 5:15 am to hike. Now the hiking time has changed to later in the morning, so I can get up with relative ease.
But Im staying up too late!!! Not because Im watching movies or tv or even reading a good book. I'm blogging in my head, or prewriting ideas on notepads.
Its driving Bob nuts. I have a flashlight and paper and pen by the bed. We'll say goodnight and the lights go out...then a few moments later-CLICK-my flashlight goes on-I scramble for my glasses, rustle some paper, and scribble notes-CLICK- off with the flashlight-lay back- (lightbulb) and -CLICK- on goes the flashlight-writing....
