My morale-o-meter is slipping down this evening because I'm tired...  — 1 week ago

...so, instead of sitting here any longer, even though I would like to write more, I’m turning off the computer and turning in.

Lack of sleep affecting my morale-o-meter this morning...  — 3 weeks ago

I stayed up too late last night. I’m up early this morning, and I’m tired already. :(

Really tired today...  — 1 month ago

I think I stayed up too late last night. I took a long nap this afternoon because I was so tired. I think I’ve been staying up too late for a while now.

I read or heard somewhere recently that if you can wake up without an alarm clock, then you are getting enough sleep. I don’t think I can get up in time to go walking in the morning without the alarm clock. I need more sleep. I need to go back to going to bed before midnight.

I lost a day...  — 2 months ago

I was not feeling well Friday when I got home, and went to bed, and stayed there yesterday. It was quiet yesterday, and I got a lot of rest. I think I was taking care of myself.

Still a challenge...  — 2 months ago

I have a lot of standing commitments al the way through through the end of the weekend, and I’m not sure that I can keep them. My eye was not feeling well at all yesterday, and it is still bothering me today, especially when I try to do too much reading or do anything in bright light or sunlight. I will really have to pay attention and try not to overdo it. The world will go on even if I’m not able to participate in these activities.

After last Monday’s experiment with walking, which didn’t go too well, I’ve given up walking for awhile.

The good news is that I am sleeping and I am eating. :)

This has been a challenge lately....  — 2 months ago

...because of my shingles. My eating and sleeping aren’t too bad, but I really haven’t felt well enough to exercise. I’m hoping to be able to start back again this week with my morning walks.

My left eye is open this morning!  — 3 months ago

On Friday I cancelled my normal activities and I went to see the doctor, and yesterday I cancelled my scheduled activies and stayed in bed with ice on my swollen eyelids for most of the day. I’m not out of the woods yet, though. I still need to keep on taking good care of myself.

:( I think I've come down with shingles...  — 3 months ago

I haven’t been on-line much at all for the past few days except to look stuff up about shingles when I started to suspect yesterday that this is what is wrong with me. I’ve got a rash that has broken out all over one half of my forehead. I’m going to print out some of the information now and try to get in to see a doctor today. Hope to be back on-line again before too long.

I did it!  — 6 months ago

I went walking this morning! This is a good thing. :)

Now I get to eat some breakfast, and then I get to go back to paper-sorting and bill-paying.

Haven't been walking since Monday morning...  — 6 months ago

I’m having a hard time getting up early, even with the end of daylight savings time. And with the painters coming all this week, I would have had to get up even earlier if I wanted to walk and get back in time. So I just skipped it.

I really want to go to bed right now and try to get out there early tomorrow morning. I’m tired now, so I hope this plan works out. (I was up way too late last night on 43-T.)

Good-night everybody.
