Dreams

I haven't slept much in the past week and a half. When you don't sleep, odd things begin to happen. You become down right mean over nothing. You might begin to bawl when you make macoroni & cheese in an old pan and the the teflon comes up with the noodles when you stir it. You might not have an appetite at all, or you mihgt become ravenous like a starving person at the strangest time of night. You can't distinguish between what is real and what was a dream when you nodded off for that short time.

Then again, you might be me.

If you were me, you would decide that this is waste of time and you ought to be doing eBay work, getting things up that you couldn't do this morning because of pure exhaustion.

So I here I go, off to eBay.....

Oh, by the way, Marge might be going home tommorow. She was walking on her own today, slowly, but without the aid of a walker. She is making very fast and remarkable progress. I don't think any of us expected her to be recovering so quickly. It's so friggin' awesome!

In other news, we have no air conditioning and might not have any for a couple weeks. We've received our refund and spent it on tires and a portable A/C for Marge's homecoming (because she's on bloodthinners and her A/C is not so great--it's a very large house)

We have to wait for Shawn to get a few moments between his job and his mom. A/C needs a new compressor and so we might as well buy a need unit. The one we have is at least 20 years old anyway. Oh well. At least it's not July in Texas. It's merely June and I'll be resorting to tactics taught to me by my dad when I was young and we had poor cooling in the house.

1. Shower in cold water several times a day.
2. Wearing as little as possible, step into shower before bed. Going to sleep in wet clothes isn't bothersome when it's 100 degrees.
3. Gulp ice water by the gallons. Duh.
4. Hoard all the fans in the house for yourself and set them up in a circle around you. Ironically, this uses more electricity than window units!
5. Eat ice cream. LOTS & LOTS of ice cream. Then guzzle a gallon of ice water behind it so you don't barf from the heat.

Looks like I might have to catch up on my sleeping while I drive. At least there's ar conditioning in the car! :-D
