I did not sleep well last Saturday night. I am not sure why. But I got up in the 3:00 a.m. hour, then took a nice long nap between 11:00 and 1:30. We did get through Ember's morning routine, including about a 2-mile walk.
Since then, I have started experimenting with using music CD's to fall asleep rather than YouTube "Boring X for sleep" videos. I roll over and close my eyes to those, don't watch them! Sometimes one works, sometimes the other. Sometimes neither. But... working on finding what works!
Thankfully, the inside of the house, basement level included, stayed dry. Some parts of the city were cut off or underwater. Low-lying areas, of course. My daughter in law messaged the family group that two of her coworkers had water get into their automobiles where they lived. Yikes!
The good news is that we are up for several dryer days now. Friday morning dawned colder than it has been in a while: 47℉ when I got up. That getting up was early and rushed, because Ember was whining in her crate and escalated to a bark before I even got dressed.
I hurried a bit and went downstairs in bare feet, carrying my socks and shoes, and let her out, thinking she'd head straight for the outside door. Nope! She focused on that rolled up pair of socks in my hand and swiped them from me!
Thankfully, this was a pair that was several years old, wearing thin, and I had already been debating with myself whether to pitch them or not. "Decluttering by dog" quipped my sister in our early morning text exchange (you know the one, the "are we both still breathing" check-in).
In any case, this started off my day differently from what I envisioned, and now I have some catching up to do! I'm off to feed the cat (belated), take a shower, etc.
Hope you all have a good weekend and week ahead!
Life's good, even when unexpected things happen! Spark on!
Decluttering by dog, I like it! I hope you work out what works best to get some good nights sleep. Happy to hear you and yours did not have flooding to deal with. That is so hard dealing with both the clean up and insurance companies. St. Catherine's area here had very bad flooding in July this year and they are still dealing with it. Wishing you a lovely first weekend of October.
