Well, finally feel as though I will get through this morning. The reason being that last evening I took the med for my restless legs...of course if a med has a side effect most likely I will experience it. Lightheadedness, blurred vision (already have some of that) and tired. Did I mention the lack of concentration? So far I have started several adventures around the house and left all of them mid task. One of those days.The good news is that I slept through the night and not once woke until 6 am from 9 PM. So, I guess I need to weigh the choice of sleep and morning of being very slow to restless broken sleep and feeling tired for most of the day.
Most likely little will be accomplished today but the bed is made and the Bissell walked around so that is not too bad. Not sure were the Swiffer got left! The garden will not get swept due to the winds again. Following doctor's orders I will limit my outdoor time during the windy time so my asthma/allergies will behave. The sounds of my buoy bell and chimes are relaxing to me and they certainly have gotten a work-out recently. The days have moments of very gusty winds.
Yesterday The Brother Alan and I talked on the phone for 3 hours! We chatted about so many things and made so many plans and I could go on and on...let me just say I miss him and glad he will be here in September.... don't worry I will not be starting the official countdown yet! Usually these long type of conversations are with the sis Lynowl. There have been times that she and I talked more than once a day for long times. Now we Skype....that is another story ...I will say it is fun with her.
As my hand allows I try to work on the French embroidery ... but....The last 3 lines around the piece which I did as broken lines are suppose to be solid! So....yes, I guess I will be back stitching to make them solid. Not today though! Not with my concentration where it is. Wonder about my reading.....
These 3 are on my table now. I have been reading Sherlock Holmes and started James Comy's book but not yet the other, Everything Happens for a Reason. I do read from my tablet but to be truthful, I really enjoy having the book in hand and feeling the turn of a page. At the rate of my morning so far I think breakfast is the only thing I will start and finish right now.
Yesterday I received an email from a friend Jeri....I was not aware she reads my blog each day. I was not aware that ladies from a group which we both ( and I have been absent from) belong ask about me and she lets them know how I am....what a nice feeling that is. Thank you Jeri for caring and reaching out. Glad to chat with all of you... glad you take time to visit and listen. Thank you for the kind words and your friendship.
I am off to conquer the day!

glad your up and about. you don't need to do too much just enjoy the day. I washed my front hall, laundry room and kitchen on Wednesday and vaccumed on Thursday and I ended up with a aching back and an upset stomach all last night. I over did even doing it on cleaning on two different days. Today is a rest day for me. if I do too much i end up sick for a few days. I use to be able to clean my whole house in a day, not any more. bummer. I have restless legs at night too and I take Lyrica for them. I helps me sleep too. Alittle longer than normal but I am retired so I get up when I want and do when I can. Dave understands that I have problems and his advice is do what you can when you can and if not don't hurt myself. So do what you can when you can and relax when you can. Have a good day. How about sending me some of your warm weather, we have been having rain and snow today. Yuk spring where are you. love and hugs Lynda Ruth
Restless legs are awful Grace, I suffer from this condition and it really disrupts my sleep too.
Friends and family are what counts in life, I'm glad you have both to lean on.
A chat with a brother just lifts the spirits, I spoke to mine today too.
Have a lovely day Gracie xx
Some days are like that - you can't settle to anything but just need to go with the flow and where the day takes you. Look after yourself, my dear friend.
Those restless legs are a nightmare I get them too , I am sure it's an age thing. I try not to worry about it and try to relax or read at night until I fall asleep .
Enjoy your weekend .
There are always side effects! Hope these are not too bad to cope with.
Lovely to have a good long natter with The Brother too.
Were your ears burning yesterday? I was talking about your tatting at my craft group!
I'm sorry the medication is making you feel so bad, but getting a good night's sleep is also important! Hope you feel better now.
