DAY 22

Saturday, day 22, ugh. It's starting to seem like that movie Groundhog Day. Same day, everyday.

I have always slept very well. When other women my age talk about how they have trouble sleeping I am so thankful that I don't have that problem. Well, I have not been sleeping very well the last week or so, And I am having very strange dreams. Most of them seem to be about loss of control. Imagine that. Also I am a professional power napper. I take a 15 or 20 minute nap every day. I've always been able to just turn my brain off and go to sleep. My off button seems to be malfunctioning. I can't even seem to nap like I usually do. My husband, who never sleeps very well, is also having disturbing dreams. He was slow to realize the enormity of what is happening, but he sure gets it now.

We had a project to work on today. We could not put it off as we are selling a house and the project needed to be done before closing, per the appraiser. They required us to put a railing around the front porch, which is only a foot off the ground. When we bought the house nobody said a thing about it, but whatever. We love a project on a good day, and it was a welcome distraction today. I ordered the materials from Home Depot online. When the order was ready we went to pick it up. The entrance was blocked and guarded by employees only letting one person in at a time. I went to the service desk and turned in my paperwork, then they sent me out a different door to wait in the truck while someone brought the order out to us. We were in and out with our stuff in fifteen minutes. We gathered power tools and had the railing up in about a hour and a half.

After nap time, such as it was, Miss Nine and I made some more of those amazing chocolate cupcakes. Tomorrow is our grandsons 13th birthday. We are going to drive out and deliver cupcakes and presents. I am so sad that he cannot have a proper celebration for this milestone birthday. I told him that when this is over we will have the biggest birthday bash ever. Miss Nine has a birthday coming up in July. She keeps asking if we will be back to normal before her birthday. I sure hope we are.
