One of the dogs woke me up a bit after 4 am to go outside. As I'm standing there, waiting for the dogs to do their thing. As I have done countless times in my life, I looked up at the night sky. After several days of heavy overcast skies, I wasn't expecting the wonders I saw. Thousands of stars said... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. It appears that this day will bring more rain than sunshine, with a brief glimpse of the sun between storm clouds, not that that's a bad thing. While not tinder dry, it was getting rather arid here. We may have to take our umbrellas out when we sit outside, but that's not a bother.... Sign in to see full entry.

Another day where I was awakened to a call that could have waited until at least when there was a streak of daylight outside. I have a hard time going back to sleep once I am 'awake awake,' so here I am, posting stuff. If the weather forecasters and the Weather Channel are to be believed, we have a...

There's This, A Joke, All While Yawning
Good (way too early) morning. I had another 6:20 am call that really was important, but as I explained to the person calling me, who noticed I was yawning, ' as soon as we are done, I'm going back to bed. ' I looked at the clock and decided to stop in here, make my morning posts, and say 'hello'... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. It's a good thing I went to bed a little early last night, because my rarely seen or heard-from brother-in-law called us at 7 am. When I was younger and had a job I had to be at it; getting up before seven was routine. Now? Don't call me until after 9:30. I/we are always up before... Sign in to see full entry.

Doing It Indoors... and Another Silly Joke
Good morning, fellow Earth travelers. Yesterday was one of those days that saw some advancement, but also saw a few steps back. My most significant and challenging advancement was relocating my office from the back area to the living room. Between the guests we now have and the guest that we will... Sign in to see full entry.

It's been a rough morning, but not for the reasons ya might think. My left hand is the one most affected by my Parkinson's, and it is driving me to the edge of insanity this morning. I have medication I take for it, but I found out the hard way that even slightly adding more of the drug than... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I'm posting from my phone, which is a real challenge for me because my eyes have had a few too many surgeries over the years. We had an unexpected, but welcome visit from a friend. My office is just off back of the spare bedroom, so until she wakes up, my cell is my connection to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. Yesterday was one of those days that I was glad had ended, but we accomplished a ton of stuff. We have a room that we have been using as storage. With the looming possibility that a young man I have known since he was five will be coming down to stay with us for a few months, Lisa... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning... or, more to my style today, it's just 'morning.' I didn't sleep well at all last night. I rarely remember my dreams, but I'll remember the ones I had last night for quite a while. I'm not sure what triggered such bizarre and terrifying thoughts during the night, but Lisa says I was... Sign in to see full entry.
