Got to bed just at 10:00, slept through until about 3:30. But it was a weird sleep with a lot of not-pleasant dream going on.

Sometimes I’ll wake in the night just to go to the bathroom, and then right back to bed. Lately, however, I’ve had a good long sleep (5-6 hours) and wake up feeling wide awake and ready to go into the day. Annoying as heck when it’s not even 4:00 in the morning and I’m already up. I’ve been trying hard to get to bed at 10:00, trying to regulate my body in hopes of getting a good night’s sleep. I think the new bed is helping in this effort, along with just getting my body regulated in other ways (diet, meds, exercise, etc.). I mean, it certainly beats waking every hour or so just to pee, which is what I was doing last year; I’m glad that isn’t continuing now, for the most part. 🙂

Later, almost bed time. It’s been a mostly rainy day, but I got the yarns ready for tomorrow’s dye session. Having done it once already, I have a fairly good idea how I need to do it tomorrow, so that will be good.

Amazon delivered some new toys today — a tripod for my digital camera and/or cellphone, to help me cut down on shaking from tremors when I’m trying to hold still and get a good shot; and a ring light with holder for my camera, cell-phone, or web cam, for doing live video feeds to Facebook; and a small light box with various doodads so I can take professional looking pictures indoors when the weather is crappy outside. 🙂

I’m looking forward to trying these goodies out later this week.

I’ve had a pretty good day, had a brief nap at mid-day. My numbers weren’t as low as I would have liked, but not high enough to worry about. Hip and knee are killing me, unfortunately, but I’m blaming the rainy wet weather. I anticipate a typical 5- or 6-hour sleep.
