SHEs Organized

Just keep it simple today. Do what you have to and enjoy the day.

I'm sipping my last cup of coffee for a week. Have my mammogram scheduled for Friday and can't have the caffeine (as I'm sure you all know) for 5 days before. I usually can take it or leave it, but KNOWING I can't have it, I'll probably want it.

I found the discussion of sleep apnea interesting. As many of you know I'm a great proponent of getting it checked out and treated (for newbies this is what our dShelley died from 3 years ago). Never realized before that how serious it can be. With her, it had been going on for years and she no longer used her cpap. We can only surmise that she felt she didn't need it after losing so much weight. It was discovered later that her brain had suffered some very adverse affects. That at least explained some of her behavior changes over her last couple of years.

I'll tell my one 'rooster story'. I still remember today -I was only about 3 when we visited my great grandmother and great grandfather. Their rooster chased and pecked at me and I can only remember dgg immediately giving that ol' rooster its last rites. Had nightmares for a long time so never went near those fowl if I could help it!

Slept fairly well last night until 2a.m. Was awake till 3 and then woke back up at 5:15. That's all she wrote. I'm up, s2s and meds done. Have a bunch of things I want to do today. Considerably cooler today. Have a pig roast here tonight. Just about the last big day here except next Saturday is "Halloween" here. That used to be a big production, but is no longer. Just trick or treat, wagon rides, cider & donuts, pumpkin carving. Tonight there's the pig roast, then a band (which I rarely go down for -too loud!), and fireworks at dark. Actually the fireworks are left over from the 4th of July -the weather turned and he didn't get them all in. Guess the manufacturer is sending in a crew to do it all. DH likes that!

5x5

1. Cut out coupon pages from last Sunday (dh brought me 11 extra of 3 booklets of coupon pages -so should be able to find some for me or dd or both)
2. Do dishes
3. Do LOL
4. Go to farm market to see if they have Cortland apples yet & spaghetti squash (1 orchard has a big article in this week's paper that for the first time since 1945 they have no apple crop -due to the weather early spring)
5. Go to bank to deposit checks from 2 weeks for dh

Goal for today for self: get in 10,000 steps! 3,000 at 1p.m. Got a lot to go before the day is done!

Have a good day at Reserves, scattered -bless you!

Scattered, no wonder you feel so scattered, you're a busy person going in lots of different directions! School, reserves, work, home....

I also recall being cautious of roosters as a child - early on my grandmother who lived next to us had chickens, and my other grandparents also had chickens so there was plenty of exposure. Seems like lots of other relatives were in a rural environment also.

Today's PODA
-write my "speech" for Rosh Hashanah services on Monday a.m.
-pick up suit at alternations place
-make sweets for Rosh Hashanah reception at temple tomorrow night
-watch some of TN/FL football tonight.

I was thinking of trying to get a pedicure today, but I think I may just plop a coat of polish on myself and call it good.

Rough night. Napping in the evening meant I didn't turn out the light until 1. Then dh was twitchy and his moving around bugged me. I finally made him take an advil at 2:30 and got to sleep around 3 myself. Woke up at 7:30. But just getting out of bed now.

First challenge, start the crock pot.
Second, s2s, eat breakfast, run dishwasher
Third, Sunday School prep
Fourth, watch the last 2 episodes of Monk

Anything else will be gravy today.
