Love waking up to the sunshine, and it looks like this weekend when we fall back, I get that sun a little earlier in the morning. I hate the thought of it getting dark earlier, but I guess that is the trade-off.
Yesterday was filled with a few new accomplishments, but not without some problems as well. I drove myself to the polling place and voted mid-day. The first time I drove the car in over a month. It was only a 5 minute drive, but it wasn't without pain. It seems I am in constant pain or aching when putting pressure on that tailbone. I take 2 extra-strength tylenol every six hours, but I don't really ever feel like it is doing any good....but then again I haven't tried to go without it either. So I really don't know how much better I must feel.
Then last evening I attempted to go to card club. I did get picked up at 6:15 by LaVonne, and already I was thinking it might not be a good idea...but on I went. I gingerly sat through a couple of hours of 500, but started wilting and thankfully LaVonne was willing to take me home, shortly after 9 p.m. I got home around 9:30 and went right to the couch. However, the election and stimulation of card club kept me wide awake till about 11:30 p.m. when I finally gave up and went to bed.....but that was to no avail. I figured out that the more I am in a upright position during the day, the more restless leg syndrome I have at night. I tossed and turned well into the night, and finally got up and took more tylenol at 1:30 a.m. (a little early) but hoping it would silence my legs and let me rest. I did finally go to sleep, but kept playing the election in my dreams, and woke up wondering what had really happened. Too close to call....my dreams were right!!! I guess I didn't get much rest, but have no plans for today except resting. I will try not to sit if at all possible. I am even standing typing this.
Got a fun phone call from my nephew Hung Ly (a.k.a. Paul Schoenecker) who has taken back his birth name. He claims my brother (his dad) is becoming his father, our dad...or that he is not aging gracefully. I laughed at that. Grandpa did get a little grumpy in his old age....but when I think of all the problems he had, I think I might be grumpy too....and Bill is no exception.
I got another phone call as I was leaving cards last night from Annie with the news that Nicole has made the Coon Rapids High School hockey team. I'm so happy for her. She's a great skater and has a love for the game.
Nothing more to report, I'm headed back to the couch. Love and prayers, m
