Insomni-NOT

I just had three good nights’ sleep in a row. This has not happened for a long time. No getting up to read, drinking hot sugar-free cocoa, etc. to try to get sleepy. I’m going to try for four tonight. I’m tired and had no nap today, so I should be able to sleep.

Swimming almost every day this week, along with the water exercises, probably helps with the sleep problems. Also, I have several simultaneous projects going on—sorting old letters, proofreading for my son, and trying to weave my memoir stories together. Never mind the normal household chores which get done—or not—somehow.

Also pressing on my mind is the cruise we’ve planned next month. I need to get online and check out the side trips that are available at each island where we stop in Hawaii. We probably won’t want to take advantage of very many because Floyd has spent so much time in the islands over the years, but there may be a couple of places I would like to see. If we make the reservations before we leave, we’ll be sure to get the ones we want. After we are aboard, some may be sold out.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to take off another five pounds before we leave on the cruise next month, so I’ll have a little leeway with all that good food on the ship. Easier said than done.
