I am so tired, and I really didn’t do anything today. It’s interesting though that I do notice a huge difference on the nights I don’t sleep well. It’s been pretty good lately but last night I was still up at 3am. I was planning to run errands this morning but at 8am I was quite tempted to blow them off. There was a huge amount of thunder at the time so I got up. In other words I couldn’t get back to sleep. 

The morning started off with pouring rain but did eventually clear up although I wouldn’t call it a good day. I took a look around the garden when I got back but nothing really needed water and I just plain wasn’t in the mood to prune the tree that needs to be done. So, I grabbed the book I started yesterday and just sat on the patio and read for a while. It was nice enough that I stayed outside over lunch and while I was waiting for the bread I made to rise (more cracked wheat oatmeal bread).

See, a really boring, low energy day. And the sun barely came out, however, it was nice enough for a swim later on. My meals are planned for tomorrow so now I’m off to see if I can catch up on my sleep. I think we’ll go for no alarm tomorrow!
