the day after
Easter was very quiet here. Had every intention of going to sunrise services on the beach like we do every year but the combination of cold temp and high wind put us among the absent. A large meal was vetoed so I had not much to do in the way of cooking; re-heated meatballs, made mashies, and peas, also salad. Strange Easter meal, but perfectly good. Stayed in all day. Gracie’s owner is back from sea; she was going to see her Sunday so I kept A. home to give Connie some time with her horse alone. She’s been so nice about sharing Gracie with A. and letting her help with the training.
Saturday A. and I went to Williamsburg and bummed around; there’s always something new to see there. She knows every carriage horse in town. Jack and Jill have retired. One of our favorites died over the winter. R.I.P. Buck.
It’s been soooo lovely just getting awake with the sun the past 3 days!!!!! A whole week of doing just that is ahead. I feel like I’ve been given a gift. Did go to the gym late today and did a bit but not my usual by a long shot. No 5:30 alarms!!!!!!!!!
On the sleep thing—-I did have a sleep study done maybe a year ago. I was borderline for needing a C-pap machine, which of course I would like to do without so I turned it down. Was supposed to go back in 4 months; never did. The night the sleep study was done I remember getting awake in the morning thinking it was the best nights’ sleep I’d had in ages so it probably wasn’t an accurate reading of how I usually sleep at home. It was dark and quiet and lovely and I was alone in the bed, so how could it be accurate? I’l make an appt. to go back as this constant exhaustion and lack of energy is no fun.
After the gym, took the dog to the vet today; then took my daughter to some local tack shops to look at horse stuff. Made Betsy a batch of her dog treats.
Food has been awful at times and not so awful at others. Stopped and got some Carolina pork bar b que for dinner on the way home today—yum, yum!!!

Yes. The sleep situation doesn’t seem good at all. Since you slept better alone on a bed, couldn’t you try sleeping in the guest bedroom or somewhere in your house? Please don’t mind my saying this. You must sleep well, at least once in a while. Please take care.
Sunrise service sounds way too awesome. I will try to find out one some day and attend it.
Noted down Marcia Muller. Let me check her out too. I am back to light reading again for the time being.
love,

With you, practically a kindred spirit on the lack of sleep/exhaustion thing. If you figure it out, please tell me what to do!
I send you sweet dream wishes.

My hubby has a cpap - he can’t imagine life without it. Yes - it was an adjustment, but sooo worth it.
Sunrise service sounds awesome!

I’m glad you’re gonna get that study done again… even though I’m struggling with my machine again - I’m gonna keep trying because I know that it really helps.
xo sweets!
