So, what was waking up at Pi? Well, I'd gone to bed at 12:30 (so early), setting the alarm for 6:25, because we were expecting the plumber at who-knows-when and I'd scheduled my grocery delivery for 7:00 through 9:00 a.m. I'd cleared the furniture away before bed last night, resulting in the usual excruciating pain that woke me up at 3:14. I swallowed a Robax and tried to get back to sleep. Even though I could feel the warmth spreading through me, I just couldn't fall back to sleep. So I got out of bed at 3:55.
Imagine my surprise to perceive the rest of the house was up. SuM went to the bathroom. Seeing that there were vulnerable pots outside during a windstorm, she went out on the back deck. Bast seized the opportunity to fly out, while S. was calling, warning against letting the cat out. Oops. Too Late. So, then, S. is at the back door seeing Bast glaring at her from the leaves of the tree! Someone, S. got the cat inside.
What's this about Friday the 13th? Well, my groceries were delivered around 7:25. It took forever to sort. When I was through, I was missing about 7-8 items but had been charged $50 for them. So I called CSR who managed to call the truck, learn my bag was there, and that I'd have it after 11:30 a.m. Also, they were still out of the good ginger beer. At least I enjoyed my sesame shrimp rolls for lunch.
I'd been taking Robax every few hours and, by the time 3 p.m. rolled around, I felt as if I'd been awake forever. I was so groggy, I went to bed and watched TV, but I kept zonking out for a few minutes at a time. Sigh.
Add my confusion as I'd had great vision in the morning that disappeared suddenly in the middle of the day then reappeared in the evening. While it was still good, I prepared a report on the books we're reading in 2020 for the leader. I'm basically alternating funny and serious books. Hope it works. We also exchanged pleasantries. Even virtual, every connection counts.
As I'm fading (and so if my sight!), I'd better go to bed. I'm doing the unthinkable! As I'm delaying laundry until tomorrow, I'm wearing my leopard caftan to bed that clashes with my sheet set. Oh … dear.
