First day of summer = counting down to SADness.

Okay, okay, I'm exaggerating. It's been 18 years since I shook off the SADS that had plagued me since the 1980s. But, losing minutes of daylight from tomorrow on has always depressed me, especially after the autumnal equinox. Sigh.

So, I'll describe my recurring dreams: in them, I'm an opera singer performing on stage. I have full mobility though I'm not sure how old I'm supposed to be. Yeah, I know it's delusional, especially as I lost my voice FOR GOOD a while ago. Sigh again … a musical sigh this time.

At least my sleep is simply splendid. I fall asleep within a minute. And sleep until past 9 (and now I hope I haven't jinxed myself).

My day was filled with reading, watching TV, and lying in bed. The latter was because I was in pain. Right now, I'm gritting my teeth as all I could handle was a banana for dinner. Woo-hoo, or not so much.

At least I have some good news to report. My chosen sis Jan sent me a text last night, asking if church was resuming this weekend. It turns out the church had sent out the electronic newsletter saying it would be reopening for morning services on July 5. That's going to be a huge shock to my system, to wake up early and attend in person. Yes, even if I haven't had a haircut. All together now, siiiigh. Anyway, I need to drink more water, take my pills, and go be a plank laid out on the bed.
