Awake too late
- Dec. 17th, 2017 at 12:50 AM
Still busy with holiday prep and too tired to write when not busy. However tonight I can't sleep so seems I've got the time to but not much of an inclination.
Weather is becoming increasingly nice, sunny and temps in the 50's. Went to the Dollar Tree to get wrapping paper as Erin is supposed to come help wrap gifts. Bought a few Christmas tins to hold sweets for gifts. Realized I haven't been particularly charitable this year so need to find a salvation army bell ringer spot and donate.
Most gifts acquired x
Baked date spice balls and have Mexican wedding cookies chilling, will bake in the morning. ×
Husband made panuche. ♡
Been knitting as much as possible on as hat I'm making for Trent. Arthritis in right hand making that a challenge but still hope that it will be finished in time.

Need to try bed again soon. I will need to be energetic tomorrow.
Erin asked if I want to go with her and the kids to Florida, leaving the day after Christmas. I'm thinking I'll say no for lots of reasons. But it's on my mind, contributing to my lack of sleep.

Meantime, hoping you're somehow able to get the rest you need. A lot of times, these days, even when I do get to sleep, I'll wake up for one of those bathroom trips and something will pop into my head that makes an immediate return to bed, to sleep, almost impossible. So I know something about what you're experiencing.
It's somewhat easier for me, I think, because, in between other things, my time and this house are my own.
Anyway, hope the holiday preparations are successfully concluded and that you and yours may enjoy the season...
I dread the get up in the night to pee thing, so hard to to go back to sleep then, but when ya gotta go... Last night I stayed up and watched 3 episodes of "Turn" on Netflix.
Every year it's a toss up between panuche and pralines, panuche wins this year. I'm having a hard time staying out of it. My fave! You are the first human I've met who is familiar with it.
More things checked off the list today. A bit of time to read and lie about and "revel in my abandon."

The only thing I remember my parents doing together was cleaning the big picture window. I don't think they enjoyed it though.
