I've been getting crap for sleep lately because it's been too warm for me to get comfortable. I'm the kind of person who leaves the window open all winter because subzero is perfect sleeping weather. But my bedroom doesn't have a lot of airflow, and it's been hot during the day and won't cool off at night. If I leave the door open in a desperate attempt to get a breeze through the room, the dog trots in and out all night, panting and jingling. I'm not sure if he wants to be sure I am breathing or if he thinks I have have a secret roast chicken in here, but he wakes me up multiple times each night. I tried the tower fan, but it doesn't work very well. I so wish I had a ceiling fan.
So tonight I dozed off early and closed the door to keep Mr. Jingles out. I woke up a half-hour later, sweaty and annoyed, and flopped on my back to stare up at the ceiling in anger and misery. And what is suspended from the ceiling? A frickin' ceiling fan. Cue choir of angels. When did that get there???
So I turned on the fan and got a cold drink. The bedroom feels nice and cool. I am going to go to sleep now. :D :D :D
Yeah, I feel like an idiot. But a nice, cool idiot.

Huh, how far Orlando is from Amby? Hmmm... 3-4 hours of drive?
Google says Sanibel-to-Orlando is 3 hours, 19 minutes. Island traffic is better now that the snowbirds are mostly gone North, but I'd still figure on 25-45 minutes getting off the island. Plus I-75 typically slows from 3 lanes to 1 (or none) when someone has an accident. Plus lots of afternoon rain... so probably longer. But I don't go to clubs, not even the local one, because that many people in a confined space gives me literal panic attacks.

I'm very sorry about your recent unpleasant ultra-weirdness with your ex-ex, Patrick.
And I have no words to begin to tell your wife, Sharoth, how sorry I am that the Orlando multiple-murder terrorism took one of her friends. It feels weird being this angry and yet feeling so hollow-empty at the same time. Give her a hug for me, Sharoth, and tell her a complete stranger on the Internet wishes for her & her friend to have the time, space, and support to grieve as they need to.

Yeah it's my turn to deal with them :/

thanks Amby. It was weird, and my daughter is dealing with some closure issues. They had not been on speaking terms for almost a decade. I think she feels regret that those fences didn't get mended. But, as I told her, that was her biomoms choice.

I had a myopulse treatment today - electrical stimulation that is supposed to aid bone and muscle growth/healing - and it felt great for a few hours. Now the break aches like the dickens. I may take a pain pill for the first time since surgery.
Ouchie-wa-wa.
Maybe it's a good sign. No pain, no gain. Right?
Right?
Well, it did something.

Good morning, monkey! Enjoy your lie-in and day off!
I have myopulse (again) and a ton of work to do from home. No commuting and I get to make money.
Oh, changed the finger dressing last night and found that pain is what happens when you botch your Bandage(Finger) roll, make a big wad of gauze sponge, decide that it won't fit under the hard protective splint so wrap it down real tight with the gauze stretch bandage, then squeeze the shell over it when the biggest lump is directly over the worst part of the fracture. Everything makes sense in hindsight. Now it's just iiiitchy, which is good, according to old wives everywhere.
It's lovely here today, 60's and sunny. We have been getting thunderstorms every afternoon/evening. It's crazy. The grass is green, humidity is high enough that glasses of iced beverage actually sweat, dew is on the grass in the morning, and there are mushrooms growing in the shade. That doesn't happen on the high plains! It's nutso! This isn't Seattle or Britian. Go away, rain.
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

You as well Ms. Treppa! Today is a wonderful day on the sandbar, breezy and 70F. No humidity to speak of. Time for adventure!
Oh and anyone with Instagram can follow my adventures in photographic form if they so choose. Look for Zen_Monkey67

So glad I am off for 2 weeks. Anxiety has been a bit unreasonable lately trying to whip that demon back into it's cage where it belongs. But I have been sleeping better insomnia is gone and I am not sleeping 12 hours a day from medication side effects either. I need to find some time traveler from stopping the car crash when I was 19 that resulted in my traumatic brain injury but, until then the ongoing battle with the demon inside shall continue.
