Wednesday and Hairdo Day

 I slept terribly last night. I was doing fine until 2:00AM when a cricket began chirping somewhere in my bedroom. I got up and searched everywhere for it but couldn't find it. I moved my dresser out and it wasn't there, I looked under the cedar chest but it wasn't there either. I looked in the closet but didn't see it anywhere.

It chirped every ten seconds and I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep in the bedroom so I picked up my quilt and the afghan and went in to the living room couch. I couldn't really get comfortable there so it was off and on until 5:00AM when I finally just gave up and got up. What a night! If it begins again tonight, I will just move into the den on the daybed. I will just pull the trundle out and try to sleep there. I will have to close the console that holds my computer or the light will keep me awake.

I see by the weather on my phone that we have light rain and it's 36 degrees so I will wait until daylight to go to Coffeyville to my hair appointment. I will have to miss my usual breakfast with Bob.

Since it's raining I won't feed the cats this morning unless it lets up. I can't get out the front door to take their food out so I have to go out through the garage and walk in the rain to the front door and back.  I am not going to do that. I fed them last evening so they will just have to wait.

I have had my oatmeal and chai latte and even a breakfast bar. I haven't had the TV on yet this morning. I know what the weather is from my phone.

Toni changed my appointment time this morning to 8:30AM so I will not leave for Coffeyville until 8:00AM or when it gets light.

More later..

I made the mistake of opening the door to see if the cats were all there and sure enough, they were all four there...looking very hungry. It isn't raining right now so I went ahead and fed them. It's not quite 7:00AM yet so I will have time to get the bowls in after they get their fill.

I have the TV news on right now.

More later... 

At 8:00AM, I went over to Coffeyville for my hair appointment and that went fine. I then came right back home. 

I thought today might be a good day to clean out the storage closet in my bedroom.  I also went through the stuff in my printer table in the den. I got that all organized again. It is 11:30AM now and I think I will just go out to Sonic now and get the Wacky Pack child's lunch.

So more later...

That's what I did for lunch! It was good, as usual, and certainly cheap! I had the large two chicken strips and tator tots and a small coke. All for $2.08. Can't beat that!

The sun is out now! But it's still only 37 degrees.  I opened the den blinds so that sunshine could come in. It feels good!

I spent the afternoon updating my classmates list. It's 5:11PM now but I am finished again.

I will go watch the news now and get back to this later...It's 6:39PM and I will go take my bath and get into my nice warm robe then come back in the living room and read my new book until bedtime.

I will try to sleep in my bed but if the cricket starts chirping again, I will go sleep on the trundle bed in the den.

We will see...

I'm not superstitious, but did you know oriental people and American Indians thought crickets were lucky? I've even seen pictures of cricket cages.

No, and after last night, I don't believe they are making me lucky. :)

Margie, I hope you sleep better tonight. I know how horrible it is not being able to rest.

You are correct Sister-Three and if I nap in the daytime I can't sleep at night. So it's six of one and half dozen of the other.
