These make me smile every time I see the photo.  Some people are just so creative.

NOT been busy today...I did not sleep at all last night till after I gave meds this morning.  Then I slept 2 1/2 hours...I tried reading, I tried coming and getting in the recliner, then back to bed.  Tried reading some more.  I tried a  word game I do when I am having trouble going to sleep.  Finally about the time for meds, I started having to work to stay awake.  I knew if I went to sleep, I would completely sleep through the time.  So gave them a few minutes early till I could sleep a little bit.

Just one of those nights.  I was not worrying about anything.  

  

Still blooming

 The hibiscus is still blooming...but only a few these days.  Actually, early on it had a couple days when it had more than 20 big, gorgeous blooms.  Then it really slowed down to a few a day.  I didn't count.  Then the last couple of days it had 7 or 8....and this evening i think I counted 11.  It has sure been fun to have.  And the neighbor has one that I think is the same color and it has bloomed and bloomed and bloomed.

It has been a busy day for me.  I had a couple loads of laundry, vacuumed, dishes, and  a bit of dusting in our room.  And just now came down from quilting just a little bit.   I had loaded this photo earlier, or might have completely forgot to post tonight.

Seen at Lowe's today

 I just love Snoopy....and think this is so fun.  I did not buy it...don't know what I would do with it if I had it.

************                                                                                                                 I took a generic Zyrtec evening before last...I feel my sinuses draining, and throat just always feels kind of scratchy and sore.  I did not read about the medicine...Roger takes one every day.  It is the last time I will take something without reading the side effects.

I was so sleepy all day long yesterday, even had nap where I knew nothing that was going on.  I could do okay when busy, though thinking about when blowing off the patio, I really did not feel stable on my feet.  I had the thought if someone saw me that might think I had been drinking.

Last night when I gave Roger his meds around 6:30, I got in bed and slept till he came to bed around 9:00 or a bit after.  I laid there a while longer, got up to go to the bathroom, came in here and turned off the lights cause I had not told my daughter I was going to bed.  I knew she would just figure I was doing somthing for Roger.

Then I thought I will read a while.  So I did that but was soon sleepy again, so got back in bed and slept till around 4:00 I think it was...got up then and got in the recliner and slept till time for Roger's meds.  I even laid back down a little while after that.  But didn't sleep.  But that is the most sleep I have had in a 24 hour period since Roger had his stroke and/or the first day after I broke my leg.  I should have energy to burn but I don't. 

I did think to look up Zyrtec and it can cause drowsiness till you get used to it.  If I had read that beforehand, I would not have taken it.  Anything like that just knocks me out.
