Not only did I sleep well last night, but I slept in until 11:00 am! Usually I am up and down all night and often am up for more than an hour in the middle of the night, so this was wonderful, and without a sleeping pill. I admit I did not get to bed until slightly after midnight because I was watchng the musical Memphis on a DVD I got for Christmas. Good music and dancing.
I have been really worn out lately. I have been very happy to have two old friends vacationing in the area, so we have had a couple of dinners together, and I have been busy shopping and sightseeing on my own. Also, yesterday I spent a few hours at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary with an aunt and uncle who have a condo in Venice, Florida. They had never been there and drove down to see me and walk around the sanctuary. Not very many birds because the water is so low, and we saw only two very young alligators.
Today is a rest day when I catch up on my brand-new class for the winter semester. Got to figure out some things with the new software the college is using--had trouble last night. I have posted everything, but can't figure out how to grade stuff, which is kind of important, to say the least!! Also, need to follow my department head's graduate class which I will be teaching in the spring semester. Need to figure out where I can get her to mail a textbook for me to look at, so lots to do today, but at least I will be in my wonderful recliner while I do it all!!
While I was out west, I got into a routine where I did some sightseeing or shopping one day and rested at home the next while I worked on my class. As I get older, I really need this kind of slowing down. So this will be a resting day and a cooking day as I want to make some chicken and rice for dinner and freeze for later in the week.
