Monday, Late post

     I don't know why my body betrays me, but it does.  Sometimes at the worst possible times.  I picked Sis up at the airport on Friday and she hung out with me in the shop most of the afternoon.   She was taking stock and cleaning up my messes.   Friday night I was so tired probably because I had slept really, really bad Thursday night.  I mean less that 3 hours of sleep.  So I went to bed about 10:30 which is quite early for me.

     My sisters woke me the next morning (Saturday) about 10:00, so I slept for almost 12 hours unheard of for me.  I got right up but was having a little vertigo and was very drugged and sleepy.  I take no sleep aids so I did not know where the drugged feeling was coming from.  I got myself ready and got in the car , but found myself closing my eyes.  I was very achy and sweating profusely.  We ran some errands and I was very quiet.  We are all non stop yackers when we get together so this was unusual for me.  I split a burger with Sissie at lunch and took some Aleve.  We got back to Lil sis's about 3 p.m. and I laid right down on her sofa and went to sleep.

     I slept for 5 straight hours and Hub's came and got me and took me home where I went right back to sleep on the sofa and slept solid until he came down stairs a got me about 5:30 in the morning.  Then I slept until 10:30.  So in 36 hours I was somewhat awake for less than 5 hours.  My right hand and shoulders were quite inflamed, but Sunday I got ready for church and I am fine now.  A little more achy in my joints.

     I felt like I blew the entire weekend. 

     But so much has happened here in the last few days which I will blog about over the next few days.  Nothing in our family is easy.  Some things are good, and others are very bad.  We are just trying to plug along and get along.
