It can't have been 10 days since I last posted, can it? Wow. I guess that would be because nothing much is happening around here!
I've been struggling with getting out of bed in the mornings-I swear I could sleep 24/7 right now. Have no clue why but it seems to be getting a bit better. Have also been struggling with doing those pesky exercises and stretches! But I have done them 4 out of the last 5 days (I didn't do them yesterday as I had the big boys.) I'm going to quit taking the nerve meds with tonight, I hardly noticed it when I quit the morning one, but I wonder if they could be part of the sleepies issue. Anyway, I don't need it so why take it!?
I have been stitching some most every day on "Twisted" and have added several "flowers" to the hexie top. I spent some time tonight working on Kolby's stocking, the cataracts make cross stitch very tiring and headachy. I've finished painting a small nightstand for the guest room and found some top curtains for over the sheers-have really cool tie backs for those! I'll get them hung and the filets for the big chest cut and installed tomorrow. So I'm making slow progress on projects.
I purged books this past week as well. I love books and love to read but storing them is a big issue. I have a Kindle (although it's getting spotty about working so I'll probably need a new one soon) and I use it now for fiction only as I find it difficult to page back and forth if I want to see something again. If you know ahead of time you can bookmark it and go back but I once looked forever for a rabbit quote in the Beatrix Potter biography-never did find it. Anyway, the book shelves were stuffed so some books had to go! I likely won't miss them.
I guess the biggest news is that I was honored by the Jackson County Historical Society as their Volunteer of the Year for my work in the archives. It's nice to be recognized (even if I really only type!) Lovely dinner with good company. Also I got to dress up!
It's cold tonight and I'm ready for sleep! Maybe it won't be another 10 days!

Congratulations! Your blog posts have given some indication of your enthusiasm and interest in the activities of the Society. Well-deserved recognition I'm sure. Ah sleep, perchance to dream! The heat and humidity has been so wretched here, even at night, that sleep has been nigh on impossible. I'm not sure that I'm all that coherent these days. I hope that dropping those pesky meds improves things for you soon.
