A Lazy Day Again

I wrote about physical therapy in the previous entry. Later this morning, Sherri, the front-office person called and changed my 8 am appointment on Wednesday to 9:30. She thanked me for being so accomodating but I didn’t tell her that I was delighted to change because I found this morning’s appointment too early! Now my sleeping is so messed up, I sleep whenever i can. For example, today I went back to bed after Fred got up and after pt this morning.

Tomorrow I go to see Dr. Zee to discuss just this sleeping problem. I think it is partially a habit left over from the time when pain from the surgery woke me up around 2 am. These days it is also Restless Leg Syndrome which is excerbated by the anxiety/excitement about my upcoming trip. I want something to help me sleep right through the night AND something that will enable me to sleep on the eight-and-a-half-hour plane trip from Philadelphia to Rome. I am desperate enough to take something that isn’t generic if it helps me. But I can’t believe there isn’t something generric that will help me.

Today I have done NOTHING! And very nice it was too! However, tomorrow will be different.

Tomorrow:

• at least one load of clothes washed and dried and put away. {This was on my list for today but I didn’t do it}
• drive to the library to change books
• walk at least half a mile
• drive to the doctor in the afternoon {I think it is 2:30}
• home exercises for my legs

Random Thoughts:

I am listening to my Leonard Cohen playlist on my MacBook. "Because of a few songs wherein I spoke of their mystery, women have been exceptionally kind to my old age…" I am listening to  to the album "Dear Heather. "

Somehow I got the impression that the books by Bernard Cornwell I was reading about Alfred the Great were part of a trilogy. I checked today and it seems it is only two books.

My MacBook has just told me it is 9 pm {What? Your computer doesn’t tell you the time in a prissy female voice every half hour?} so I am going to watch "The Closer."

Every time I listen to the beginning of "Boogie Street" {Leonard Cohen on "Dear Heather"} I feel the hairs on the back of my neck rise…
