QueenDanceALot — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 09:28:53 GMT

So I'm posting up a storm.

Just in case anyone is around and sees my name as the most recent poster on every thread.

I hear an echo.....................

I am really a morning person - just not QUITE THIS EARLY. I do like the morning quiet and the promise of new day. Sometimes when I have things weighing on my mind the evening brings obsession and anxiety.

I woke up with a stuffy nose, I think because of the weather change last nite. Got much needed rain, but it messed with my head.

Today will be a good day, though. I will get things accomplished! (Until about 3 P.M. and I crash - haha)

I'm getting hungry.......

I've never worked the graveyard shift. I don't think I would be able to do it!!

But dinner right about now sounds kinda good.

I woke up early too. I wish my mind would sleep at the same time my body wants to sleep. LOL

My nose was stuffy too - it's very humid out. It rained all day yesterday and today is going to be in the high 50s, low 60s.

I never went to bed.....was up all night sopping up water in my laundry room.The water heater sprung a leak in three places. Of course DH is out of town, so I was frantic trying to shut the water off outside, and it still wouldn't shut off, had to have the water dept. come out and turn it off down by the road on our property. Hope I can get a plumber out today to install a new one and get the water back on. I'm dirty and tired . ):

Maybe I was dreaming about them chasing me through TJ's.

I need a nap now.

Yes, that's what it's like here with more rain to come tonite which we surely need in a bad way.

I think part of the stuffy nose thing is a reaction to the smoke in the air being blown in from the horrible, horrible wildfires to the South.

Nyquil make me hyper and sleepless, the opposite of what it's supposed to do! Can't take any of those things with that ingredient in it.

I usually sleep pretty well. But last nite I just couldn't shut my mind down I think.

My knees are a wreck. My GERD keeps me terribly uncomfortable. I am prisoner to insomnia. It's quite awful.

Azcowgirl, my DH is no help in those kind of situations anyway, so I would just as soon he were gone when I took care of it, lol. Not in ANY WAY laughing at your situation because I have been there and done that, just AWFUL. My heart bleeds for you. That is a nightmare!!!!

We have replaced our hot water heater twice in the last 17 years. Fortunately caught both times before it burst, but I have heard a lot of horror stories here in this retirement community. This last recent time I asked the plumber who did it if he would come back yearly and maintain it. I think that is the key because DH has NO IDEA about any of that.

I know there is something you are supposed to do every year with it and if you don't it will never last.

Sorry to go off subject here!!!!!
