Aug. 17th, 2020 10:09 pmI had a couple of nights in a row of not enough sleep. I had no inclination to record my cranky do-nothingism. I mean, the very essence of do-nothingism is to do nothing. If you're finding witty and winning ways to describe the nothingness of how much nothing you're doing, it's just cheating! The distressing thing is that even when I get what is theoretical "better" sleep, I still get tired too fast. Bah. I dreamed my sister Queenie was in Beirut doing emergency relief work, which is a thing she has done a lot of in real life, and I had to go there and extract her. The clerk at the airport said "Oh, you can't go to Beirut. Nobody wants to go to Beirut." To which I replied, "I don't WANT to go there either, but I have to. Sell me the ticket!" So off I went, thinking about how I didn't speak the language and had no map, wondering what I'd do when I got there.
Today was mercifully much cooler--the beginning of several such days that are promised. We decided to go up to the lake and stay overnight tomorrow. I made bread and cookies to take along. We'll take a cooler and a bag of goodies, and then we won't have to worry about finding food when we're there. I'm dying just to walk in the woods and sit by the water for a few hours. I watered all my plants, and I'll probably give them another drink tomorrow morning, because it's been so sunny, and there's not a drop of rain in sight.
The Sparrowhawk had a check-up with his neurologist today. He was better on all measures than the last time he was there, in February. The last time was right after he'd emerged from his hermitage at the drug trial, where he'd been confined and had little activity. Since then, he's had physical therapy and a lot more exercise. They made a small adjustment to his medication, but he's doing very well. We're happy about that!
