Dec. 6th, 2025 08:59 pmI slept for 7 1/2 hours last night, which is quite unusual for me. The night before, I also slept late. I am cautiously optimistic that this means that going off the medication was a good choice. I still am having a lot of throat irritation, which troubles me. It's not as bad as it was, so I will give it a few more days and see if it gets better. Overall, I'm feeling better. The night before last, I dreamed that I was working for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the gigantic Greek-Nigerian basketball player. I was arranging social events for him and doing advance prep work for when he was traveling somewhere. I even knew how to spell his name in my sleep. This is impressive, because when I woke up, I had a lot of trouble remembering how to do that.
Today we had to go to the farmers market, to pick up another meat order from the farm ladies. They had turkeys left over from Thanksgiving, and we decided to get one. I can cook it and break it down, and then have ready-cooked meat to use over Christmas, and lots of nice broth to make Tron's favorite soup. I'm worried that she won't feel well enough to come for Christmas. If she comes, I will feed her soothing soup, and if she doesn't, I will visit her after Christmas and bring her some soup to stash in her freezer. While we were there, we also bought apple cider and pasties and a dozen eggs and some mushrooms and brussels sprouts, and a gift for one of the grandkids. As one does.
I cut up a lot of chicken for the potluck tomorrow and put the spice mix on it, and put it in the refrigerator. I can't proceed further without some ingredients I didn't have, so I had to put that off until tomorrow. And now I must go to bed and see if I can get another large helping of sleep.
