Taking time out

A strange thing happened last night. I went to bed and ....woke up twelve hours later. This never happens. I didn’t have to get up for coffee this morning because some of the girls had a previous engagement so I knew I could sleep in. I told Don not to wake me up and just let me sleep for as long as I could. I was very tired when I climbed into the bed at nine o’clock because the night before I had been awake for an hour and a half during the middle of the night. I couldn’t hold my eyes open and was sleeping by nine thirty. Of course I woke up several time during the night to go to the bathroom (yes, it happens) but then went right back to dreamland. I am a dreamer and my vivid dreams are a complete other world to me. I woke up briefly at six to look at the clock and decided not to get up yet so back to sleep I went. Finally I woke up and looked at the clock.  9:40.  !!!!!  I never sleep in like that. And I was still groggy and had a hard time waking up completely. All I can say is I must have needed rest. For a week my body has been trying to fight off something and I think it was happy just to have sleep to heal. I’m still amazed that I could sleep that long. 

It must have improved my mood because I decided to add some placemats, napkins and plates to my table. 

I am trying to get inside jobs done before the weather gets so nice I will want to work outside. Yesterday I climbed up the attic stairs and condensed my Spring/Easter decorations into one big bin. I am trying to gather things for a sale that Linda will be having in the summer. I am so happy when something leaves the house. Today I am going back up to find more things for the sale.
