Almost Better

Linda had a dream that she woke up and turned off her alarm clocks (she uses two, one as a back up) around 5:00 a.m.  Except it wasn't a dream.  She actually did turn them off  and went back to sleep!  It's a good thing that she is a sporadic sleeper and wakes up at least once an hour all night long (when she doesn't have the insomnia that keeps her up all night.)  She woke up a few minutes after 7 a.m. on her own, only 30 minutes late.  Linda likes to be up two to three hours before she has to leave the house for classes so she can have quite time, read, do chores, update the blog and take her time getting ready.

Yay!  This morning Linda's hand is almost pain-free, it's just stiff to bend her fingers and tender to the touch.  The swelling is mostly down and there is only a small bruise and bump left.  As long as the rain holds off, she should be OK to mow later on.  The injury is on the hand she starts the mower with, so she'll have to get one of the neighbors to pull the cord for her and she'll just have to keep it running the whole time.  (Any excuse not to have to stop and empty the bag of grass!) 

A perfect day to nap.
Jerry isn't coming today because his Dad is in town from the West coast.  I think they should both come over to walk us, but Jerry said they will be going to be busy with other things.  When Linda gets home from work at 1:30, she is free the rest of the day.  After her chores, we'll do a trail walk together.  She always loves those rare times when there are more than 8 hours of unplanned time in her day.
