Time and Again

My kitty is here for attention thus one hand typing can be difficult. She has full attention of the face and my hand is on the keyboard.

There is no change in my weird time-altered new existence. Last night I could hardly stay awake past eight but did till nine, just so my son didn't think I was the most boring person on earth. I was awake and downstairs at four something, stayed up for awhile, then went back to bed, extremely tired at five something - my usual wake up time. I woke at almost eight. HELP! I feel totally screwed up.

My sis in law is laughing because my appetite has taken a huge nosedive and I have to do sit ups to get out of bed. She is thinking this accident is like a spa vacation and that with the expected weight loss, the stronger abs, and the less structured sleep patterns that I may come out of this well ahead. One has to see the humour.

For music, the real reason I can't sleep - Too Hot To Sleep by Eilen Jewell. Also Insomnia by Faithless which is different music than you usually find here and Such a Night by Darondo which is a great example of what you'd usually find here. Darando has such a Smokey Robinson feel.

I Wish You Could Smell This

I was just out shooting some echinaceia flowers then remembered I was going to put up the lily. You'll have to go here and maybe here ( possibly won't work as they're postdated- let me know) for the echinacia. I had unexpected company for the afternoon, a friend who is into flowers so we had a pleasant time out in the gardens, promising each other plants this fall and spring, each carrying a camera. Nice. I disturbed a spider she was about to photograph. I felt terrible. Just trying to help by pulling out a weed in front of it.

I can't remember if I told you that I've lost my stereo since the big thunderstorms when my relatives were here. Anyway, I'm using an ancient stereo that I replaced - with my broken stereo, in '96. Not my favorite choice for listening to music. I need excellent speakers. Anyway, music..... something my friend and I were listening to on the shitty stereo from recent playlists I had made. Boy With A Coin from Iron & Wine has the greatest, catchy rhythm for me with a whiney guitar that is perfect here. Too Hot To Sleep by Eilen Jewell is a song that's got some sexy lyrics and has been perfect for the weather lately. I like this song a lot. Hot for those hot days of August. I've got another hot August song that I'll possibly put up next post. The playlist is called An August Shoreline.
