Deep thoughts and shallow...

susandennisAbout half the time I sleep like the proverbial log - the other half of the time, I wake up and pee and go back to sleep a whole bunch of times. I think the having to pee has less to do with the waking up than breathing but whatever. The nights of restless sleep remind me to be very thankful for the others. Last night was a good one.
I was especially grateful because I've been feeling weird lately. My back was killing me yesterday. When seated I was fine but standing up doing much of anything was really painful. My knees are sore. Plus most of yesterday I felt like I had eaten way too much when, in reality, I had eaten what I normally eat.
I wonder how and when I will die - sometimes I wonder more than others and lately I've been wondering a lot. I'm not particularly fearful. Probably my only fear is being incapacitated so much that I could not make the end happen if I chose. I've had a great life and while I'd love to live long enough to see consistently good cellphone reception and/or traffic and public transportation issues resolved, maybe even world peace... If I died today, I would have nothing to complain about. I don't really fear but I do wonder.

I accidentally let the battery in my Nexus 7 tablet drain to nearly totally and getting it recharged back to 100% is a pain in the ass. I never let it get too far down so charging it over night usually works fine. I'd like to take it with me tonight so I want it charged up and it's being quite pissy. Of course, my checking it every 2 seconds probably is more of a watched pot not boiling situation.

I'm hoping the bus tonight for a concert at a casino about 30 minutes from here. The road from here to there goes over a pass which is notorious for being closed frequently for snow and accidents and stuff. I'd be ok with driving it during the day when it's not snowing, but no way at night. The casino has a bus that picks up about two and a half blocks from here.
I'm looking forward to seeing Garfinkel and Oates but I'm also interested to see how the experience - bus/casino, etc works out because if it's painless, it could be an expensive treat now and again.
The bus leaves at 6:15. I'll take my knitting and, hopefully, my Nexus 7 for reading and other entertainment. I'm betting it's all going to be fun.

I'm going to try another electrical outlet for this damn thing.

Date: 2012-11-25 06:06 am (UTC)I understand a lot of your pain issues because my day today sounded a lot like that. My knees were (and are) sore but of course I had a lot of walking and errands that needed doing. Back was sore when i woke up from sleeping in one position too long. Mind you I'm not complaining but the sounder I sleep the stiffer I wake up. When i get up to do whatever in the middle of the night I'm less stiff in the am.
I guess we've got some battle wounds, right? If you live long enough, we get them. I'm just sort of sick of mine today.
