Good morning it's going to be almost perfect outside today. I'm so happy I spent all day Sunday cooking so I'll be able to go swimming today

Surprised your pools are still open down there. Up here, they all shut down after Labor Day. (Unless you're talking about indoor, year-round pools.)

I've done that a lot. I can go to bed at nine tired as can be then read myself awake. I read two or three hours every night.

Yesterday was a rough day. I went to bed at 9ish. Unheard-of. I first woke at 1130pm. Stayed up for a few. And up again for an hour. Not a fan of unaligned sleep patterns.

We usually close on Labor Day but the long range forecast wast for warm weather so it's open until the weekend. I'll take it

Sympathy like. When I got home it took a couple of nights getting used to my bed again

My town pools closed labor day. Yet 2 towns over they are open through the end of September for limited hours. Go Figure.

I've been up for a couple of hours and I'm getting everybody to get the heck out!

One of the few things I missed on vacation is my bed and my pillows. The moderate resorts have pretty good mattresses but a far cry from home.

I couldn't tell you much about the beds or pillows on my trip. Most nights I was sleeping before my head hit the pillow.

Dear Lord that is early to be up but I do love the peace of early morning yet it has been a night of broken sleep but I really needed to sleep early last night. Lots of stupid yesterday. Poured a glass of wine crawled into bed and the wine is still on my nightstand. It was a thought I guess.

Did you drink it? It is 5 o'clock after all

Hey, I slept crummy last night, too. No wine for me, though. I'm drinking some Starbucks French Roast coffee and hoping for the best--a busy day at work ahead.

 

[Gabe1]

Don't you ever just want to ask someone this?

Amen.

 

[Gabe1]

I get annoyed when they twist everything around so it's all about them.

Yes. Some live for that. I can't wrap my brain around it, it is a lifestyle for some.

I still plan to fall back asleep, it is still an hour before the light will come through the windows. Starbucks might be the treat I need today. I did get enough sleep for me but it is very broken...likely a long day.

Just because I don't know if you guys check it, I'm posting the Key West portion of my trip report on the Trip Reports board right now. Honestly, if you've read one of my trip reports, you've read 'em all, but just letting you know in case anyone is bored out of their minds.

Thanks, I love trip reports....I have so many followed right now...so far behind but I eventually get to them. Usually like this in the middle of my night. I love feel good reports. Me, photo's still not uploaded.

I should have, giggle, maybe I'd be asleep. The wine still mocks me on my nightstand. Right now @MinnieM123 Starbucks is on the mind.
Still, sleep is the winner in my head over the wine or the Starbucks. One of those nights that seems to follow a stupid previous day.

They are doing OK, they have mixed feelings but when all is said and done, she was their Mother and for the first 16 or so years she was always there for them and they do remember that. The later years were much more difficult in the close bonding neighborhood. But, death is an equalizer in these situations, so it really is just sadness and the realization of the end of an era. We all go through that with the loss of a parent, I think.

Well, I'm glad they are coping well. Did your grandkids have any sort of relationship with her? It's just hard on everyone. It's never ideal. It's good that they all have you, too, to talk to and to remind them of the good times. You've always sounded so supportive and I'm sure that means a lot to them...that even though you were divorced, you still supported their relationship with their mother and they could still come to you when it was about her, though I'm sure it was hard for you sometimes. Way to go, dad! You'll be in my prayers.

And I still wonder why she gets that much hate (Swift).
Specially from trash like Kanye.

Jealousy. Pure Jealousy. She's got real talent with song-writing and now she's rich and famous. People want what she has, so they have to trash her so they can convince themselves that she doesn't deserve it all as much as they do themselves. And for those who have the money and the fame, they are probably jealous of the talent. It's insecurity. They can't do what she does and they know that they could lose it all at any time (that industry is VERY fickle) and they don't have the talent to climb back to the top if that happens. Most of what we see in the News about Kanye is not very positive...he's an egotistical jerk with very little actual talent. He wants the accolades saying what an amazing artist he is, and how great of a role model he is, but he's NOT, so he doesn't get that and Taylor does. He's jealous.

HAH!, My sister's late dog used to do the same. He was a playful coker spaniel.

Mine was a cocker spaniel chihuahua mix...maybe it's something about the breed? I miss my dog. He was the best.
