slept 30 hours
Yesterday, I spent 30 hours in bed. I laid down at 5 pm on Friday night and didn't get up until 5 pm Saturday. I woke every 2-3 hours to have a drink of water or pee and then back to bed. I would get dizzy a bit and then fall asleep. I was up for about 6 hours and then to bed again for 8 hours ( Read more... ) -
wow! this should be interesting
I am trying to go without internet at my house. I'm cancelling my landline since my blackberry has such good reception so the added security of the landline is not necessary.

you sing so clearly
the morning comes too early

the morning always comes too soon
I unfold in your arms

a long day for cleanup
A's neighborhood participated in the city's Earth Day cleanup. The city dropped two dumpsters - one for trash and one for yard waste in the neighborhood. Volunteers arrived around 10 to start cutting the dense overgrowth along the grassy alley along A's property. Five hours later we are taking truckloads to the community dumpster. We would stop ( Read more... )
