its late but I cant sleep so here I am.I turned on all the outside lights that have off/on switches. There are flashing butterflies and a moon that flashes like a cop car.
it is still hot but we should be back down to seasonal temps by the weekend. Watch the news every night to see where the newest grass fires are.so far except for the small on across from the hospital,Redwater has been lucky but all it takes is a cigarette thrown out a vehicle window or the hot exhaust on a quad and it would be a fast moving fire.The winds are strong which doesnt help,Hopefully we will get some rain this weekend.
I was trying to see how far back I could remember.I remember when I had the measles,my poor sister ran blocks to catch the ice-cream man and when she got back,I couldnt eat it or didnt want it.Remember the CPR ferry to Vancouver,the Chesapeake Retriever Poncho and him jumping into the pound truck.I remember the first time I saw tv,the carved lady in a rickshaw.There was also a carved piece of ivory with tiny people inside,sticking a piece of an electric cord into a socket and getting burned. I must have been 3-4 because I had red measles at 3.but do you think I can remember what I wanted to put on a shopping list.. I hope everybody gets like this,I dont want to get alzheimers and not remember.well,all the books I have read will be new again.!!
It seems to take forever for my sleeping meds to work but at least they still work.I hated it before,took hours to get to sleep,and 2 hours later I would be awake.I could put up with it for a time but eventually I needed meds. I can pinpoint when my health took a nose dive.I had pericarditis and pleursy, The pleurasy was discovered when Ian came home from work and I was talking to shapes on the wall.I dont remember going to the hospitalnor the next 2 days.first thing I was conscious of was a nurse doing a blood gas.they are incredibly painfull.I wish that every doctor had to have one then they wouldnt order them all the time.It is almost midnight so I think I had better head off to bed.
