My thoughts released; a mind set free
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

I'm docked at Talent Pond's Blog Harbor, a safe port for bloggers to connect.

I didn't get in here to post an entry yesterday. I've been doing real well at blogging almost everyday but for one odd reason or another, I couldn't think of anything to blog about yesterday. It was one of those foggy-in-the-brain kinds of days, or would that be "daze". I know part of it stems from my taking a nap. I don't know why, but it seems if I lie down and sleep during the day, I have a difficult time waking all the way up after.

And, speaking of naps, I've been taking a lot of them. This week was the first week with the girls back in school, and I've spent most of it catching up on my sleep. I know I need the rest, but at the same time, I feel like I'm wasting my alone time. Not that I can do much with my time if I can't keep my eyes open. Why?

For one, I haven't been sleeping well at night. Yeah, I knew that was coming, I hear you loud and clear, if I stop sleeping during the day, I'll sleep better at night. I say, "Go lick a toad!" I'm tired and napping because I didn't sleep the night before, not the other way around. I know part of why I can't sleep well at night, too. As soon as I lie down, I get stuffed up, congested, and start coughing. It's been like this for the past week or better; ever since my bout with Covid.

I know, it makes no sense to me, either. I can't sleep at night, but if I lie down during the day, I fall into a deep and restful sleep. What's up with that? I have been trying different things to overcome this, cough syrups, decongestants, etc... I've had mixed results with them. Sometimes they help, sometimes they don't. I also have humidifiers going to combat the dry air, which helps a lot.

Last night, I was up pretty late, a result of sleeping so much yesterday, and was very tired when I went to bed. I took a different kind of cough syrup and fell right to sleep without waking up shortly after with the coughing. It was great! I also slept in until ten this morning, about eight hours of sleep last night. I feel good and should be able to sleep better tonight, if the cough medicine works again. Let's hope.
