‘ Idál (Justice}, 7 Kamál (Perfection) 176 B.E. - Wednesday, August 7, 2019 I didn't sleep well last night. I'm not sure that a slept at all, but I must have dozed a little bit. because I don't feel tired today. I know that I tossed and turned all night, which was an accomplishment because it's difficult to toss and turn in a recliner. Some people might say it's impossible, but I know better because I managed to toss and turn. I suspect one of the problems was the heat. I turned the cool air off because of sinus problems when I leave it on. I'll leave it on longer tonight. If it's remains on when I go to sleep, well that's too bad. I'll just deal with the power bill. Another reason could be that I was worried about bills. I managed to overdraft the checking account this week, and it's only the first full week in August. Normally I wait until the third or fourth week to overdraft the account. I have three items, I know, is coming out of the account next week. That means there is still the possibility of overdrafting it again. I'm just too mentally weary to worry about it now. I know that if I could keep from paying over draft fees I could pay on a loan that I foolishly took out. I have to call a couple of people about the loan tomorrow. I'll call the Better Business Bureau to see what options I have dealing with the harassment. I'm fairly sure my blood pressure has gone up over this, but I could be wrong. I found my blood pressure monitor, so I'll take my blood pressure beginning tonight. |
