Day 4 - 21 -- Taken by Sleep

Everything was later than expected today. I didn't get to sleep until way too late last night -- not for lack of trying. I woke to a singing cat today, woke from a deep sleep. The clock brought a shock -- much later than I've slept for a very long time. I settled into the usual routine for a Saturday. As I got settled into the work with the computer, I had the usual mid-afternoon snack and carried on. When I finished the two main items on the afternoon list, the clock brought another shock. It was 9 PM -- no wonder I was feeling a bit peckish. Generally I can tell the time within a reasonable margin of error. It was odd today to have that error be off by over 2 hours.

While I had a descent sleep last night, it was longer than usual.  I've felt some fatigue over the past week and encountered a migraine, so perhaps the sleep was a product of all that. I did wake with a new pain -- well new today from yesterday. The rotator cuff pain, a side effect of the elbow fixation of 20  months ago, returned in the night. Exercises will help but it will take a few days, during which fatigue from the pain is likely to occur. Either way, if I get to sleep as well as last night. things may improve. The long sleep reminded me of how children can sleep through many things, which in turn reminded me of a song. The singer/songwriter is a prairie boy from a city I lived in for some time. Enjoy!
