It is so weird to be awake at this hour, and of course, the only reason I am is because I was up all night. The birds are singing, which is a good sign. Means it's not raining.

The past few nights have passed in this fashion, because I have a leaky roof. We got a wet, heavy snow, and the melt off has lasted awhile. The pan I have set under the leak has been filling rather rapidly, and I knew if I slept while everyone else was sleeping, it would overflow and water would be everywhere.

Last night wasn't too bad, but night before last I emptied that pan about eight times! Ugh!

So now I am dreaming of a hot shower and a nap. The hot shower is definitely going to happen--we'll see about the nap. I slept yesterday during the day, and it always makes me feel lazy and dumb. I don't know why, since I was legitimately up all night and have to sleep sometime, but there you go. I love to sleep, don't do it very well, and even manage to feel guilty about it when I do. Messed up, aren't I?

This has been a weekend without grandchildren. Always a bummer, but since the above was happening, I guess it was just as well. I look forward to the weekends they come down, though, so next weekend should be fun. (As long as the weather holds and I don't have to sit up with a leaky roof. Boo!)

I have not been going to physical therapy since getting back from OKC. I got reports back from my insurance that showed that they were not paying my claims for some reason. That made me nervous about scheduling. Anyway, every time I go I have a $50.00 co-pay, and they want to see me like two or three times a week! I can afford about two times a month at that price!

So, anyway, I'm kind of rehabbing my foot and hip on my own, and I was wondering if anyone had any good exercises I might try? (Please be advised that I am rather lazy, and everything hurts, so be gentle!)

Well, the sun has been up for awhile, but not OUT, if you know what I mean. If you don't, it's cloudy out there, folks. I fear more rain may be coming my way, even though the weather report says no. I could use a little sunshine, please!

Okay, this kids is off to the showers! Have a great day!
