My brain is fleeting with so many thoughts now that I slept well for two nights in a row, I can’t stop my imagination from exploding with unorganized ideas.
The only drawback in getting a new mattress is now I don’t want to get out of bed in the morning.
If you’re going to do something tonight that you’ll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late. – Henny Youngman
I shouldn’t think of that as a bad thing – its a damn good thing. Good sleep is good for the heart and good for the brain. I had no idea how bad my nights with poor sleep had gotten until now when I’m waking up feeling refreshed and not sore. Here I thought it was just age creeping up on me? Nope. I feel like I’m 50 again, instead of 53.
Ask any cat and they’ll agree. Sleep is imperative, a good 8 hours every night (or throughout the day) is a healthy amount.
When my mind races with a scattering of ideas, I feel horrible. I wish I could be eloquent and make a perfect blog post that the world wants to go viral. And then I realize, that I shouldn’t want to be perfect. That’s way too much pressure. Sometimes it is okay to just embrace your oddness. If you can’t love that about yourself, who will? Right?
Wait, it could be the coffee? Who else takes horrible pictures their coffee pot for fun?
Yeah, it’s probably the coffee…it makes me jittery, and I can’t focus the camera when I’m crawling on the floor. Crawling on the floor to get an awesome shot is in the book on proper photography etiquette, right? Try it, you might like it!
That reminds me of the perfect family cartoon in my grandma’s clippings. And how we were the perfect family to deliver a new mattress to. (Duh…don’t you make the same connection…go ahead, grab more coffee, it will help you keep up with switching topics!?)
We cleared a path to the room, so it was all clean and clutter free. We took down all the pictures on the walls and we moved our antique curio cabinet, just in case. Dessy thought it was a good plan, she’d been dying to check out the inside of it for years, and finally had her chance.
I hear the warmer weather is predicted for this week. I can’t wait to sit out on the deck and watch the snow melt and the green grass grow. Holy crap it’s a mirage or cabin fever setting in? No, it’s a racing brain and an empty stomach on coffee.
Oh yeah, it’s thumbs up for a fasting Monday. No juicy hamburgers for us today (good thing we had a huge burger and fries yesterday).
Today it is just water, oatmeal, blueberries, and some magical dinner with salmon later as we congregate in the kitchen and cheer ourselves for sticking to the fast throughout the day!
Enough ramblings for today – time to hit the treadmill and burn off a few calories.
Happy “Embrace your Oddness Monday” – enjoy your week, ya all come back soon! You’re always welcome here – where quirks are ALWAYS a good thing!
Your’s truly Odd Ball Thoughts were inspired by Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge
Great . Nice 1 🙂
Thank you, Bakshi!
Always welcome mam 🙂
Always so entertaining … and that field! Please tell me the whole thing won’t be blocked by that new development! You may have to build a widow’s walk on top of your home! The shot of Dessie with head tilted slightly down is one of cutest yet!
Aw, Ellen, thank you!! That is our sunset side of the house, so no new developments going there. Thank you for the Dessy compliment – she’s a ham and especially cute when she’s being naughty!
Your photo with your cat on the table and remote is so classic. I love it. Great selection of photos.
Thank you, Cee! Cats do the crazy things, and sometimes I have my camera right there ready to capture the ‘action’!
