I woke after ten hours of sound sleep.

The weather forecast.

Starting the week with a good number.👍😊

I was really "wrecked" yesterday. I attended the 1030hrs service at church and sat on the usual row, fourth from the front on the epistle side. I sat on the aisle because the parish picture was scheduled for after the service. It proved a good place for another reason. I was really tired yesterday and sitting that close to where Fr. Travis would be standing whiile he preached kept me from dritfing off. The service was poorly attended so i wish William had decided to attend. I left right after the service, not staying for the luncheon. When I arrived home the couch was my location and sleep was my state for the next five hours. I'm wondering if the state of exhaustion had anthying to do with a few "spastic spells". I have medication that helps with that, but yesterday my left arm moved uncontrollably for a few seconds at a time. I take Baclofen, which usually manages to decrease the spasms (almost to zero) so I'm guessing yesterday was a fluke because I was so tired..

The rain has just let up.

The thunder was loud enough, and the rain heavy enough for awhile, to send Mr. Mistofellees under the bed. My brother was supposed to get a haircut today, but I've a feeling he isn't wanting to go out again. That will be fine with me as I tend not to drive when it's raining. When I lived in Georgia I was able to call a stylist that would come to the house to cut my hair. That's an advantage to living in a larger city. The number of service providers is great enough that they have to provide special services to remain competative.I just checked with Google and a number of barbers and stylists in Angleton do make house calls. The issue now is to get my brother to pay $50.00 plus tip for a regular haircut.
Well, I just had a talk with my brother and he says he's not up to getting out of the house today
