Dispensing the Best Medicine

Is laughter the best medicine? I think it is. And guess what? There are no nasty side effects, and it doesn’t cost $500 for a month’s supply.

I don’t tell jokes or remember them very well. My humor is more of the sneak-up-and-surprise-you-out-of-nowhere kind. I tell stories based on reality because truth is stranger than fiction. I also collect funny posters. OK, I hoard them. This is all done for you. I save the ones that make me laugh out loud and pass them along to those in need.

Today’s poster is an exception. It did not make me laugh at all.


It did give me chills, though.

I owe you a giggle


Sleeping Disorder(ly)

This craziness (summer schedules, people dropping in and out, hubby’s bizarre foot disease) has turned me into a fidgety mess. When I’m not nodding off in morning worship, I’m planning my next nap. The nap rarely happens, but it is a fun fantasy.

Me Consulting My Keyboard

This week has been an especially difficult one. I never sleep well during a full moon. Add that to 105-degree temperatures, and I am a slug. A nutritious lunch at 1:00 pm, and I will force myself to lie down and nap. Falling asleep should not be a problem, but I must get into bed and not be distracted. When I am awakened, I will shower and get ready for the meeting tonight. All this while drinking caffeine-loaded beverages. I am determined not to doze during the meeting.

To Be Continued…

Between 1:30 and 3:00 pm, I dozed lightly. I did not power nap because I woke up groggy and did not want to get up. Oh well. I did get off my feet and rest, so it wasn’t a waste of time. Once the RockStar kicks in, I should feel perky.

I did feel perky, but that did not prevent me from yawning a lot. Meetings are never boring, so it is all my fault. I need to get to bed by 9:30 pm. I’m lucky if I make it before midnight because I mistakenly think I can accomplish studying or writing after I am alone in my office. No progress is made after 10 pm, so I should have invested my time in sleeping. I am smarter than this dumb behavior. Let’s see how long I can keep up the smarter bedtime…
