July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Talk Tuesday! What do you do when you can't sleep?  Most of the time I read. I always have more than one book handy so I can reach out to a night stand to pick one. I can't read just one type of book at a time. Usually, I am part way through a fiction and part way through a nonfiction so I can pick according to what I feel like reading. This is because I have a fire HD and a Kindle White. Both, are stocked with books waiting to be read. I also read the bible, and books about religions of all kinds. In the last few years I have also stocked some unconventional music and sounds. I find classical guitar can be soothing. Zen Garden music, Tibetan Bowls, and Jewish Cantor Music actually bring calm to our household. If I can find sounds that resonate with my brain it drives out other thoughts that, maybe nothing more than, just meaningless noise. Sleep has never been a real problem, there is just to much every day busyness along with regular exercise. I usually sleep well. Unless I'm having a bout of sleep deprivation where sounds in the night wake me at regular intervals several nights in a span of time. Presently reading The Untold Story of the Attack in Benghazi, Under Fire by Fred Burton and Samuel M Katz. Quote: "a bed may mean a place of rest for someone who sleeps well, for someone who rarely sleeps it may be a place of torment."
