I’m so glad my music reappeared. I was miserable without it. I don’t know where it was, but I’m happy it’s back. It’s almost three a.m. and I’m still up, burning cd’s for people.

I figured that as long as I was too stressed out to sleep, I might as well be up and doing something fun. I think this might be the longest stretch of blogging and reading blogs and writing and answering emails that I’ve ever done.

As I write, now: Fingal’s Cave (Mendelsohn) and I’m loving it. When I was a little girl, this melody was in my beginning piano book.

Heaven knows I needed something to calm me down and help me sleep. I think it’s working. Good.

Tomorrow is another day. I made that up; it’s completely original. Uh huh, right.

There’s nothing on the calendar for tomorrow. Wonderful. I’ve had it with surprises. No more, please. **

How ironic that at the rheumatologist today, my blood pressure was better than usual. I think I’ll mute the telephone tonight. Tomorrow’s my day off and I’m sleeping IN.
