I guess our sleep patterns change all the time. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-26223050802023930702022-08-17T11:50:34.668-07:002022-08-17T11:50:34.668-07:00I always like hearing your reminiscences about gro...I always like hearing your reminiscences about growing up!<br /><br />I could never sleep during the day, no matter how tired I might have been, until I was at university. I remember being really surprised the first couple of times I lay on my bed to read, and dozed off, deeply, for a few hours. I was even more shocked when a friend said she'd never known anyone who slept so much ... I hadn't perceived it as the norm, but just something that had happened to me once or twice - she assumed it was something I did/had always done. (And I wasn't a rowdy student who went partying every night, either!) Now, my sleep patterns are not very good, so if I feel tired during the day and am free to sleep, I tend to take the opportunity while I can.

Hope it will be cool enough for you to get your gardening done. <br />We are at 96F this afternoon ("feels like 101F per the weather forecast), with 19% humidity; I think that will be our high for today. I have the fan on, but, it doesn't feel too uncomfortably hot. Yesterday's drink was very delicious.

I let the engine run for about 15 minutes while I checked on the garden and picked ripe chilies. I will have to plan a drive somewhere. I usually hate to just drive for the sake of driving, but, maybe next week, I can order some food to go from the Sri Lankan restaurant and drive there to collect it. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-85726383282554099912022-08-12T14:47:58.035-07:002022-08-12T14:47:58.035-07:00I could never take afternoon naps as a child, but,...I could never take afternoon naps as a child, but, now, I am happy to take afternoon naps! <br />The drink was wonderful and Eileen reminded me that I should have taken a picture for the summer photo hunt!

Well, you know what that means, don't you? I'll just have to make another one! Just for the sake of the SPSH, you understand! :D<br />I'll make sure to have a new bottle of rose syrup on hand for when you visit! :D<br />The new Covid guidelines are relaxing the protocols that have been in effect till now. Unvaccinated people no longer have to isolate for 5 days after being exposed to the virus, social distancing is no longer required, school staff and students are no longer required to be tested regularly if they don't show symptoms, etc. It's an easing of the restrictions; according to them, there is a high enough rate of immunity built up in the general population against the virus that hospitals can deal with it. So, I'm wondering if my daughter's office will require everyone to come into the office now; she will continue to wear her mask, she says, even if there is no requirement for masking.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-26715447073212526962022-08-12T14:20:48.022-07:002022-08-12T14:20:48.022-07:00The drink was cold and sweet and delicious!

Loaded with calories, of course, but, I'll deal with that, later! :D<br />I'm glad you went on your walk with Tilly early in the morning when it was cooler; please take it easy and relax during your current heatwave. <br />I am fine with staying at home, although, yesterday, when I realized I hadn't been out all week, I felt that I should try to make an effort to go somewhere. But, not sure where because I am still not comfortable going places.<br />Thank you, Eileen, for saying my blog is interesting and I'm glad you continue to visit me. :)<br />Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-14462800698900557092022-08-12T08:24:34.051-07:002022-08-12T08:24:34.051-07:00Blessings.
