The Wheel Turns
Thinking of those young people who are protesting for our sakes. They are the "Nothing to Lose" generation, because the potential of their future has been taken from them. May they prevail. May we prevail.

Morning campers! Another good night's sleep! Well half/half: first half kept waking, worried about a friends dog who has epilepsy, and just had a hard day. Got up, internetted for a while, back to bed at 8 and another four hours.
ReplyDeleteKiddle's coming this w/e to finish up the water. YAY!
Yay Kiddle!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a rough season for pets, hasn't it?
A little rough on all of us, I suppose.
We lost another library patron to pancreatic cancer yesterday. :-(
Last week we lost one to elderlyness.
I do not like cancer, nor aging, all things considered.
But I do like the part of us that becomes more tender, more wise. ♥
Eighty degrees out. Opened my new window just to show I could.
ReplyDeletepuddle ~~ Sounds like your sleep cycle is the opposite of mine. I never have any trouble sleeping the first 5-6 hours. But then I get up to go to the bathroom and sometimes (not always) fall into a doze-wake cycle for the next hour or two.
ReplyDeleteIt would probably make sense to get up and do computer stuff untill I'm really ready to sleep again. But Penny makes the coffee each morining, theoretically before I get up, and I'm not sure how she would view me getting up "in the middle of the night." Especially as she has told me that she just tries to sleep through those doze-wake cycles.
:-)
ReplyDeleteI find that if I lay there all relaxed with my eyes closed it works out to be almost as good for my body as actually being asleep. If I lay there feeling at all tense about not sleeping, it taxes my body instead. When you just can't settle down into being restfully awake, then I recommend reading a book. A computer screen can be too stimulating. However, if it's nearly morning and you have the option of an afternoon nap, then by all means get up, and pour yourself a glass of juice until the coffee's ready. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Kiddle wants to have a good, long look at ol' Mom, too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy afternoon meeting got postponed. It's 62 degrees, perfectly clear and sunny, with 33% humidity. Plus I don't have the car, so I'm headed out to put the gardens to bed. With clear sunshine and 70's predicted straight into Tuesday, I think I'm going to love this weekend!
ReplyDelete*grin*
ReplyDeletePenny afrees that just lying there is almost as good as sleeping. I don't particularly worry about not sleeping -- I have the option of sleeping late, an afternoon nap, or both -- so it's not taxing. But it's also not the same thing as sleep. As I tried to indicate before, the main reason I don't get up and do something until I'm ready to fall asleep again is that I'm afraid Penny will feel pressured to get up.
ReplyDeleteHave I mentioned that I read almost all my books on a computer screen? But a book would definitely be harder to "put down" than almost anything else I would be doing on the computer.
Bill, today my con book from Renovation arrived. Wow, very impressive! It will take me some time to go through it thoroughly. Leafing through, though, I came across the ad for London, 2014. Is that definite then?
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing things about London. Several of my Enge friends and acquaintances are traveling to England for his British tour, especially London and Leicester. So, they keep posting stuff about London. I don't care how much it has changed. I wish I were there. I try to be cheerful for my friends, but it's hard, being so envious and blue.
Does anyone know if scanning a CD in an optical scanner to get the label damages the CD? I should think it would, but it seemed like a good idear to ask just in case.
ReplyDeleteNope, it doesn't. After all, you are scanning the side opposite the data. Tricky part is to get the scanner to just scan the disk, not the whole available platen of the scanner--that improves the quality of the scanned portion you use for the label.
ReplyDeleteVery nice autumnal weather here today, although it started out overcast/slightly foggy. We got a surprising amount of pruning done, and I didn't fall out of my tree. listener--I figure my hardhat got up to about fifteen feet off the ground. Nicely tuckered out, no problem taking a nap this evening before heading off for Salt Mine No. 2 at 10:30 PM. I might or might not check in over the next couple of days. Miyoko prefers to move the drying grapes into the garage in the interim , rather than feed the foxes during the night.
ReplyDeleteTTFN
I usually don't have trubble sleeping. Or if I do, I don't think of it as trubble, lol!, I just get up and do something. But, boy, the first couple of nights out of the hospital were *wonderful*!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alan.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is indeed to get it just to scan the item, CD cover, photo or in this case CD. Haven't worked that out yet, though there must be a way.
Relieved to hear you did not fall out of your tree.
ReplyDeleteLondon in 2014 is definite but not definite definte, so to speak. That is, it won't be an officially seated Worldcon until after Chicon 7 next Labor Day. But since it has zero competition and it is effectively too late for any to emerge, there can be no practical doubt.
ReplyDeleteALWAYS good not to be fallin' outta yer tree, eh?
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you came through great! :-)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I need to do the rest of my pruning, but I don't think I'll even need a ladder for it. At most a small step ladder around the lilacs. :-)
But first...working at the Library. I perused three (count 'em) Library Journals (book review magazines) tonight. One can be a lot, so this is amazing.
