Last night's sleep was short, only 4 hrs. long, but it was enough to sustain me through a productive day. Did my weekly laundry, built and posted a Thanksgiving Day card to members of my KofC Assembly, transferred funds to the Philippines, and delivered supplies to the Church kitchen for my KofC Council's Thanksgiving Dinner Project. Relaxing now with a College Football Game playing over the radio.

Listening to Monday Night Football back in the home office while Sylvia is out in the front of the house making egg rolls. I tried to help her for awhile but I'm really too clumsy (arthritic hands) to do what she wanted me to do. So I'm back here listening to the game. Oh well...

Watching the 1st NFL game of the afternoon, cheering on the Indianapolis Colts. Looking forward to the 2nd game where I'll be cheering on the Cowboys.
Learned earlier that a friend's wife died a few days ago. Dates for her Rosary Service and Funeral Mass haven't been announced yet. They'll probably be the week after Thanksgiving, 1st Week of Advent. This past week I worked KofC Honor Guard at the Rosary Service and Funeral Mass for a deceased Deacon.

A cold (for us) gray and rainy day here, perfect for staying in, listening to college football on the radio, and catching up on paperwork that I've let slide for a couple weeks. That's my game plan for this Saturday.

Late afternoon Friday and all is well. With no impending deadlines of any kind facing me today, or this weekend for that matter, this is one stress-free day. Lord, I do like that!

And a long, but relatively easy day draws to a close. It was a happy day with Sylvia who was able to come home from work early. And the KofC Council meeting that capped off the day was very good; all the guys were in good spirits. And now I'm hoping for a good night's sleep.

Today was long but well-paced and productive. Got my weekly laundry done, usually try to take care of that chore on Mondays, but I had too darned much going on earlier this week. Was able to take care of some KofC work that needed doing, and did Christmas and birthday shopping for Sylvia online. Was able to do the dishes for her and police the kitchen while she was napping this afternoon. She liked that.

This has been a very good Tuesday. Working with my Brother Knights of Columbus 4th Degree Honor Guard members at the Funeral Mass of a deceased Deacon was a great experience. Then I took Sylvia out to a favorite restaurant for a late lunch / early dinner that we both enjoyed. And now I'm listening to President Trump announcing his run for another term as POTUS. Happiness.

In spite of the massive insomnia that preceded it, yesterday turned out to be a pretty good day. It was long and full, but pretty good. Hoping for more of the same today.
C'mon now Tuesday, don't you let me down.

Got to sleep early, ~9:30 PM. Woke at 12:30 AM after 3 hrs. sleep. Have been up nearly an hour into this insomnia episode and no sign yet of any sleep on the near horizon. Drat.
