Few things relax me as much as listening to the radio call of a baseball game. Tonight's Phillies / Braves game, now moving into the bottom of the 5th inning and still scoreless after a long rain delay, is really easing my mind. Hopefully this will help me find a better night's sleep tonight than last night.

“Not a recession, a real depression.” Listening to an economist discuss our country's economic and financial situation this morning on Steve Bannon's War Room Show, I heard him make the very good case that despite the denials by the White House, we are not merely in an economic recession but we are deep into a very real depression.

Insomnia break now two and a half hours long and shows no sign of abating. If it lasts much longer I'll just fix some coffee and call it an early morning. My first alarm is only two hours away anyway.

A nap right about now sure would be nice.

As days go, this one could certainly have gone worse. The Honor Guard work at St. Gerard's this morning went well. And taking Sylvia out to brunch afterwards went well, too. Especially given the chance meeting with neighbor Fred so I could check on his health situation. Posting pictures that Sylvia took of my KofC activities this weekend has generated positive comments.
And now, nearing bedtime, the sinuses are getting ugly again. And toothache pain is deviling me. Hopefully I'll be able to get a good night's sleep.

So I've got my apron set out to wear tomorrow morning in the serving line for our Council's BBQ plate sale at the Church Festival. And I've got my 4th Degree Uniform set out to wear while doing Honor Guard work at a Respect Life Mass tomorrow evening with Bishop Mike. Yes, tomorrow's going to be busy. Today I'm resting in preparation for that.
Thank God my sinuses from Hell, which were miserable this morning, have now moderated and my breathing is free and easy with no coughing and related distress. Hope those sinuses behave tomorrow.

A pretty good Thursday winds down. I've taken 3 of my six-foot folding tables over to the Church Hall for my KofC Council to use on Saturday at the Church Festival. Sylvia has gone to play Bingo for the evening, and I have Thursday Night Football to watch after Wheel of Fortune.

Today I'm very aware of how this allergy season is affecting me, and I'm limiting my commitments accordingly. There may be some who will be disappointed that I'm not doing more this weekend, but that's their problem.

This has been another slow-moving, recovery day. Yes, I still have crud drsaining from my sinuses that I'm trying to get rid of. Walking for a mile out in the sun today was an attempt to add some healthy exercise into my regular routine. Maybe that'll help clear out my system if I can keep it up at least most days if not every single day.

The morning's been acceptably productive. Got my weekly laundry done, hung up, folded and put away before Sylvia returned home from work. Have now stumbled into SiriusXM's The Beatles Channel and am spending time, listening.
