Up in the middle of the night, about to close what has been one of the most productive insomnia breaks I've ever had. I knew what was worrying me awake at ~00:30 and now, an hour and a half later, I've figured out how best I can act to resolve those worrisome issues.
Now to put head back to pillow and hope for more sleep before my 05:00 alarm wakes me.

This Friday will be a busy one in the Roscoe-verse. There's a lot of work ahead of me but it's work I know I can handle. And the adventure continues.

So the last few days have been long and stressful. Bought the wife a new car and dealing with all the setup appointments, paperwork, and budgetary adjustments is proving to be quite challenging.

Heard the local radio guy describe the tree allergy misery he's currently suffering through. His symptoms match mine. To. A. T. Nearly constant sinus headache with severe pain behind one of his eyes. For him it's the right eye, for me it's my left. He knows others going through the same thing right now. So. At least I know I'm not alone in this.

So today will be a two-chore Sunday in the Roscoe-verse. An hour and a half or so ago I walked over to STM and picked up 2 KofC BBQ plates. That's dinner for me and the wife, and that's one chore down. Later today I'll compose and post an email to my KofC Google Group at the request of our Election Chairman. That will be the day's 2nd chore. And that will be enough for today.

TGIF!! This Friday morning finds me feeling less miserable than most mornings for the past week or so. Resting my eyes by staying offline (not staring a computer screen or my phone) and mega-dosing with my allergy med (Zyrtec) yesterday helped. And I'll continue that tactic today. The tree pollens are still heavy and that's the reason for my “sickness.” And there's nothing I can do about the pollen level. Best I can do is treat the symptoms the best way I can and soldier on.

Limiting my online time for the next few days.
For those few who may notice, I'll be restricting my online time to a bare minimum over the next few (several?) days. Seasonal allergies hit me differently from year to year. This year they've been bringing me almost constant sinus headaches. And those have been particularly focused behind my left eye.
Last night the wife noticed that my left eye was swollen. So I'm going to rest my eyes for awhile: not staring at a computer screen, not staring at the TV, not staring at my phone, not reading from books (except for the few “large print” books I have.) And I'll continue dosing heavily with my allergy meds; that always seems to help.

Dosing with the allergy meds before I finish my 1st cup of coffee. Yeah, it's gonna be one of those days.

Pretty tired again after a productive day. Tomorrow will be long. A good night's sleep tonight will be most appreciated. Hope the Sandman cooperates.

Very tired tonight, as I should be. Last night's sleep was short and I got quite a bit of work done today. Tomorrow and the next day will both be busy, too. So I'm hoping for a good night's sleep tonight.
