Bless'ed Sleep

After real effort I am getting caught up on sleep and it makes a huge difference in everything- attitude, size of the ankles and feet etc. My kidneys just seem to work better when I am horizontal and for that reason my sleep is interrupted. But after a trip every hour or so it just seems easier to stay up after a few hours. I managed to make it till eight today- the dogs were concerned and working on me but the door was open-they were free to come and go.

This world-wide web thingy is just amazing. After my last post I went looking for some things. I found Voltaire's Candide on the Gutenberg Project downloadable for FREE. I found a place in Norway that offers Classical Music downloads for a pittance-99 cents for Khatchaturian's First Piano Concerto. Reading and listening. Candide is so funny (and dirty) and it is as fresh as when it was written in 1720: surviving in a world that seems crazed with greed, war and despots. Voltaire, and Moliere were playwrights in a time when that was considered profane and they could not receive a Christian (Catholic) burial. So they waited until they were close to the end and re-canted and got absolution. The loophole. And I love St. Augustine's prayer: "Lord make me chaste-just not yet."

Honey is playing in the ditch- she loves the water. It makes her frisky and she is a riot to watch.
