The worst night yet

Monday

I got up at 7:30, having had the worst night of RLS that I can remember. It started before I went to bed, and lasted the whole night, even when I got up for good in the morning. Neither my mind nor my body got any rest. I wondered if it had anything to do with the red kale from Jenni's garden.

I washed up and got dressed. I checked e-mail. I went out to water the plants. Chris came home with the mail, then went back to work. I read articles and Telegram messages. Jamie called and we talked about what needed to be done at Mary's house. Then I called Housing to schedule an inspection for 5380. I laid out for 20 minutes. I went to the library to exchange books. I also got 2 dozen eggs from them.

When I got home, it was noon. So I made tea and breakfast. I ate while listening to some short videos. I hardboiled 14 eggs and gave them an ice bath.

I tried to open the bottom of the Shark vacuum to see what the problem was. I had to look it up online when I couldn't budge it. Wow! A lot of screws, plus ones hidden under the wheels. I fiddled until I got them all out. There was a circuit board and it looked fine. Next to the rubber gasket, there was a small wheel that had hair wrapped around it. So I pulled at it over and over again with tweezers till it was all gone. Then I put everything back together and only had two screws left over. I turned it on and the beater bar spun, but the handle still didn't have much suction.

I worked on Christmas music for band. I taped pages together and got the list organized. Then I went to Mary's house to gather my supplies. I also cleaned the fans, and put some of my stuff in my car.

I went home. I heated supper in the toaster oven while reading e-mail. Then I just had time to eat supper before running off to band practice.

First they played two hymns that Keli chose. I didn't play because I won't be there this Sunday. Then we played the Christmas. We didn't get through all of the pieces before my lip gave out. I asked who was interested in playing handbells. About 5.

When I got home, I talked to Jamie about 5380. I ate the remaining cob of corn. I mowed in the side yard. I listened to a tapping presentation. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. He went to bed and I stayed up to listen to part of a dialogue about installing a distribution of Linux called Zorin. Then I took some potassium and got ready for bed.
