AM- awake just before 7am (PDT) after not enough sleep, shy of 7 hours, ugh😵‍💫🥴. Husb had arrived home at bedtime, so there was unloading the car and unpacking his bags on top of the usual bedtime chores. Then, the wind kicked up outside, and was knocking the side of the house just as I was settling into bed.
Outside is partly cloudy, breezy, 57 (F)degrees with LOW pollen.

AM- awake before 7am (PDT) after 8+ hours of sleep.

Today is the 9th anniversary of my mom’s death. I’ve been feeling it all week…😔She died exactly a month before my 53rd birthday, on the day of the 1962 Columbus Day Storm. Every year around Oct/Nov throughout my life, she recalled how she “lived through that storm” with 2 little boys, while she was 8 months pregnant with me. The impact of her dying on that day in particular was significant and symbolic in ways I am still unwinding….
Outside is mostly sunny, with smoky haze in the horizon, 45 (F)degrees feels like 40.

AM- awake at 7:30am (PDT) after less than 8 hours of sleep. Husb’s legs were thrashing around for the first hour+ after we went to bed. So, I didn’t sleep until he calmed down, began snoring, I made him turn over and settle down. Sheesh….😵‍💫
