***🪻Spring Equinox🌷***

AM- awake at 5am (PDT) by husb’s snoring, and could not get him to stop long enough for me to go back to sleep. By 6am, the heat was coming on, I was getting hot, so I gave up and started the day🤦🏼😏That totaled 7 hours of sleep, and 8 hours of horizontal time🫤😴🥱

AM- awake at 6:15am (PDT) when Canoodles oozed up onto the bed to snuggle with me🥰Even tho I had lights out by 10:30pm last night, I struggled to sleep. There is now an additional dermatitis spot on my left ear that’s really bugging me, so I am trying to not lay on that side. Since that is the direction I normally turn to fall asleep, I was trying to NOT do that. So, I was just not sleeping🥱However, I did stay in bed, so I had 8ish horizontal hours, at least🫤😴 My husb agreed to let me switch our sides of the bed out so I can turn my head to the right. This just amounts to place-trading our bedside stands. No big deal. Just an adaptive challenge for nighttime😜😅
Outside is mostly sunny with high clouds, 35 (F)degrees feels like 31, with MEDium pollen🤧
Husb is prepping to drive 5+ hours to his mom’s for the weekend.🧳🚗💨

AM- awake before 7 am (PFT) after 7+ hours of sleep🛌😴🥱
I switched bed sleeping sides yesterday after husb departed for mom’s. So, my adaptation to that leaves me not sleeping as solid for a day or three. Plus, exercise was minimal, so I wasn’t as physically tired, I guess….
Outside is gray, cloudy, 46 (F)degrees feels like 42 with some rain…🌧️

Another riveting Lincoln Lawyer legal drama, which I enjoyed as a quick read/escapist change from chewy classic high brow faire🤩 The author is also the main writer for the Netflix series. Season 4 will cover this book I just read. While the production does change the narrative a bit, due to technology changes, and character alterations, the major plots do remain intact along with the suspense and added humor. He’s a good writer. And he certainly knows LA😎….oh, did I mention the stories take place in Los Angeles, California?🌞

Not typical at all! What a great character! I loved her eccentricities!
Click to expand...
I loved so much of the characterization in this show. The lead's eccentricities, the comic relief not being an idiot, the lovable mentor, the wide variety of side characters... so many people with full personalities! I think that's what makes the show successful; you really get sucked into everything and feel for everyone. Even if that feeling is great dislike, HH 👀

Both leads are up for more, so if the creater can come up with stories, and Netflix agrees, there may be more in the future!

AM- awake at 6:30am (PDT) after 8+ hours of sleep. Weird dream just before waking up about seeing an avalanche, on tv, then going there, finding my stepmom and her husb at the lodge nearby, climbing out and away from it and then going above it in a helicopter with my stepmom’s husb piloting the chopper. So weird….🤔
Outside is mostly sunny, 47 (F)degrees feels like 45, with HIGH pollen🌤️🌷🤧
