Boiled over

Tired... and this sounds familiar as the first word of a blog post.  Bet it's come up before.  I may have to resort back to the hangover-inducing sleep aid tablets tonight.  I just don't seem able to stay asleep in the morning, no matter how late I've gone to bed the night before.  And if I go to sleep too early, I lie there awake, thinking, which isn't a good thing these days (Exercise to wear me out has been suggested - there are so many reasons that would be a good idea...).

Not a very productive day.  Changed the batteries in the garage door opener again and got it working... for now.  Gave Steve the contractor a deposit check and keys to the house (work might begin next week - some time this weekend I'll clear the stuff out of the two rooms in the basement that'll be having a concrete wall poured in them).  Went out and got the shades of eye shadow Karen lent me last weekend (I've gotten past not wearing any makeup, which I did from this past New Year's until Lookout Mountain, really), plus a teeny tiny travel hair dryer.  And I'm now cooking the purple hull peas I got at the farmers' market in Huntsville.  Waaaay out of practice cooking anything other than what will heat up in a microwave within 5 minutes: the water in the pot of peas boiled over onto the stove top, even with me sitting right here next to it to keep an eye on it.

Not very exciting, but I'm just finding it so hard to be motivated to do anything.  I just want to crawl into bed and curl up there, except now I'm afraid I'm going to have more nightmares.  Fabulous.  Awake, asleep, it doesn't stop.

I tried to upload video of Jerry's last singing that Bill gave me over the weekend, but for some reason it uploaded without audio.  A quick Google search showed that that can happen and that there are apps to deal with it, but I haven't explored further to figure out what I need to do.  The original DVD isn't divided into chapters, so it took forever just to get it onto the computer, and forever again to convert it to the proper format for uploading... and then to find out the audio wouldn't play was just too annoying.
