Picture for the Day
My Christmas Dragon from Grandson Luke

I haven’t slept well in the last few nights. I keep waking up and my knees hurt.
In the drawer in the little cabinet by the bed are some Ambien CR tablets that my lung Doctor prescribed for just such occasions. But I am a little wary of taking them. It seems they have side effects. One of which is sleep walking.
I have to admit that’s scary. I walk so poorly when I’m awake what would I do in my sleep. If I fall down can Betty get me up? Will I break something and I don’t mean part of the house.
Now the journal of Sleep Science says that same pill has caused some people to send e-mails while sleeping. One even invited people to a party at her house. The wording was crazy but the invitation was clear.
Now I’m not afraid that I would send e-mails. I hardly ever do that when I’m awake.
But blogging that’s a separate thing.
Wonder if I took the pill , went to bed, and two hours later still asleep I got up and went to the computer room. I would turn on the computer, go to my blog and type in an entry. Then I would publish it and turn off the computer. I would go back to bed and never knew it had happened.
So my dear blogging friends be on the alert.
If my blog is weirder than usual. No forgot that. I don’t think that’s possible.
If my blog makes less sense than usual . No forget that too. It makes so little sense most of the time now.
Instead if my blog is not weird and makes good sense I probably wrote it while I was sleeping.
Come to think of it I don’t remember writing this one.
Just don’t tell the people at the journal of Sleep Science.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Tommy UK goes out to the Lake of the Loons every day after school. He rides out on his father’s snowmobile. He wants Tammy to come with him but she says the whole thing makes no sense and she doesn’t want to be part of it.
What he has discovered is that the big hole in the middle of the lake that was formed when the whale broke through the ice is not freezing over. The ice on the lake next to it is getting thicker but the hole is not freezing.
The local DNR man took Tommy UK aside and asked what he had done but Tommy denied doing anything. The DNR seems as confused as Tommy UK.
Pastor Joan is busy working toward the next Oops crisis. Her sister, though not happy about the deceit is going along with it. She will have notarized forms from her by Monday. The Doctor is a bigger problem. She needs proof that Oops is autistic in the form of letter from a Doctor. She has no idea how to do that.
Further she still has to find somebody to baby sit Oops and someway to keep Oops from doing anything weird when the Social Worker comes on Monday.
The whole thing seems impossible.
Then there is the problem of Herman. Not that she isn’t glad that he has given his life to God. She is very glad but he is driving her nuts. He keeps stopping by the office and the parsonage with questions about obscure biblical passages. As if she had the answer to everything.

Wrap UP

A good breathing day. In the morning I called my old insurance office in Upper Michigan and canceled the policy as of February 11. Lots of memories associated with that office. Then I did some more organizing of my computer. After lunch Betty went for therapy on her arm and I began to take the decorations off the tree. We will finish the tree tomorrow ( I hope). Then I visited some links. Now I need a breathing treatment.
