No, that isn't a typo. Fit to be tired. I haven't had very many good nights of sleep for more than a week and last night was no exception. I woke up this morning around 3:00 and never really got back to sleep. I went to the pool and swam for 45 minutes. Then this evening I went to a free water jogging class to see what that is all about. The pool has a couple of those floaty belts you use to stay upright in the water, so I can do it during lap swim. I felt really stupid. The belts ride up on a slender person, so I think I need someone to be there to pull on it like Melanie does to Scarlet's corset in Gone With the Wind. Or was that a servant trying to break Scarlet's rib?
Now that makes sense. Scarlet wasn't always friendly. I wonder if corsets were invented by servants.
Water jogging: Have you ever done it? I felt like a dork bobbing around in the water, but I got a heck of a workout and I can feel an ache in my shoulders. It feels good and about an hour ago I came crashing down and could barely keep my eyes open. But I am making a Better Than ... Cake (I don't want that word coming up in Google searches) and so I kept going.
Have you ever had this cake? I'm making it for a potluck tomorrow at work. It is a chocolate cake with sweetened condensed milk and carmel topping poured over it, toffee bits sprinkled and then when it is cold tomorrow morning, I will frost it with Cool Whip, put it back in the fridge and let the Cool Whip set while I swim and get ready for work. Then I will top it with more toffee bits. I may drizzle Hershey's chocolate syrup over it. I may not. I don't know.
Anyway, I have to sleep now. And if you hear screaming in the middle of the night, it will be me. You should be able to hear it far and wide if I don't get some decent sleep.

Oh dear. You haven't been sleeping well? I'm so sorry. Don't forget the basics: no caffine after 1 p.m., before you go to bed eat a banana, a piece of turkey or drink warm milk. I'm sorry, but no exercise a couple hours before you want to sleep. Exercise wakes up your body. Sleep is a habit, if somehow your body is now in the habit of waking at 3, then you might consider taking half a sleeping pill to help sleep through the night. If your cats are disturbing your sleep, they have to stay out of your bedroom. I really hope you got a good night sleep. That cake sounds yummy! Is there any left?
wondering if you slept good after that work out...not had that cake but it sounds good.
I have long had a problem falling asleep where as my best friend is like you and wakes early... Stress? Hormones? It really stinks though.. Michelle
A beautiful table!
