08-13-25 Get it done
I took a couple pictures in the pitch black before I went to bed last night around 11. One was the circle of my headlamp which resembled a moon. I had a terrible time trying to get to sleep. I didn’t bring my CPAP machine with me. I couldn’t get comfortable, although the mattress was amazing I still found my ankle to be uncomfortable. Once I did get to sleep, I woke up many times in the night and finally at 4:49. I decided I would get up and go to the bathroom before the cold hit and I would have to, and maybe there would still be some of the meteor shower left. As it happens, the moon was making it as bright as morning, and I didn’t even need a flashlight. I took a picture from near the trailer. I was in and one in the exact same spot that I took after the fire at nine; amazing difference.
Of course, I manage to get a little scratch on my foot from the raspberry bushes that Sawyer said he would clip away and I told him not to worry about it, sigh. He was more worried about me than I was, and it was right.
I got up I think around eight or nine can’t remember and went and sat on the deck, intending to read my book when suddenly people started appearing from every direction and a coffee was presented. I had a couple cups and then headed my way back to town.
Went home. I got showered and headed off to the office to get a little bit done before heading to the Rotary board meeting. We were very productive and I enjoyed the delicious Yorkies at the Heid-out.
Sometime after one, back at the office, I did get a lot of work done over the course of the afternoon and was very surprised when I stepped out to find how smoky it is. Turns out there’s a few fires just south of us. It is the first smoke of the summer though so that’s pretty amazing given the last couple of bad fire Summers.
Once home, I made a delicious meal and then sat with my feet up, watching my shows and giving myself a break. It is definitely time to head to bed though.
