Well @creative_writer I only slept for two hours. Trying to go back to sleep but wide awake. Keep trying I guess. Hope you are sound asleep.

Oh no that’s no good @creative_writer . Hope it’s not a virus. I feel good so far today. Cooking tacos for lunch. Pay day today yippee. Will be able to pay off my credit card. Might have a nap after lunch - see if I’m tired. Going to the pub mid-afternoon for a few drinks. Used a jalapeno chilli out of my garden for tacos.

Just aim to do some uni work @creative_writer . What are you studying? I did history and politics majors. Did honours and PhD in history. Then worked in Politics Dept. retired nearly 13 years ago - took a redundancy package. Love being retired except is hard sometimes with all the bills going up and groceries too.
