Sunday, May 4, 2025 – Laundry and Housekeeping

Hey Sweetie,
Had a terrible night sleep, couldn’t figure out why until I started researching the PowerAde drink I’ve been having lately, turns out there’s a lot of caffeine in it, even though a lot of websites claim there is NO caffeine in it. My knee was bother me a bit as well, so I was off and on dozing all night. Finally woke up to a bad thunderstorm around 4:00 a.m., when Lola insisted on crawlying into bed with me. I wouldn’t mind if she stayed over on one side or at the foot, but she insists on creeping all the way up to the spare pillow, which I use to rest my phone on when I’m reading, so it got a bit uncomfortable for awhile. It rained solidly until nearly 7:00, and I was very happy when I checked it later and didn’t find any leaks, thank goodness. Spent the day doing laundry and some housekeeping, following my pre-surgery regimen. Watched an incredible movie called Cosmos, incredible because it literally had a $7000 budget, took five years to make, and still looked very impressive. I found it intriguing because it was a male buddy film without the violence, which doesn’t happen very often. The best element of all was the score, which had a magnificent John Williams feel to it, and really kept the film moving along. The actors and crew all wrote, directed and did all the actually crew work, so it was obviously quite the labor of love. They still managed to capture an amazing amount of tension considering it was mostly filmed inside a car. Highly recommended! Anyway, it was a fairly relaxing day, trying to catch up on my rest before surgery on Wednesday, can’t wait! I mostly ignored it until this evening, when I decided to do another heat/ice treatment, and that actually is causing me more pain than I’ve had all day! Think I’m going to quit doing that! Almost done with tea, etc., so I’ll say good night, my darlin’! Love you!
