4 hours sleep...yipee!

Yep that's right I actually managed to sleep for 4 hours, so maybe the tide is turning in the right direction. I have been trying out eating almonds before going to bed and taking melatonin, so maybe that is helping.

Anyway since 5.30 am (after an hour and a half of tossing and staring at the ceiling) I have been reading the blogs. I check out my usual suspects, most of them are arts based. Then I checked out the links of one blog which led me on to whole host of other sites. Some days I like to do that, just check out blogs and websites, occasionally I come across a blog/website that really hooks me in. I found one like that this morning and probably the thing that drew me to it was it sounded so much like me, 10 yrs ago. After reading about 18 months of archives (thankfully she only has time to write few times a month) I decided to add her to my blog lines. I do this and then every couple of months update my list, deleting the ones I don't visit anymore.

So the rest of the day beckons, what delights are ahead of me.

Taking Angus to the groomers at last. He was due to go 3 wks ago but then that dog mauled him. I forgot to mention we actually found the dog in question, it was actually just 2 doors down the street. We didn't even know they had dogs. Normally we hear the dogs in the gardens as we walk pass but we never heard any dogs in that house. Also you can see their back garden from our house , again no evidence of dogs, plenty of kids committing dangerous stunts on the trampoline but no dogs. The only reason we found out, was because it and its companion were running loose last Sunday and Angus was going beserk!

Tax return. For some reason the tax return falls on my shoulders and to be honest with the tax programs available, it not that bad. However this year, I am stumped. In November the company Gordon works for went from a public company to a private one. Consequently any shares he had were divested (I think that the right term). It should be a relatively easy task but the form the finance company has provided doesn't seem to have all the details, so I will be digging around for that information today. Not that I really want to do the return as I know we will have a hefty bill but it has be done. .

Ironing. I have been avoiding it for 2 weeks now and the closet is looking empty, so I suppose I will have to some of that today.

Hopefully that will leave some time for my stitching. I also have a couple of gifts to complete, so the day should be full enough.
