December 22

A day of ups and downs. Slept until 2 am, moved to the floor in front of the fireplace in the living room. Really strange because I have to sleep with the lights on. Got up at 6am, went to Fred Meyer, walked to the post office and then shopped for a kitchen light when they opened at 7 am. I really am fighting restlessness. This is when I have to get a little help from my medication. After about half and hour and a walk, I tend to settle down. I have been fortunate to go for walk with my wife, my son Michael, my daughter Tiffany, and my brother-in-law Bill. While I was out on one of my walks, my children had snuck out, got a Christmas tree, and decorated it for us. That made me really feel great and lifted my spirits because we have not had time to get a tree this year. Once again thanks for vtho0se that commented on my last entry. Nice to hear from Lindell, Ernie, Tina, Reed's parents, Jon, and also the others. Thanks for making my day. Hopefully tonight will be as good as the last part of today.
