A Little Staycation

Whew, I made it through to my mini stay-cation of four days off. Work has been taxing me lately, not really the work itself, but getting through the day. I continue to have problems sleeping, and again not getting to sleep, but getting back to sleep if I wake up. And of course, I wake up every night with a million things going through my mind. My doctor prescribed a sleep/stress aid but I'm reluctant to take it too often. I don't want to get dependant on it where I will never be able to sleep without it. I will say that it does work pretty good, when I do allow myself to take it. That is when I've missed several nights of sleep and just can't go without another one.

My time off, what should I do and what do I want to do. Well, I should finish my spring cleaning, but I want to go to Springfield on Friday, do a little shopping, and bring the kiddo's home with me. I haven't even asked to see if they could come home with me, but like I said, that's what I want to do. This week is "National Scrapbook Week", so all my favorite craft stores are having some really good sales that I would like to browse. I don't need a thing, but it's always fun to look, and I'm sure I would find something that I just have to have.

I also need to get with my Mom sometime this weekend and help her with her new computer. She bought a new laptop and it has Windows 8 installed on it, I managed to get it registered and set up but oh my, the operating system is so different from any Windows before it. I finally ordered her a "Windows 8 for Dummies" book which arrived this week. Someone told me those were the best books for most people to learn from. Hopefully it will help us both as I'm due to upgrade my dinosaur laptop soon.

I'm not sure if I'll make it back here before the weekend. I hope whoever is reading this has a wonderful weekend and that you get to enjoy it how you want. As for me, I'm gonna take each day as it comes.
