My Life Is One Of Indecision

I'm absolutely exhausted today. It's the change of seasons - temperatures have been swinging 10-25 degrees F from day to day, sometimes within hours. One day it's darned cold - a preview of winter to come, the next it's sticky and hot - a reminiscence of the summer left behind. My body just can't adjust, and when I can't adjust, I can't sleep effectively. When I usually only get six hours or so of sleep, and now am down to five hours along with waking up every two hours, I'm not doing well. Normally I could put this on stress, and there's certainly some of that in my life (always), but I can't even blame that right now. No - I'm exhausted because my brain won't sleep so my body also won't.



The weather can't make up its' mind. I can's make up my mind
either. All in all, this is NOT the way to operate a life. I have
to get my act together. 



Part of the problem of sleep is my complete indecision about this year's holiday card. Normally I have my cards well underway by this time. Sometimes I've been known to start them as early as July. But here I am, in late September, and I'm still undecided on my theme for the year. I do know I'll be making a smaller number of cards this year, but it's still not going to happen at all if I don't get my brain to make some decisions.



Perhaps I should think about attending a meeting of the
Indecisive Society. Or maybe not. It's pretty clear when
they meet, the time, the date, and I suppose any Church
Hall will work. 



I suppose another part of the problem is my next decision pending. DH needs to sign up for Medicare and I'm supposed to determine which supplemental insurance plan(s) he should opt for. I realize it's not earthshaking, and that, like any health plan, it could change again in a year, but I have to have a basis for my decision. I'm rather unenthusiastic about this one - it bores me, even though it's extremely important.



Tomorrow I'm going to pull out all of my bins of holiday card
materials and make some firm decisions. That clock just
won't stop ticking and Winter Is Coming. 



So, since I have an extra amount of time this morning, maybe I'll just bury myself in a book for a while before I leave for the swimming pool. It's always my go-to in any case - nothing much better than drowning myself in a world of imagination. I suppose I could also start to get my thoughts together and start gathering my equipment and supplies for this year's holiday card. The clock's a'ticking, after all. Or maybe I could have a cup of tea ... or maybe I could grab another 30-45 minutes of sleep ... or maybe ... ... ...   Have a great Tuesday. I'll be back tomorrow.
