It is late and I should be sleeping but my mind is racing. Do you lie in bed and think about what all you need to do tomorrow? I do…and it drives me crazy. Or I lie there and realize I didn’t do something today that I meant to do. Like go shopping and buy dog food for my three 55 t0 60 pound dogs. I guess I will give them hot dogs and dog biscuits for breakfast. Good thing the store is only two miles away.

Talking about sleeping…..I am not a doctor and I am not prescribing any medicine but I have found if I take a motion sickness pill before I got to bed, it really relaxes me and I fall to sleep and wake up so refreshed. I should have done that about l0pm. lol I am a lot like my mom and I hate pills. Even if I have a headache, I try to put off taking anything. I say, it will go away once I fall asleep.

My thought that is really keeping me awake is news of the death of someone I knew from 6th grade thru high school. His name was Steve and he was my 6th grade boyfriend. He was very popular and remained so thru high school. He was so cute. He reminded me of Elvis Presley…with his dark hair and good looks. I didn’t really keep up with him but I saw him in l979, I believe. Then again in l989 maybe. He lived in my hometown where my parents still live.

My best friend, next to my mom, is Martie and she lives in Dover, NC. We have known each other since we were three years old and she told me, we met in a ditch. I don’t really remember that part. It doesn’t matter how many months or years it has been since we have seen or talked to each other, our conversation picks up like it was just yesterday. She is still the same wonderful person she was as a teenager girl. She never would speak badly about anyone. She is a good Christian woman. I always said she was my best friend…but, she didn’t say that about me but it didn’t matter. She had a few really close girlfriends and I think she would never chose one over another because she wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

So, I guess my thoughts for today are of my youth and friendships. Nothing earth-shattering. Just memories of people who were/are important to me.

Good night.
