Helenka, Queen of Outer Space

Oh, I really appreciated getting a bit more than two hours of sleep before waking up with searing pain at 4:30 a.m. Definitely a night on which to swallow two more Robax. Only then was I able to sleep all the way to 8:15.

But the pain was a constant companion during the day as I alternated between bed and computer where I actually had a lot to do for the blind group. Otherwise, I just watched endless TV which did little to distract me from the pain. It was only around 9 p.m. when my torso began to feel human again. I'd also replied to church-John's email, bt only after I could type without writhing.

It's such an odd Halloween. There were some marvellous reinterpretations shown during the news. One City Councillor arranged for a drive-through treats distribution of packages that contained not only candy but also a Covide survival kit. I don't know what SuM and S. did … but I didn't hear the doorbell ring even once.

Anyway, I think I need some cookies to cheer me up. And then better sleepn than last night.
