I had a bit of a disturbed sleep. Not exactly sure why.Maybe something I ate, maybe my dry cough. So, it is not 6 a. m. yet. I am drinking my first cup of coffee.I have been up for two hours. I know that I will settle in and nap in a little while, but at this time I am trying to get the online stuff done that I need to. Some things are better in the early morning. I have done some on chatabout, just mostly because it is free money. I have started on SwagBucks as well. I am thinking that if I do go sit in the recliner to nap hubby can wake me up when he leaves. I hear cardinals and other birds singing about the sunrise. Last night we put up some lattice panels across the front, so we can enjoy time outside without feeling like every passer by is staring at us. The morning cool air feels great.

Sorry to hear you did not sleep well. At least you were productive with your online earning anyway. Hope you get a nap or something in today!

I have gotten a little more sleep. It is time for coffee now, I think.

I hope you're able to get that nap in. I was up early too this morning, not as early as you, as I only went to bed around 2 AM, but I was up by 7:30. I'm hoping to get more done today with the house. It's a beautiful day outside, and I just might take a few minutes to enjoy it.

@GardenGerty I just went to the local flower shop to pick up some peppermint plants and hoping that will work with my mouse problem.

Don't you have any area in the back where you can relax?

We will have at some point. I cannot seem to get all the weeds all cut down. I have a hot tub to set up back there, too. Mostly it is not that busy here, it just feels bare because we do not have covered porches and I am used to having an enclosed porch. It is all a process. I like having the lattice up as the front of the house has two picture windows.

@GardenGerty ...Oh, gotta love those picture windows. Must be fun to see things come into being too.

I had a broken night of sleep last night. I had a dream, we were walking at a shopping centre that has been gone for years, so I know that I was in my early 20's in the dream, and then I saw someone that I knew and I remember saying the person's name out loud, and then I remember a very strong smell of a chemical, and it caused me to cough in my dream and woke me up. I was so upset that I had a sore throat and was coughing! Weird. I hope that you can get part of your morning in before you need to rest. Then it will be like you get 2 days in just 1, enjoy it!

That dry cough was part of the problem for me and for my husband.

Do you have lots of cardinals at your place?

I probably do not have as many as @JolietJake, but I hear them every morning, and it is not unusual to look out the kitchen window and see one or more.

This would be a real trial for me if I lived on a street and felt people were looking at me if I were sitting out the front.

I am accustomed to having a covered porch and a lot more shrubbery and trees. It is really not busy here, but I do not have the covered porch now.

I seem to have an "off night" once or twice a week.
