We arriving so late into St. Catharines with my judgement and decision-making ability impaired. There was a gap in the vertical blinds and I knew I needed to sleep-in to try to catch up on sleep. How to block the sun in the morning? I know! I’ll hang a blanket up over the valance curtain rod to block it – perfect! Now, find a blanket, stand on a rickety chair to drape it, and viola! It wasn’t until the next morning I realized that the blinds weren’t broken, they were just open. I just needed to pull the strings.
I wonder sometimes about the lack of sleep medical professionals deal with – I can’t even figure out blinds, let alone deal with an emergency.
August 7th, 2012 Extra-Ordinary: After years of making effort to prepare foods to accommodate my brother-in-law’s and nephew’s allergies, I discovered that all they wanted was a bag of marshmallows. Raw, not cooked. Just marshmallows. Straight from the bag. Sigh.
