I Go back to work Tomorrow

I go back to work on Monday, August 25, 2008. I will be making my blog entries in the afternoons rather then mornings, unless I wake up at midnight and cannot get back to sleep. If I do then I will get online and make a blog entry.

When my grandmother could not sleep, she got up in the middle of the night and cleaned house. If I have problems sleeping, I get on line. I am not sure what my mother does if she cannot sleep. I suppose I should ask her. I do not think she gets up and cleans house. To begin with, we have the low wattage light bulbs and they do not give enough light to sweep or mop floors.

I think I just came up with a subject for a poem, a poem about my grandmother doing housework in the middle of the night. Grandma would get up and do housework. Grandpa would just lay there sleeping and snoring. He was a sound sleeper; it took a lot to wake him up. Grandma running a vacuum in the middle of the night never woke him up.

It is interesting my grandmother had trouble sleeping and all she drank was a little hot tea during the day. Grandpa had no trouble sleeping and he drank "cowboy coffee" from sunrise to sunset. There is another good subject for a poem as well.

1. Grandma did housework in the middle of the night
2. Coffee never kept Grandpa awake
3. My first day back to work

Those should keep me busy if I have trouble sleeping. I always anticipate having problems sleeping because two or three days out of the week I do have problems getting to sleep. I think my biggest problem is I am a night person working in a day person's world.
