And one more thing...

It’s interesting—I awoke, as often I do, fairly early today.  Still, I didn’t think this was one of my usual “morningbrain” incidents, maybe because it began around 5:00 instead of the more usual earlier hour that is my norm.  Early enough, I guess (though.) 

 

It seems my daily routine may be contributing to my sleeplessness incidents.  I tend to drink a lot during my days (coffee, tea, today, thank you, libations of the past were more of the “adult” variety until I realized this was just not to be for me, beginning, maybe, ten years ago, which drinking led to my current alcoholic abstinence, which abstinence is not only a personal desire, but a medical necessity) and this drinking today leaves me with an overabundance of internalized water which seems to insist on “getting out” overnight, usually with a number of half-conscious trips to the bathroom.  Not a real problem for me, so long as I don’t try to waken, just the way I am.  

 

This morning, though, I’ve noticed something new.  It seems like every little sound is vying for my attention—something I’ve not had any problem with before, but something that may be useful, maybe even a bit endearing, considering Beethoven’s deafness was supposedly psychological in nature as opposed to being organic, something that absolutely could not be overcome.  Am I like Beethoven here?  The Great Beethoven?  Wow—I’ll certainly take that explanation, if at all possible!  And, maybe I won’t have to wear those $800 “hearing aids” forever if that is the case (I don’t like them.  Can’t scratch my ears when they itch.) 

 

IN ANY CASE, today’s job is to try to define my house as it was.  As anyone might tell you, I am not particularly shy with a camera, and have even, in the past, thought I should document my home should the unthinkable happen.  Can’t remember if I ever did this, though.  Spent a couple of hours last night going through this laptop (trusty ole’ Hp) copying everything that might apply.  Wondering if I may have made a CD with the house on in while using my former laptop?  (This just occurred to me—it’s been several years since the former went “keys up” on me.)  Will stop the writing here to look up the case of CD’s I saved early in the current days of the after-fire.  Back in a bit.

 

Well—it was a 2 hour “bit,” but I found them.  Now to review them.  And one more thing--wrote this just a few months ago and left it on a crowded desktop,  Awakened today, at the usual hour (hah!), and while looking at my desktop rediscovered this.  So....
