Thought this might make a companion thread to Anybody else up yet.

So I'm away to brush my teeth, collect my book + reading glasses, and hope for a restful night.

So good night all. smile

Have to stay up until eleven as it is too early to take my medication. Got out of phase earlier in the day and have stayed there. I felt like going to bed an hour ago but then I would have had to wake again to take it at 11 or be woken by pain in the middle of the night. Can't win.

I'll have to a couple of online jigsaws.

Hope my phone is working tomorrow..grrrrrr....

Go to bed at eleven, am dozing nicely when at about 1 am something starts that "my battery is low" beep.

Decide I must have left phone receiver too loose on its stand, lift it and replace it firmly, return to dozing.

Five minutes later beeps restart. Unplug phone and take it downstairs to kitchen and close door on it.

As I get back into bed beeps begin again in my ear. Collect everything in bedroom with a battery and take it downstairs.

Re-enter bedroom to another beep. Suspect it is the smoke alarm on the top landing. Look in cupboard under stair for new battery. Get out stepladder and try to remove cover of smoke alarm (not usually my job). Seems impossible.

Turn on laptop and log into Gransnet while I listen out for more beeps. Silence for twentyfive minutes.

It is now after two o'clock. If I go back to bed I could be woken again in five minutes. If I don't there will be no more beeps but I will be fit for nothing tomorrow.

Sod's Law, eh, elegran? Bet you're wishing you'd just gone to bed when you felt like it at ten o'clock or whenever! [Hope you're still zzzzz-ing]

I played on the computer until three, to occasional beeps which continued all night. Closing the bedroom door muffled them a bit but I can't say I slept well.

Opened a new bag of prescriptions that I got last week but did not need until today. The one that ran out yesterday is not there.

Plans to do not-a-lot are postponed while I walk to the pharmacy to get a replacement.

Night all! I am not posting this just to be the latest.

I wish I could get to bed earlier. I was trying to knit and decrease on two different sides of the left front, in two different sequences and watch the television at the same time. It has done for me. Its bobbly wool so counting rows is difficult. I have sat up to get it back to a point t which I know exactly where I am. It has got very late yet again! Why do I never learn!

May sleep rest easy on your eyelids
May your head rest gently on your pillow
May you drift gently into that magical realm
Where all your dreams are of restful things.

Then! Arise, full of the joys of life!
Invigoured, and full of joy!
Rise, full of energy
Ready to face
The day ahead!
