Dreamland

Last night was the first night I've had alone in eons. No oldies prowling and no husband poking me.

I know people who cannot sleep when they are home alone. They hear every creak in the house and get nervous. I am the exact opposite. When I am home alone, I lock up, set the alarm and go to bed. When the oldies are here, I have one ear and one eye open listening for a fall or a fire. The oldies made it safely to Texas. I will write more about that later.

Sleep does not come easily to me. I guess my body is trying to tell me something because last night I slept for more than nine hours.
