5:55am

Trying to keep my eyes open.

It was hard to fall back asleep once back home last night.

I'd say it was around 12:30 to 1:00am that I drifted off.

Once asleep then I had acid reflux that kept waking me up.

5:30am came way too fast.

Sooooo tired!

8:00am

Well I was going to make more cookies this morning

but I'm too tired and I'm waiting for my ibuprofen

to kick in to make my body stop throbbing.

My next batch of cookies will be

pumpkin snickerdoodles.

I found a bunch of marked down cans of

pumpkin earlier this year at Kroger for .39 cents a can!

So I have been finding ways to use it up.

I love shopping those after holiday sales

and finding marked down baking stuff!

3:15pm

I laid down from 8:30 to 12:30 and took a 4 hour nap.

I always feel tired and my body throbs.

I try to watch how much ibuprofen I take

because it can mess with your liver.

Sometimes I tolerate the throbbing all over

and other times I have to take something

to get some relief.

Just took some ibuprofen because my whole

body is throbbing.

I hate feeling like this, miserable!

5:40pm

I took a shower which always seem to help

relax the muscles and inflammation.

Right now I'm working on another item

for my emergency supplies around here

considering the colder weather is here.

With winds, ice and snow you risk the chance

of being without power.  No power means no heat

unless you have a fireplace or a generator.

So here's the next thing I want to make

for an emergency called a terracotta heater

that will heat a small room.

I know you've all heard of ceramic electric heaters,

well this is pretty much like that except it runs

off candles.  Ceramic electric heaters have wires

that run through and heat up ceramic plates

then a fan blows that heat out into your room.

Place a couple of these terracotta heaters in a larger room

but make sure to watch over them like you

would any other candle to prevent fires.

You can check out how simple and cheap

they are to make on YOUTUBE.
