Each night, I dread going to bed. I take my nighttime pills, which ultimately make me sleepy, but still I stay up. I went to bed last night at midnight. The girls woke me up at 7:00. Actually, the girls didn't wake me up as much as the rattling of paper did. They had found an envelope on a low shelf and were gearing up to tear it to pieces. So now I'm up but not raring to go. A nap sounds good now, and will sound even better this afternoon!
I watched the movie "The Reader" which came out in 2008. It is a compelling story about a young boy (teens) who is seduced by an older woman. The movie weaves around the aging of the young boy, who becomes a lawyer. Many years pass but while in law school, his class sits in on a trial of the woman who seduced him. The woman is charged with war crimes and was a Nazi guard at one of the concentration camps. It is a highly compelling story and the ending, which I won't give away, wasn't what I was expecting. Kate Winslet plays the woman, and sat every day of filming for 7 1/2 hrs for make-up and prosthetic prep.
It's warm enough outside today, that I turned the furnace off. It's supposed to be 64 today, 46 tomorrow and 32 on Saturday. I don't know whether to put a sweater on, or take it off. The backyard is still wet from rain and unfortunately, thanks to the girls, is also muddy. The good news about that is I KNOW if they have gone outside. Muddy paw prints give them away each time they come back in the house!
Jeff has a three day weekend coming up and I'm happy for him. He gets an extra day to rest, relax and do what he wants (more or less)! I don't know if he's supposed to work on the 20th but since he's not a Federal employee, it's likely that he is.
I'm planning on recording the inauguration on the Tivo. If I record it, I can fast forward through any bits that are boring.
