SLEEP; who needs any stupid SLEEP!



Of course we all do.
Lack of proper sleep has been known to cause entirely too many ailments!
Huh?
What about ailments causing lack of quality sleep, or the medication for said maladies causing insomnia?
Vicious cycles… around, around we go, where we stop nobody knows…

Merry-go-rounds… in this case are not very MERRY, at all!
Try to remember a time in September, wait its October…when I felt better and was sassy lass, no mellow fellow here, except Hubby of course; sorry at a loss here!
Just when I think that I am taking two steps forward,
I seem to take twice as many backwards.

I know this is life and none of us were sold a bill of goods that it was going to be easy!
Rough patches are why we need to go on…if for no other reason than to get to the other side of it all to see how it all turns out, right?
Sure, that’s the reason! If only!

Enough about me, although to be honest I am only halfway through my medication, it is a six day supply and it may turn out to be nothing more than like spitting into the wind to put out a fire, huh? I still might need an alternative medication or more of the same…
Told you that steroids can make you think weird, but this isn’t as strong as my IV ones; what gives?

Any-who…
Oh that’s right, I said I was moving on, away from me and my soap opera life of the, “stomach turns”…Thanks Carol Burnett, but mine is real and in real time…WHAT?!

Number one son called a few times this week to talk to his Dad, my Hubby; they were brain storming on how to proceed with the repair of lift’s pilings.
Hubby, who initially put the components together way back in July of 2003 with the aide of a couple of old timers, so old that one has passed away and the other could have too, but we lost contact due to his wife having dementia and me being not up to par either, he was over eighty ten years ago, so who knows really...
Although, we used to bump into him on occasion when out, but not recently, a bit sad.

Now, really moving on…
Anyway, Hubby seems to think that instead of the individual large heavy wooden pilings that have to go in nine to ten feet according to half of their length, and are extremely heavy to maneuver and end up getting wood borers, but this time he would rap them if he has to go that way again, but *instead he could use a grouping of three four inch ones of PVC put together in a triangle using either carriage bolts or threaded rods through the PVC, they would be twenty footers in length then insert rebar down the middle and pour the cement into them with them eight to ten feet under the sand, but much easier to maneuver, not that dissimilar to the ones holding up the dock, which are singular four inch ones, all this time, and the dock is a 28’X 24’ wooden structure, and it has been in existence since after Hurricane Charley in 2004 when our old dock had been destroyed; this is still standing strong and sound to this day!

*Number one son will be coming down Monday with a sludge pump and a pool pump to help Hubby in the installation; they are quite helpful in displacing the water and sand during installation with whichever way they decide to go, wood 8”circumference pilings 18 feet long or three triangular stuck together 4’’circumference PVC twenty feet long.
Between those and the winches, Hubby thinks that it will work like it did last time to get the poles inserted appropriately.
Calling any structural engineers out there, for a thought on the PVC triangle concept, with any input that could be beneficial?

On that note of any ideas out there, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and kindly ask you to count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who, and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
