All I Want To Do Is Sleep

I am diabetic and my blood sugar has been a bit erratic as of late. Last night I couldn’t sleep a wink due in part to the condition and also probably some sleeping problems. Rarely do I call out for work but I felt like I needed to. Today I have had no caffeine in hopes of sleeping better tonight. Let’s hope for better rest tonight because all I want to do from 11:30 to 6:00 is sleep soundly. Soon I hope to get that sleep study done. Here’s to sweet dreams.

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix

Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix have some surreal social commentary that is very reminiscent of what is going on right now. Institutional corruption, fake news and manipulation of facts and denial of truth. It’s my favorite of the series.

Sears Closing Is The End Of An Era At Northgate Mall in Chattanooga

Like a lot of brick and mortar locations Sears in Chattanooga’s Northgate Mall is closing. After being there for decades their last day is at the end of January. Nationally Sears and K-Mart have suffered due to low sales and heavy competition from other stores and online shopping. I hate to see things like this happen because it means jobs lost and more empty space in shopping malls. I hated when the Radio Shack in the same mall closed up a couple years ago. I hope for the best for those workers who will have to find a new job soon.
