No sleep @Mazarita but rest, I see no stars tonight, pretty black out there, and cold.

Glad you have had some rest, @Maggie.
Maybe the moon has gone down. It was very full when I was coming home last night. Great to see. Do you watch the night every night?

Yes @Mazarita on a full moon my bedroom seems to glow. I don't think it's sleep deprivation or imagination, and the Milky Way is very bright some nights.
Sometimes yesterday is a good word. I had a yesterday filled with unexpected. Today is a pj day and a nothing day. Blob blob.

@Maggie, hehe, I too have been blob blob a fair bit lately.
How magical your room glowing in full moonlight. Do you watch in the dark? I'm always amazed when I see the milky way in the night sky when I visit a friend in the country once every year or two.

Sometimes I step outside a look up. It's beauty beyond words. I love nature a bit of a freaK with it.

Awesome that you are into nature like that, @Maggie. I think disconnection from nature is more freakish. I've been missing the ocean since my physio told me not to do walks on the beach at the moment (leg problems). I hope I can get out there again before too long, and I hope my legs will hold up for it better for the rest.
Looking forward to seeing your picture when it clears.

Is it an injury @Mazarita. You have probably mentioned it on the thread, sorry to,press repeat button. I can't walk too far, aches and pains, but I have done 4 walks around a man made lake. There's a stream, paddocks green as, and bush. Fur baby loves it. My neighbour has two stuffy pups, big pups. She invited me to join her last week, well months ago really, but it takes me a while to search for a bit of courage. Located it and a plus all round. She walks ahead as my fur baby is a tad scared of their size and rough playing.

It's not been properly diagnosed yet, @Maggie. My doctor and physio suspect something called peripheral neuropathy, which means nerves are damaged or dying in feet and lower legs. I hope it's not that but I've been living with a significant pain when walking for about four years now. I used to love dancing, boohoo. I don't mind repeating about it.
The walk around the lake sounds lovely. Great that you plucked up the courage to become friends with your neighbour.
What breed is your fur baby?

Chihuahua @Mazarit 3.7kgs of pure love.
Gee that sounds awful, you leg. Giving up dancing is a hard call. It's hard when you have to start hanging up the pleasures in life. I had to give up my guitar playing a few years ago. I was never out of the ordinary, but I loved it. Arthritis.

No wonder your furbaby is a bit wary of the staffys, @Maggie. So good you have a pure love creature around you.
Yes, I used to sing too but my voice has deteriorated. That's my own doing with smoking, but I still miss singing. Sorry you had to give up the guitar playing, that's hard. I play a little too, but very rarely these days, almost never. Without being able to sing, it's not that much fun.
I have osteo arthritis too, that's likely to be part of the feet problems in particular. The feet and legs have been feeling better for the rest though, which I'm glad of.
