Last night was better: not perfect but much better. I had 4+ hours of pretty deep sleep plus another 1 or 2 of okay sleep. While not enough after 4 poor nights to perhaps overcome the deficit, it's still much better.
Even Alexa is having her difficulties. Look at the second item on the list.
Our pharmacy has a seniors shopping day every Thursday; they give us 20% off regularly priced items. On the last Thursday of the month, they add a $10 voucher for seniors who spend $50 or more. For many years, we would add to the list during the month and wait for that Super Senior day. We got away from the practice during the height of the pandemic when we eschewed in-person shopping for long stretches, but we're now edging back to the pattern.
Of course, for most of those years, we made lists without Alexa's help, but she saves us from keeping track of paper lists on fridges. I am not sure where on the fries came from, but we did want a new cold pack for Sue's sprained ankle.
I still don't have an Alexa. I think she's a Soviet spy. (Not really -- but it is a little creepy sometimes!)
ReplyDeleteI am also a little leery of a device that can talk to me from my computer! Glad you got a little more sleep. :-)
ReplyDeleteI won't let Alexa in my house! I live alone and a sudden voice is liable to make me jump a foot.
ReplyDeleteI guess you were out of the usual bag of frozen peas for an ice pack?
Glad to hear you got some sleep.
ReplyDeleteNo Alexa for me either. Fries? Ha ha. Glad to hear sleep is somewhat better.
ReplyDeleteActually I have more in common with your last blog about not getting enough sleep. I had a real scare last week, having no sleep and symptoms of what I thought were like a TIA (or a small stroke). What a relief when it turned out to be Vertigo and now I have a new pill that helps me to get a full night's sleep.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get an answer to your not sleeping. It can do a job on you. Fingers crossed for you.
I can't imagine having Alexa in my home. Just the thought gives me the creeps. It's like having a spy.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have an Alexa and utilize many of her functions, I still don't use the list function. We write it on a whiteboard on the wall and I snap a picture of it with my smartphone as I'm heading out the door to the store.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to get away from technology so no Alexa for me either.
ReplyDeleteYou are Sooo twenty-first century. I shudder to think what my family could do to Alexa.
ReplyDeleteSleep well!
My family uses Alexa. Me…not so much.
ReplyDeleteHope you get some hours of sleep tonight.
I don't always use my Alexa (not for lists) but I love her for Question of the Day, reminders, timers and other random inquiries. And music! She does misunderstand me a bit too frequently though. Hope Sue's ankle is improving!
ReplyDeleteI just wrote out a paper list for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI would not want an Alexa or Siri.
ReplyDeleteOur kids have a mutual e-shopping list, with photos attached.
ReplyDeleteI didn't sleep well last night. sigh.
