Short Night and Tamarack Delight

It’s not 5AM, and Sleepwatch just reported 2h 15m sleep last night. Although I think it missed an hour, it’s getting ridiculous. Having to visit the loo so many times doesn’t help. I am strongly considering recommencing catheterizing before bed. I really don’t want to have to do this, but I might need to. I am scheduled to see the urologist again later this month, but if there is anything to be done, surgically, it will take time to set up, and I don’t know if, indeed, anything can be done. 

Meanwhile . . . We are back with the good ole tamarack trees again today. I think I photograph these ↓ two trees at the far end of the pond every year, but each year is different. I caught very long reflections this time.


That was a telephoto, but this ↓ is a much wider view from, probably, the very same spot.


I photographed Sue, and she photographed me because that is part of what we do together. The one of me is from the previous, duller day, but I brought some light and colour back in edit. The advantage of that photo is also having a cloudy sky. 



Look at my silly mittens dangling.

  1. The time change has been hard on me too. This is the third morning in a row I have been up before 4 am. Fortunately though I have been going to bed at a fairly reasonable 9 so I'm not dying from lack of sleep.

    1. I am getting to my wits end. Granted,I don’t have any wits, so it doesn’t take too long.

  2. I hope you get some cat-naps at other times. What a pain! However, your creativity is still working! I kind of like number 2 best…the inclusion of all the other details is so pleasing!

  5. Last night was a miserable night here as well. Tim was in bed by 8, up and prowling by 2. Cats want out. Cats want in. My mind starts whirring. About the time I am wide awake, Tim comes back to bed. If I can get him to stay up even a couple hours later, it might help.

    2 hours though...that's not nearly enough time for you to recharge. It just seems as if you are not getting a lot of help figuring out how to handle this.

  6. Functioning on so little sleep on a regular basis is horrible. I sure do hope something can be done about this. The trees are beautiful.

  7. Love the 2nd shot. No sleep is not good so I hope that you can get some answers.

  9. Gorgeous trees! Exquisite fall color, and I like your goofy dangling mittens :). Sorry about the sleep issues, that's quite awful.
