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.
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.
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.
ReplyDeleteI am getting to my wits end. Granted,I don’t have any wits, so it doesn’t take too long.
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThe reflections-amazing. Well captured, AC.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and gorgeous reflections.
ReplyDeleteLast 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.
ReplyDelete2 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteLove the 2nd shot. No sleep is not good so I hope that you can get some answers.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the tamarack tree shots each year and yes they do have a way of changing. BTW I liked your comment about the Zippo post today. ope you get some sleep n soon.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous trees! Exquisite fall color, and I like your goofy dangling mittens :). Sorry about the sleep issues, that's quite awful.
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is just stunning. A really nice composition.
ReplyDeleteI do love the reflection photos! Unlike my late husband who took photos of landscapes (unless I nagged him), I often prefer pictures with people in them.
ReplyDeleteI like people pics too both in and out of landscapes.
DeleteDude. I second your frustration. Wish I could do more.
ReplyDeleteOh, it’s cold enough for mittens! I love the bright plaid coat against the foliage and the sky. And I love the picture you took of the trees, with the reflection in the water.
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry that your sleep is so interrupted, that is so bad for ones health, and very frustrating.
I hope the urologist can offer some relief soon, and that the tamaracks keep giving you those moments of calm and beauty
ReplyDeleteThe reflections are great. Lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe tamarack are very showy at this time of yeAR.
ReplyDeleteThose trees are just eye-popping!
ReplyDeleteThose are stunning shots. The tamaracks really produce a beautiful color don't they? Love the reflections.
ReplyDeleteCute mittens but the trees are gorgeous!

Catheterizing sounds so painful! I'm so sorry. Your photos are so very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Tamarack! You got the lighting just right!
