Working on fence; Started effort to sleep without the aid of Lunesta.

June 12th, 2015


Worked most of the day on the backyard fence.
I purchased the lumber close to two months ago,
so I could be ready when motivated to accomplish
the task.  Then it rained for 4 weeks, while the lumber
sat in the covered and screened porch.
Started working about two weeks ago. A little here, a
little there. After some days, I got started and kept
going until I was actually making great progress.
Some day later, Falo, brought up a old problem I
have not entirely figured out or know how to fix.
We get water run off from the neighbor to our west.
Over 34 years, we have lost some ground and about
3 inches of soil erosion. I could not finish the fence,
because I would not be able to make an effort to remedy
the water problem. When I thought I knew what to do,
I started on the solution. But, it looked good one day,
then I would discover some defect in the logic or plan.
I purchased more lunber and some ready mix concrete.
Basically, installing a 2x6x8 base board to hold off,
or redirect the water towards the backyard creek.
I needed to complete the erosion fix, before I could
finish putting up the pickets.  Then, I was troubled by
the source of the problem which was/is the water starts
from the side and front of neighbor's house.  I need to
curb the roof water which wash down and under the
landscaping timbers I had installed 34 years ago. It
curbed the water, but would eventually the water
removed some of the soil from under the timbers, and
then the water wash up next to the house foundation
and then back to our backyard.
I installed the baseboards, but the 2x6x8 was not high
enough, so I decided to stack another 2x6x8 on top of
the first one, and decided to fill part of the cavity created
with ready mix cement.
But first, I would have to replace the timbers with
 2x6x8 baseboards as well. That took half a day,
since I had  to remove the six of the 8  lattices, dig up the accumulated soil
on the landscape timbers. this is taking a lot of tie to explain. I have not
finished, I wore out mixing cement mix, so I will finish next week.


Topic two:  My Sleep aid, Lunesta. 
On occasion, it troubles me that I need to take it, in order to get a decent
night's sleep.
Two nights ago, I decided to rough it for the 3rd time. I did not take the pill
on Wednesday night nor last night.  Tonight, will make night number 3.
I would like to stay off for 30 days and see at that time if its gonna be no lunesta, or 'To heck with it, I will keep on taking it, although I sometimes
wonder what this Hipnotic is doing to me when I am awake.  Maybe it will
hurt my memory, if not already.


First night we went to bed at midnight. I stayed awake until 1:30, when I
got up and went to the bathroom, just to change the routine of laying in bed
trying to go to sleep and check on the time.
 I went back to bed and went to sleep, but woke up at
3:30. Again, went to bathroom and check the time. Went to sleep, and woke up around 6:30. So I actually got about 5 hours of sleep more or less.


Second night: We stayed up watching old movies and went to bed at
1:20 for 1:30. I stayed awake until I got up to check the time. It was 3:30.
Went back to bed and woke up at about the same time, 6:30. So I got about
3 hours of sleep. I did ok the rest of the day. It was not as if I had really stayed up late and woke up early, feeling sleepy and tired or anything like that.


I'll see what happens tonight.
