Nights Are for Resting?

The night before last Mary started chattering and yakking away when she went to bed and didn't stop till about 8 AM when I put the headphones on her. Last night she started moaning about half-way through the night. Needless to say, I haven't gotten much sleep lately! She slept almost the whole day yesterday and I was so happy! Then she promptly fell asleep last night at about 10 PM! So we just left her in her lazy boy all night. Mary has now sat in her chair for a day and a half now and hasn't used the potty too much--and I'm so relieved. I know that's bad of me--and bad for her, too. But every time I have to get her up, it kills my back, which has never really stopped hurting.

I guess we won't have Thanksgiving this year. That's really going to throw me for a loop!

Her cough doesn't sound much better. I guess it'll just take time.

I made some cookies this evening called Texas Tea Cakes. I've been wanting to make them because they sounded interesting--with buttermilk. I used kefir instead. It's a bit tarter. They're odd--like a combination of sugar cookies and buttermilk biscuits! Mary likes them, but she always loves cookies. It's such a pleasure to give them to her and have her exclaim over them. She was just about to give the dog one! I squawked and she stopped. The dog looked guilty--like he knew he shouldn't have asked for one.
