Sheets, Sheep and Sleep

For the first time in resent memory I got eight hours of sleep last night. That's the good news, the bad news ~ no sleep happening here tonight. This is a condition that is all to familiar in my world. Most of the time when it is this bad I become so restless that the sheets are changed at least once. Any little wrinkle or crumb or stray hair drives me up the wall. While most people count sheep when they can't sleep reading seems to work best for me ~ usually Ecclesiastes or Numbers, something really boring. Unfortunately neither of these result in sleep most of the time.

So, what do you do with untold hours of free time, no cable and no one to talk to? Tonight I organized the apps on my iPhone after working on jewelry, matting & framing photos and making 30 new photo note cards. Oh, also redesigned my business cards and made posters to advertise Home Grown Jewelry at the Farmers' Market. But back to the app organization. The first two pages of apps are the ones I use most in category order based on use and how convenient the spot is to my thumbs...don't ask. Then we have a page of games that have been alphabetized ~ they used to just kinda lay there in order of purchase which made no sense what so ever except that the newer games I was learning to play were at the bottom while old favorites were at the top. After the games come the e-books, only two and a half pages thank you very much! (i have about 100 more in my itunes account on lappy but we won't go there ok?)

Organizing the books alphabetically took the most time and thought. Should you go by author? What about title? Do you count "the" as a word? After some mental discussion that degraded into debate it was decided between me, myself and I (a committee of one) that "the" is NOT a word as far as alphabetizing no matter what the newer thoughts on the matter are and that separating by author and then title was silly as some apps have complete works of more that one author. In the end it was rather easier than I had made it out to be, which is rather common in my world, but there are still bugs to be worked out. Some of the icons have book covers on them where as some only have the first initial of the author's last name which is disconcerting when you look at the apps and see a "D" floating around in the "T"s (Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities) where upon it must be mentioned that "A" is not a word in my alphabetical world either.

All of this completed it must be said again... I AM NOT OCD!!!

Right. so before the urge to change the sheets hits again or all my sheep go on strike it might be best to try and get some sleep... HA

Good night dear friends, sweet dreams and may the Lord our God bless you each!
