That was John's description to Elsa
of how I sound when I shake "Clappy" (my noisemaker) to let them know I need
to get up in the night. It makes me feel good to know that, in spite of being
pulled out of the studio or out of bed to help me get up to use
"Lamb," my s-i-l sees humor instead of bother in the situation.
Last night was rough. If my shoulder had permitted the movement, it
would have been a toss and turn
night. When Elsa came down at the same
time that the sun was beginning to come up, she
noticed my top covers were tossed off. I normally sleep with a cotton flannel
sheet, a wonderful "North Star" blanket, a 2nd blanket and with my dear old
red robe keeping my feet snug. Sounds like a lot, but my room is over the
garage and can get a bit nippy at night.
Last night, however, I experienced something I have not felt for forty or more years - hot flashes! Pardon the imagery, but I felt like throwing off all my covers, tossing off my nightgown and running around naked. It was strange and interesting, but it did not make for a good night's sleep.

As soon as Elsa finishes tapping
this out and heads to work, I will be back to bed for what I hope will be a
long and peaceful sleep.
Love and peace to you all from this
restless and unrested *Ancient Rattlesnake*
