Monday's good news was that after I'd slept until near noon my neck was no longer hurting. And it had only taken me about an hour to get to sleep. There was a period of unpleasantness around eight o'clock in the morning, when someone the landlord hires came to use the loud leaf blower on the yard. I was awake for several minutes while that was going on, but to my surprise I returned to sleep quickly once it was over.
Monday's bad news was that once I got up and began eating, my acid reflux returned. It hasn't improved in the last several hours, and I'm now munching some raw almonds, which sometimes help calm it down. It appears that I've let my raw almonds get stale, though, and their flavor has consequently suffered. I guess I don't use them often enough, but if I'll be getting reflux more often maybe I will in the future, so maybe I should buy a fresh bag.
Rain is more likely than not this morning, but the afternoon could bring some sunshine. It's going to stay chilly though, as sunny January days often do in this region. Still, I probably won't have to wear a jacket when I go out to check the mailbox. The hoodie I wear all day should be sufficient for the brief time I'll be outside. I'll just have to remember to put the hood up. Most of the time I leave it down.
So all that is using up time while the almonds have a chance todo their work, and I think they are working. The acid is not entirely gone, but it is considerably diminished. I think I'll be able to get to sleep now. I might even dare a small square of chocolate, with a couple more almonds in it. Yes, almonds. Excellent excuse. And there could be rain any time now. That could help me get to sleep too.
