Mel, do you take cinnamon (in capsule form) when something you eat makes you sleepy? That works pretty well for me. That's the main thing cinnamon is good for, taking the edge off a blood sugar spike caused by carbs.

I don't think that I have ever seen cinnamon in capsule form.

I order it from Swanson vitamins & supplements online. I can provide a link this evening.

Our schools were closed again today for the third day in a row due to their computer network still being down. Supposedly, they will be open tomorrow but on a two hour delay. As of this evening, the computers are still down, but they are confident that they will be working by mid morning tomorrow.

We got a lot done today, both at home & at work. We have an owner coming in tomorrow. I hope to get to meet her - she's a retired detective, living in San Antonio. Well, I opened a bag of ginger snaps this evening - we haven't had a bag of "snappies" around here in a long time. Back when we had FaithyJ, Franny, Ge'dogg, Houston, & Leela, they luv, luv, luvved ginger snaps, and that's how I got them settled down to go to bed at night. I gave Franny a small bite and her whole face lit up - she remembered those cookies! So did Leela when she came in to see what was going on. It was fun to see their reactions. Milo decided he likes those cookies too, but he may have never had one before. I'm heading out back to look at the moon now & then we're all going to bed. Mel, you have a pm. Hope you all have a restful night.

Good morning! It is 56 degrees here this morning with today's forecast high only in the 70s. I went outside last night to try to see the Super moon, but it was too cloudy to see it. Not so much as a single star visible. Lots of strange dreams again last night. I had a dream that I was in the checkout line at the grocery store and the cashier was having a terrible time figuring out how much money to collect and how much change to give. I also dreamed that I was with my dad at a church service which for some reason was being held outdoors in the parking lot of the local post office, and a huge gang fight type brawl broke out between the liberal and conservative members of the congregation over the style of music being played. I also dreamed about being lost in a haunted house and couldn't find the way out. I can hardly believe that it is the last day of August already. Where did the Summer go? Hope you all have a great day!

As often happens around this time of year, my Facebook page has been getting massively slammed for the last few days with well meaning but misguided individuals trying to predict the date of the Rapture and/or the end of the World in connection with the Jewish Fall feast days which all happen in September and early October this year. As much as I would like for it to happen that soon, it is frustrating to see mostly the same friends do this year after year. Every time, they are so certain and then so let down when their chosen date comes and goes. Why can't they grasp the concept that "no man knows the Day or hour".

Good morning! It's 74 at present, heading to the high 90s this afternoon. Those were some pretty wild dreams, Mel. I think being lost in the haunted house would have bothered me ... I'm not into watching scary movies or going to haunted house attractions. Did you know any of the people fighting during the church service? That super moon really lit up our backyard last night. I took a picture in the dark and had a message to "hold your camera still" while it counted down from 3 to 1 and the picture came out pretty well exposed. Leela had turned to step off the concrete walkway into the grass & the photo is a little blurry, but not much. Well, we got through this year's blue moon so hopefully tenants will settle down & stop breaking windows, among other stunts they're pulling. That late evening plumbing call where the tenant had flushed a washcloth and was making her toilet overflow by flushing it as fast as it recovered - that generated almost a $700 bill. A property management friend of ours has been holding her breath, waiting for the first of September to roll around. I may call her up tomorrow and congratulate for making it! I've got to stop at the tag agency before I go to the office & tag the Tahoe for another year so I'll see y'all later! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Did you know any of the people fighting during the church service? Sort of. The faces were familiar, but I couldn't put a name to most of them.

Maybe it is just a coincidence, but just about every web site that I have visited today is showing adds for cinnamon supliments in one form or another.

I think our electronic devices 'spy' on us, whether we have Alexa or Siri or any of those listening devices. The world around us is sooo bugged.

Hope you have a great weekend with DD#4& her family, Jeanette, including the little granddoggie. I picked up part of a tenant's rent at the ff restaurant where she works. I'm about to open up that envelope & count it. It's supposed to be $400 &, from the looks of the stuffed envelope, it may be in $1 bills. I'm really happy the lady is getting paid up. I also picked dinner for us from the same ff restaurant. Our order wasn't right, & it wasn't satisfying. We may basically take a break from fast food for awhile. Edward baked a loaf of banana bread this afternoon. I'm definitely having a cup of coffee & slice of that before long.

Both feet are cramping up as if I'd worn heels today.
