mellowing out...

after two tough nights during which my brain would not allow my body to fall asleep. But yesterday at around 10:30---I fell into sleep almost automatically, and woke up so happy from that, that it colored the rest of the night and has moved into this morning. This may have had something to do
with a Zoom meeting with the Assembly Theater group, whom I have been following closely for the past nine (is it really that long) years.  Good to see the faces of people who are part of my universe, and glad to see them so welcoming to me. After the meeting was over, I watched a 10 minute series (six episodes) called The Rehearsal--about a 30 something actress, starring in a production of Miss Julie, and the  problems she faces. A little melodramatic for me--also all the characters surrounding this woman are either mean or vain.  So she is trapped with them, but why did the creators choose to put these people in the script? No matter, it was interesting enough to keep me involved until I chose to go to sleep, which is what it was supposed to do. After that, sleeping was easy.
    So where do we go from here? Keep your eye on the prize, cityboy, the prize being continued downward trend of in patients in the hospital, so that the city can re-open at least some bookstores or other businesses like it.  Today, my "big task" is finding a dollar store, north of 96th street, where I can by toilet paper dish towels, some toothpaste etc. Other than that, I am left to my own devices. And what are they..? Well, I guess computer serfing, reading (possibly) and "others" How will it all turn out--will my nights continue to "mellow"? We will find out, will report soon.
