The last couple of days.

I continue to have sleeping problems. I have the strangest dreams all night. Some of them are horrible. I wake up feverishly hot, every few hours. And one leg - the right one, from hip to ankle - aches at night. Only one leg. Only at night.
I had some sugar free pudding last night. There is some ingredient in it that doesn't agree with my condition. I've noticed it before. When it comes to diet, I try to look for trends. I try to work my way around them.
Having said all that, I have felt better in the last few weeks than I have in some time. I know it won't last, so I'm trying to get some things done. I cleaned out my shop, recently, and the last couple of days have been spent clearing out my attic.
My attic is a raw, unfinished, creepy place - with lots of suspect wiring. Some of the stuff that was up there has been there for 40 or more years. No valuable antiques, mind you, just trash. When I piled it up outside and surveyed it, I felt like one of those hoarder people from TV. 95% of it was garbage. I did find a couple of interesting things: my wedding certificate, some report cards, my GED diploma, some old German coins. And a lot of childhood artwork. I was a prolific "artist" in those days. The things I saved fit into 3 small boxes.
God, it makes me feel good to get rid of clutter! I'm a collector by nature (I have a theory about growing up dirt poor and having nothing), but I'm not going to live in filth.
