  I bought these cool things that replace twist ties on bread bags.  I lose the ties on a regular basis. Ironically,  they were tethered to the card with these:

  I don't sleep much.  I have a busy mind & toss & turn every night before going to sleep. Then I can sleep for a couple of hours & wake up again.  Usually at about 4am. Then hopefully asleep again by 6    Luckily I don't have to go to work anymore so it's rare that I have to be up at a specific time.  Even then, I rarely sleep past 9.  Then I go all day unrested & start over again.  So I've tried things to help. 1. Melatonin--gives me nightmares 2. OTC pill from Costco.  Bottle says take 2.  1 knocks me on my butt.  Out like a light for 12 solid hours. Won't hear phone if it rings.

Many years ago my boss Elizabeth & her husband, the adorable LR, lived in an RV at a KOA park here in Lubbock but their real home was in Ruidoso.  We had a Christmas party up there one year.  I remember it being very nice.  I didn't remember much & did not drive so this trip was almost a new experience. I found the hotel on Travelocity for a good rate & I essentially won the hotel lottery. Less than one block away was the main street of shops.  Some were closed because they mostly do weekend business but many were open.  Lots of friendly people for sure.  I made a huge deal about shopping but I really didn't buy much. I didn't think much about it but I was really just a tourist.  I bought a t shirt because I loved the color & I like wearing Ts...
