Right now it’s about 4:30 p.m. I have a headache and have decided to be dramatic and Victorian and “take to my bed”.
It’s not a usual occurrence, for me to “take to my bed”... this early that is. Most times I at least wait until the sun goes down. Today, though, in the early, early evening, my bed is comfortable and comforting. My red, green and yellow afghan, the one and only one I ever made specifically just for me, is soft and cozy.I think I need a rest from the pinwheels that are perpetually spinning in my head. So, before I give in and take an Imitrex and before Rico discovers he isn’t under foot (that would be my foot) and before Ross comes to check up on me and before I nod off and my head starts to bob on the keyboard, which may lead to some form of nonsensical poetry written in a foreign outer blogosphere language, here are yesterday and today’s entries from Anna’s diary:
I have created a page for Anna's Diary. It can be found under the Tab titled Anna's Diary.
I have posted all of the entries to date there, starting with January 1, 1929.

Tuxedo Park
Characterized by 1920's
colonials in an all-American neighborhood setting, Tuxedo Park offers a
convenient location to town and trains. The homes in Tuxedo Park tend to be on
a smaller scale but still offer architectural details of the early 20th
century. Located south of South Orange Avenue, close to downtown, NYC trains,
parks and Seton Hall University, location is a draw for many Tuxedo Park residents.
From the website Midtown direct homes, here are some examples of houses in the neighborhood, Tuxedo Park, that Anna may have visited that day:
Sleep tight! Sometimes taking to one's bed is exactly what needs to happen. If it were gray and gloomy and rainy here today, I suspect I would crawl under the covers and read. We are enjoying unusually balmy weather for June - sunny, warm days and cool, clear nights. Even so, taking to my bed in the sunny bedroom sounds good too - to read and nap!

It has been raining and cool here for quite sometime and it is not normal in NYC to be so cool and dismal in June.. It doesn't help the mood. Hope you are feeling better!!
