#SoCS - 9/8/25 - Towing the line


Seeing as I'm up and about I thought I'd tow the line and do a SoCS post.  Haven't done one for a while.

Anyway it's 7 am now and I've been awake since just after 5.  Not sure what woke me but Hubby's snoring  ensured I wasn't going to get back to sleep in my bed so I decamped to the sofa.

I thought that with my recently acquired eye mask I might be able to get back to sleep.  My brain thought otherwise.  I might have to have a nap today.

I did try to sleep but I could still hear the snoring above me and then my neighbour (or someone passing by in the street) had a prolonged sneezing fit that was probably as loud as the snoring! So of course I started looking at my phone.

I have the NYT games app there to amuse me.  We have (of course - who doesn't?) a family WhatsApp group for Wordle. Kicked myself today - got it in 5 but it should have been 4.  It probably was too early to be doing it.  I also messed up the Tiles game several times - I like to have a clear run on that but I got there eventually.  Doesn't help when you've left your glasses upstairs by the bed!

And now I'm drinking my first cup of tea of the day and I've had a couple of slices of fruit bread and I'm here blogging, wondering at what point my Hubby will stir.  I'm not holding my breath on that one - I'd expire!  He was out with some former colleagues yesterday which will have been a boozy affair that went on until late so I don't expect him to surface any time soon.  Which is a bit annoying as I'm off to take in a delivery for the Food Bank this morning so I'll probably have to make my own breakfast.  

This is not a good start to the day.

Maybe I'll go and give him a nudge with my toe!

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “toe/tow.” Use one, use both, use them any way you’d like. Bonus points for using both. Have fun!

Ooh I think I just earned bonus points lol.  SoCS is brought to us by Linda who blogs here.  If you're awake, like me, pop over and see who's joining in the fun.

See it's too early to be blogging - I wasn't toeing the line at all!

  1. That is the worst when you wake up, it's too early and you can't get back to sleep.
    I love Wordle but then forget about it for a while.
    Have a great day. x

  2. My eye mask helps, but when my hubby's snoring makes it impossible to sleep and I move to the couch I'll wear earplugs. No way he's waking me up twice.🤣

  3. I hate waking really early and not being able to go back to sleep - sometimes I make a cup of tea and get back in and even am able drift off - that is (like you) if hubby isn't snoring!
