I hope there is a special place in HELL for people who enjoy being morning people.
That being said I am sure that those same morning people hope there is a special place in Hell for those of us who are night owls and enjoy staying up all night and then complaining about morning people.
It's Full Moon time again. I have been admiring the full moon for the last couple of nights. I love looking at the moon, in any stage of it's cycle. And at the stars. What few i can see here in Kentucky. I miss all the stars I used to watch when I lived in New Mexico. We had a lot of light pollution there from being close to Albuquerque, but we could see a lot more stars there than here. And I loved watching the moon first peek over the Sandia Mountains east of where I lived (the Sandia Mountains rose to over 10,000 feet in elevation and I lived at about 6300 foot elevation.) and then climb higher and higher into the sky until it was over head and then disappearing off toward the west. Here in Kentucky it seems as if the moon just suddenly appears through the trees and then is gone through another stand of trees.
But I have noticed that during a full moon I don't sleep as well as I do the rest of the month. Has anyone else ever noticed this? Not that I sleep well any time and never have in all my life. But the full moon time seems worse. I have even kept a record of sleepless nights for different lengths of time to find out if I really don't sleep as well during a full moon or if it was my weird thoughts. I don't according to my record keeping.
We all know how the moon affects the tides of the oceans. So why can't it affect other things as well.
I have heard that there are more babies born during a full moon. I know that when I worked the late shift at catalog call centers that during the full moon the crazy people making calls were worse. I'm not talking about people just making an order, although, they could be weirder then, too. I'm talking about the kind of calls you don't want to get - the heavy breathers, and they nasty talkers.
I know that that my dogs would want to go out more during a full moon, and in New Mexico I would hear the coyotes howling more during a full moon. And the cats. My cats always try to get into more trouble during a full moon and last night my little 8 year old Siamese decided to have a screaming match with a stray cat sitting out on our front porch. The stary is one I have seen around here for several years now and it tried to come in the house when I went to shoo it off. I have never even tried to get it to come in before. And Chantilly, my cat - I had no idea she could even make a noise like she was. I had never heard her do it before and I have had her since she was a tiny kitten. I guess cats know how to scream like that regardless of where they have lived. Either in the house as Chantilly always has or out side as a half wild cat like the one that had come to visit.
Have any readers had simular situations during a full moon?
So I haven't been on here for ages. Or so it seems. I checked the date and the last post was 11/30/2022. Yes it has been a while. I guess I got writers block - or some such. I will try again but don't get your hope up yet. I may or may not be able to continue writing things on this blog. It seemed like I was able to do it better when I lived in New Mexico. Can't say I really care much for Kentucky. Of course the Covid outbreak may have had something to do with that.
But I can't seem to make any friends here. It seems that every one is only concerned with going to church. Not something I was ever into. Plus this town is so small. Only about 3000 people in the county. And I thought that some of the towns in New Mexico were small. Even the shopping is limited. One Walmart. One Kroger, One Dollar Tree. One Dollar General and a few fast food places. And a Walgreens. There is a library. But I can't say much for it either. And of course there is a church on ever street corner. Or so it seems.
Even the wildlife we used to see isn't coming around as much. We still get a fair amount of birds and I put out seed for them as it doesn't seem as there is much for them to eat around here. Especially since so muc of the land was logged in the time we have been here. We saw a deer two days ago. It was the first we had seen in about six months. Of course we have seen a few tracks through our yard but the deer themselves seem to stay more hidden from us.
This being said I will try to overcome my writers block and get with it again.
