Down to 1

Being that it's almost winter, and I keep my bedroom door shut until bedtime to keep the cat out, when I do  go to bed it is often quite cold in there. It takes a while for my blankets to warm me up, so I've taken to playing a sleep inducing game with myself.

I count backwards from 100 in a random free association sort of way. I never get lower than 50 though, because my mind wanders and/or I fall asleep. So I thought I might make such a list for a blog post just so I can have the satisfaction of finally getting to 1. The illustrated list is here: Random Word List Three.
