Maybe I will try it soon but it would have to be during the day.
I think I am OCD or something....I don't like changing my routines...lol..but if I try it during the day and like it...than I will play it at night possibly.
I will try it Monday while I'm sitting at my Dads and he is eating his breakfast...

Just a thought...

Since I can't sleep, I decided to take some of your ideas. I played solitaire. Who can possibly turn solitaire into a stressful game....me! I used an ap to play, and it had a timer. So, instead of a relaxing game of solitaire, I managed to put pressure on myself to go faster. Lol.
I think next time I play I'll turn the timer off!

Also knit scarves and beanies for the car guards in our area. They love it !!
