Up at 5
I hope anxiety is now behind Imvalentine - all went well?

I discover my new diabetic diet : lots of green vegetables for someone who never ate any!
To make this diet all more appetizing : no more salt on anything anymore (to avoid high blood pressure)
Passing from my weekly KFC bucket with fries and onion rings to boiled brocolis is not a step, it's a whole staircase lol

Have a good day ☼

Up around 5:30 AM

That is a huge staircase ck. Sounds like you’re climbing it quickly. I haven’t had KFC in ages but crave sweets horribly. ENT appointment went very well. I will start tackling my thyroid issue tomorrow with primary care doc.
Hoping meds will help with weight gain and fatigue... We are lucky to be alive to tackle!

A good day to everyone p.

That will be a huge shift CK, but you have successfully made huge shifts before. I know you will do well with it once you get adjusted to the new regiment.

I hope the thyroid issues can be tackled by your doctor Imvalentine. Seems like a lot of people have them.

Have a good day all!

Woke up to an inch of snow with more expected the next few days. Typical spring weather here.

ck those nightmares are unsettling and hang on for a few hours. You will sleep much better tonight.

I’m strangely looking forward to my dr appointment. I want to feel better!

A good Wednesday to everyone.

CK, those dreams are very rattling to us at times, and like Imvalentine said, sometimes they hang on as "real" for awhile.

Have a good day all!

Woke up at 4:00 and got up for the day at 4:30 AM.

Picking up groceries after daycare drop off. 4-8 inches of snow forecast. I’ll settle for 4. Hoping for the placebo effect before actual results on new medication. It will improve in time.

Sleep better ck? I’m joining you on the healthy eating bus today.

A good Thursday to everyone.

Last couple days, I have been waking up three or four times a night, but eventually falling back to sleep. I seem to be having vivid dreams and remembering them every time I awaken. Not exactly sure why.

Back to work today. Blah.

Have a good day all!

Awake about 4:30 AM with alarm. I’m trying to get back in a routine sleep schedule with no napping. The placebo effect went well yesterday and I did get a few chores done. Nice feeling to have energy even if it’s all in my mind.

Dreams are strange things. Mine have not been vivid but it seems like I catch a glimpse or feeling during the day recently. Very strange like deja vu and it’s disconcerting. Who knows what lurks in there.

A happy day to everyone.

I feel dreams are a possible link to a subconscious level of our minds that we are seldom aware of. I think at times they may have more meaning than we realize.

Have a good day all!

Up at 5 and sleep was...meh - let’s say ok.
I often wake up around 1 am and I juggle with my old sins.
I committed quite a few during my active time.
Sleep finally comes back after a while but it’s vey unpleasant...

Have great weekend Earlies!

Struggling hard to sleep currently too. Just waking up after a few hours and not getting back to sleep.

Have a good day all!

Up a bit before 6:00 AM. I’m in a good sleep phase right now-knock wood. Whenever I gloat on that it backfires on me.

Second vaccine poke this afternoon. XDIL’s mom and stepfather supposed to stop by today for a mail pickup. DIL has progressed to a 10 minute call being allowed on the house phone so is in touch with the little one. The collateral damage of alcoholism marches on. My parenting history has horror scenes so I’m praying for a positive outcome.

A good Saturday to everyone.

Up after 6:00 AM. A charley horse galloped in around 1:00 so I was awake awhile but still slept well enough.

I am relieved to have a shield against Covid19 but will continue with mask wearing...better safe than sick. I’ve read they help with allergies also.

A nice weather day in lower 50’s and a nice day all around.

Take care and have a happy Sunday everyone.

Had an employee drunk at work this morning at 6:00am. Had to deal with that mess. Always a reminder to stay the course.

Take care all!

5:10 AM for me.

Sleep still on track even with an accidental nap yesterday.

A hanging out at the house day planned. More dreaded snow starting this afternoon. Perfect day to drag the out the crockpot for soup making.

Congratulations star!

Have a good Monday everyone.

Thanks guys!

Ugh, snow must be a four letter word for you at this point Imvalentine.

I got up at 2:30 this morning but didn't have time to log on.

Have a good evening all!
