Spraying to all fields

I keep wondering if "it" was the knee surgery this summer, or the resulting infection, or maybe my first flu shot ever? Or maybe there is no "it?"


I have taken Concerta for years for ADD with no ill effects. Take it now and it is a ticket to the all-night awake-a-thon!

Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight

I'm not telling you folks anything you don't know, but for me, a huge adjustment for me has been the isolating aspect of it. Staying home while the family goes off to see a musical, out to see a movie when I'm just too tired to go. Hard to keep the spirits up!

I like dreamin'

NOT because dreamin' can make you mine (now THERE is an obscure song reference!) but because dreams = REM sleep. Dreams have been few and far between lately.


I'm making some changes. Trying to ease into sleep with some tea and some meditation. I do so enjoy a nice wine with dinner some days, but for the time being--I find I sleep better without alcohol.


Had a great Thanksgiving day, but Friday was an exhausted, painful train wreck.

Details, details

1) Had a rheumatogist recommended to me. Actually, she is the spouse of Peg's OB/Gyn. Called for an appointment, and I'm all set for the practice's first opening--IN JANUARY!!!


2) The little things. We are such creatures of habit. I have slept on my side since time immemorial, and on the left side of the bed since the 1982 nuptials. Problem--my right shoulder and hip are incredibly painful. It is VERY difficult to adapt those sleeping habits, some 30 years old, some a lifetime.

A new world's record!!!

I went to bed at 5:40 PM last night.

Thanks!

Despite hanging out with my new friend, I do have SO very much to be thankful for!

Good day sunshine!

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out 
I've got something I can laugh about 
I feel good, in a special way 
I'm in love and it's a sunny day.......



Had a great day yesterday. Very productive at work, felt pretty good, stayed up (if you're familiar with my story lately, this is HUGE news!) until 10 O'CLOCK!!


This condition is so frustrating because you can't predict your good days and bad days. I initially started thinking that hey, maybe the vitamins and supplements are working, then naturally, today I feel awful. Live, yes. Learn? Well, we'll see.
