I have noticed that I have been getting 6.5 to 8 hours of sleep but my sleep cycle has gone from 8:30 pm to 12 pm bed-time!!! it is why I need a better tracking agenda.
So I told my chouette I would stay home and rest. The cat (tigre-botte) and I slept from 10 am to 2:30pm on the sofa! It feels good my body is rested. My mind is clearer.
I am a disgusting mess, but a well rested unwashed disgusting mess.
After the circus, the birthday party and the moving of the brother in-law, I came home and watched tv till 1am. Too tired to sleep, I guess. I am not the strongest at moving furniture up and down stairs ... but chouette and I have moved so much stuff together that - we know when we are ready to lift, release, and fall with only a sound or a breath - and when tired (like last night at 10pm chouette works poorly with others. So we carried the 27" TV down to the basement! and my legs still feel it today!!!.
I like too being alone in my home. Just to go for a shower listening to music and reading something. Even cleaning.... I feel free and not being judged by anybody.
Oh peacefully alone sounds nice! Sounds like you had a fun weekend! And I get what you mean about how we change and we get comfortable with things we weren't comfortable with before! I used to hate being alone at home too! But I enjoy having time to myself now too!
I was supposed to do a few hours of work this weekend and I am getting as much rest as I can instead!
I sent my chouette to do the groceries alone and beaded with the kids saturday. My little cocotte went to her cousin's for her 5th birthday sleep-over, so we are all meating at the circus later today.
This morning it is coffee laundry and computer. My son with with chouette to move stuff from the brother-in-law's this am. So I am peacefully alone! To think a few years ago I would have been afraid to be alone and would have run out to 'do something' now I am fine with it.
Time changes the us all in little ways and we change oueselves in the ways that matter.
make tea out of the leaves - just rinse them off - use fresh or tie together and hang upside down till they dry out - then put in pot w/strainer of some kind, boiling water, let soak 5 minutes - i add a little sweet/low - very very relaxing and the steam is good for your skin! yes i put herbs in tub, too. have you tried rosemary!? best way is to boil fresh in big pot and add pot to tub. i think aromatherapy is very helpful! candles, herbs, flowers, also spray on wrists my 360* perfume-it relaxes me.whatever works! right?
I took the meds as I was leaving the house yesterday morning. I usually take them in the evening (so the effexor's worst sleepiness is at night!!!). I have a pill box in my supper time place. I have an alarm that will not leave me alone till I take them and the kids know that it I close the alarm I better be drinking water or they get to scold me!!! and they love it!!!
But wednesday nite between the danse class and the rock climbing class resigtrations and the pizza ... and the stuff for cold luches and the stop at the reptile store (oh the reptile store !!! my son did not realze that small reptiles need small meals and BIG reptiles need BIG meals!!!). So I shut the alarm, stuffed pizza down my throat in front of the TV and fell unconscious in bed .,.. without my pills.
Anyways, I was better in the afternoon and back up and running in the evening. A good thing because there was a crazy crowd lined up in the middle of the parking lot waiting 45 minutes for swim lessons! and no one - even those with strollers and littles would move for the cars coming to park! Chouette and I could not believe it! we laughted most of the evening!
The gang at the office was worried about me in the am at work. It shows right away when something is wrong with me. I would never make a living gambling! So I did my thing and slowly came back from the tombs. I felt right on time from work. no extras ... maybe this weekend... I'll see. I willnot push it but I need the cash, I did some things while I was cycling and my finances are a bit shaky and with the round of kiddie activities I am broke.
You know ROSIE, you have given me an idea! I have mint that has flowered on the side of the house and is inetable (too strong) but would make an excellent mentrual time soak - relaxing, fragrante, with that tingle to the skin!!!
