Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
2010, I spent 6-8 months stripping paint. And then couldn't face sanding for 4 years. And soon, very soon, I will be done with this project.
That is awesome.
ISTG, if this rain we've had all afternoon/evening doesn't melt the last of the snow, I'm going out there with my hair dryer.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Teppy, you use magnesium right? And it helps you? I'm down to Mg as my only supplement. I can't tell if it makes a difference, but I figure it's healthy anyway, right?
I do, but I also take valerian root and melatonin. And benadryl (for legit allergies; I just happen to also take it at bedtime). I think the magnesium helps, but since it's just one thing in my armory of get-me-to-sleep stuff, I wouldn't say it's the magic bullet.
It is apparently healthy in other ways, though.
t edit My doctor refilled my flexiril Rx after a long time not needing it, because I did something to tweak my back last week, and I can't get it to un-tweak with ibuprofen, heat, and/or tennis balls. I forgot how the flexiril knocks me on my ass. I was out cold last night before 11 p.m.

Had a three hour talk with my mother. Was good. I just wish we could talk like this in person. I don't know if it's because she's more readily distracted by tv shows and counting her numerous medications in person or me being terrified of her bringing up how much she gates my job (for being so low paying).

No one told me ita was posting again! I guess that is what I get for not popping into Natter more often. It is good to see you posting. I have no good insomnia advice, but I hope you find something that works for you soon.

One method of meditation/visualization I used to use when trying to fall asleep was to imagine writing numbers in sand, counting backward from 100, with tide washing away each consecutive number. Often I wouldn't get past 90 before I was out. But if I made it to 50 without losing focus, I knew that sleep wasn't coming right then.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
ita, so good to see you posting. You've been missed.
I'm sorry the pain stuff still isn't resolved, though.
Marathons and vacations and bras and stuff! I've missed a lot. Took me a while to catch up. And now, gone again for a while.
