Anyone else use these?
ita, I'm liking Headspace: [link]
They have a Take 10 program that's free, 10 minute meditations for 10 days. The guy also has a TED talk: [link]

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
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.

I take 5mg melatonin to fall asleep. It doesn't always keep me asleep, but it's still an improvement.

Who watches Sleepy Hollow? My kids saw the trailer (I was reading an article about accents!) and they are sort of obsessed with it. What's the violence/sex rating?
Casper, of course, thinks Ichabod Crane is hot. Then to prove that just because someone has an American accent on TV does not mean they are American, I showed her clips of Idris Elba, and she thinks he's hot too. At least the child has taste.
