WOW! JUST WOW! One forgets how beautiful snow can be and how bright it is with a fun moon glowing upon it!

(For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter and confounds him there;
Sap cheque’d with frost and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o’ersnow’d and bareness every where
Shakespeare who seems to not like winter)

Mr P checking things out, his hair do gives him a windswept look

Willis-Ekbom (or Restless Leg Syndrome) is a neurological disorder where your legs (and sometimes arms) have a desire to spasm or jerk when at rest (in my case sitting and sleeping), can also affect arms (in my case also my arms).

So here I am I again checking my barn cams - Mr P is crowing up a storm… everyone is awake, but I am not getting up it’s too cold and dark for the chickens and horses.

I took a video of Mr P waking everyone will pot it later.

Looking forward to that

That must be awful. I wish there was a cure for it, so many people get this.

I wake up with pain but I think it's more to do with being woken up by my neighbours movements at all hours. I can't be sure if it is now because I'm not hearing him as much as I did but it has gone on for so long that it has kind of broken my sleep pattern.

I used to love knowing I was going too sleep

Mr.P is such a character

I wanna whine…

My RLS has been really aggravating the past couple weeks (likley in part due to the stress of my departure from work!), and nothing is stopping my leg spasms… even watching my chooks and ponies on the barn cams gives me no relief or enjoyment, just irritation that everyone is sleeping and I am not! And I am freezing because I have to get up and can’t snuggle under the warm feather duvet - so I want to whine about that also!

So right now I am rather like Blanche, grumpy. If I could bite someone’s finger I would

And I look at the barn cam and even Blanche is sleeping ! Oh don’t get me wrong I am beyond tired, but as soon as I rest (even sitting here) my RLS kicks in - literally! And the leg muscles start up and it’s very painful…

Time to go to the Dr and whine and complain, but short of giving me stronger meds not much to be done… anyone who thinks Restless Leg Syndrome (Willis-Ekbom) is just an irritating thing should know it’s very debilitating. The meds I take can be addictive and become less effective over time (which is what is happening now I feel).

If anyone feels they have RLS here is a good site to read about it, and if you have it let me know how you deal with it;

Nice to see everyone sleeping

We were. This has become a very talkative bunch.

An extremely cold morning and free hugs with Grandma and Parmesan. This morning is supposed to be 32 F! And today is supposed to be in the low 50s. Hug your animals because they give warm hugs.
