Ha, Titan is one beautiful pupper! I was hoping that one of our bigger dogs would become the chicken protector and not our Teacup as she can not go outside alone due to hawks. I have yet to introduce the chicks to our shepherd yet. He still has that pup mentality of if it fits in his mouth its food lol.

Yes insomnia is one of the issues that came with my stroke. My circadian rhythm got janked in a major way due to a few issues. One is due to the area of the brain that controls my sleep, another is due to my partial blindness from the stroke called "homonymous hemianopia" and also I was diagnosed after the stroke with what they call "Non-24". The last one has to do with now not having any perception of time and short term memory issues. This means I can be up for 48 hours and I think I have only been up for 10 minutes. My wife has to remind me to go to bed and I have to take medication to sedate myself which SUX because I hate taking medication! To me a month goes by and it only feels like a day. I use to think life felt like it went by to fast. Now it goes by at the speed of light. It does come in handy when waiting in line at the DMV now for the handicap tag renewal and such lol.

Ewok,

You've got a remarkable outlook, find humer in tough situations, and clearly resilient enough that I'm sure you'll battle back to whatever your new normal will be.
Wow on the sleep stuff. I had to have my thyroid removed and until we found the right cocktail of synthetic hormones, I swung between sleeping 20 hrs a day, or being wide awake for 3 days straight. I completely lost track of what time it was, what day of the week. I used to call it time travel. Fortunately, that improved for me. Whether or not it can improve for you, based on your outlook - you'll find a way to inspire others with your optimism.

Thanks on the pooch. He lost his big brother a few weeks ago, and now wants to spend all day with the chickens. Hope your Shepard can get there. They're smart dogs, so hopefully you'll get him trained up to be chick safe.

looking forward to following your journey!

I have found that humor is the only way I can cope with such. Besides, It is always fun to laugh even at my own expense. I would prefer people laugh at my goofball mess ups than to feel sorry for me. My wife came in the office and informed me I had stuck the peanut butter in the fridge. I told her "well if you find that surprising wait until you open the freezer and find the toilet paper" and yes I have done that before so needless to say she does not allow me to help put away groceries. :bun
