The All Night Diners

[CapricornFarm]

I so hope that I'm back on track for sleeping. Y'all can have the insomnia. I'm done with it!
I am tempted to not take NyQuil/ZzzQuil ever again, but it's not a choice thing. I have to decide between sleeping but having nightmares, or not sleeping. And all the health risks that go with it.

Does it make any difference if you do lots of physical work or exercise?

Up to 15,000 steps is fine. 20,000-25,000 keeps me awake after four consecutive days.

Have you talked to dr? Is it change of life? Are you worried about things?
Have you ever ttied meditation?Sometimes it helps me clear my mind and I can fall asleep. I have an app on my phone I use with earbuds. I've found the simple om chant to be the most effective but there are options. Per my latest dr visit it's helping my blood pressure too so I'm taking 15 minutes every night before I go to bed now to meditate, then 15 in the mornings on the patio too.

Meditation sounds good. I love to sit on our back deck and enjoy all the trees and birds. So peaceful, until the guineas start squalking!

Betting my 14 guineas make more racket than one rooster!

I know the three guineas that wander into my yard are louder than my roosters.
Coffee with the birds is nice. I used to enjoy it.
For me, I am not sleeping because of stress. It might work out within the next week. At least the current issue might. Or I'll just learn to live with it.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

So sorry, stress is awful. I have had more than my share of that!

Tomorrow i am going to go look for a building site for the guinea coop. If it will stop all this raining!
Has anyone else noticed how everything is getting smaller? I have not had fig cookies in a while and i bought a package today. For one thing, the family size was more expensive per ounce. Ridiculous! And for another thing , i could eat these things in one bite. I am pretty sure my mouth has not grown in the last 20 years. And potato chips, used to be the bag or can was pretty full. Now you get over half full of air! The down sizing is bad enough, but then the price goes up as well! Is it just me?
