For some reason I am on an every other night broken sleep pattern and I am not enjoying it on the days I have not had enough sleep!
I think it has bee like 12 days of sleep enough, not sleep enough, sleep enough, not sleep enough.
Today is a not sleep enough day which I then promptly forgot and am wandering around all fuzzy and nauseated but could not figure out why. Hopefully that does at least mean I will sleep enough tonight because I need my brain tomorrow.
Today I will try to eat a lot too. I have not had enough food the last week and I think that might be contributing. Sounds silly when I see it in print.
I have been trying to have lunch with my SIL (which I also now realize can be son-in-law or sister-in-law but since I do not have a Sister-in-Law) for a month. He is very busy and I am very far away so we have to schedule vs doing it on the fly like my daughter and I do. I appreciate that he wants to have lunch with me and chat I also appreciate that he picked what sounds like a good place, now we just have to actually do it! Next Monday. Probably. Maybe. I am such a canceller.
😱 I just went to type something and forgot what it was in between thinking of it and pressing a key! I AM TOO TIRED !!
Here….let’s find a monday picture.

I’m sorry you’re not sleeping well. I feel nauseous when I don’t get enough sleep too. I have since I was a kid It kinda takes away your appetite. Take a nap?

June 12, 2023 at 4:56 pmI am 1 more ick away from taking a nap. I hate naps. It always seems like such a waste of time when there are so many other things I could be doing.
I am really lucky with Seans Raph. Both of my kids always have the best people around them.

June 12, 2023 at 3:43 pmUgh, not enough sleep also gives me a headache. Sometimes I go through similar patterns of 5 – 6 hours and night and then 8 – 10 hours a night. It’s usually my own irresponsible fault, though. Even if I have to get up at a certain time in the morning for something, I will let myself get pulled into a good book, movie or video game (or sometimes just stupidly web surfing) far later than I should.
Hope you can get caught up on it. Sleep deficit is no joke. It’s hard to pilot the body through that.
Maybe the cold will help today, too! Brr!

June 12, 2023 at 4:01 pmNot enough sleep I’m hearing is possibly an age thing and I am fighting the concept! I refuse to buy into it But I recognize if it’s really a thing I might as well bang my head on the table multiple times. That’s where I am!

June 12, 2023 at 5:00 pmI 100% think sleep quality diminishes as we get older. I have always gone through bouts of insommnia but now I have the weird sleep for an hour, wake up for an hour thing that seems more common. The biggest help for me is honestly just taking the pressure off. I do not schedule things for early morning anyway because of my weird physical shortcomings, so if I need to sleep an extra couple of house, meh…just do it.

June 12, 2023 at 4:31 pmI am sorry that you are having sleep problems. That affects everything else in your life. It is so maddening. Hugs! I hope you get a really great night of sleep tonight.
I LOVE that your sil wants to have lunch. I understand the cancel thing but don’t! You’ve been given a precious gift having a sil who wants to be involved in your life.
Actually I think not having enough food can affect how your resting. Your body is trying to do all the essential things with not enough fuel. Think how far your car would go without enough fuel.
Love and hugs!

June 12, 2023 at 4:59 pmRaph is a good egg. As I said to him the other day, we have a lifetime for lunches so no pressure!
I just had dinner for breakfast so no matter what I am off to a good start for the food today. I also have some lovely cherries that I picked up at Whole Foods yesterday so I have been opening the fridge every 20 minutes and seeing food while I snack on a cherry!
