And I have been awake for one hour, and two minutes. Waking up at 3:58 is NOT something I like to do, but when you have anxiety disorder, it happens.

I laid in bed for an hour not wanting to wake DW but when DD (dear dog) came in wanting breakfast and to go out, he woke her, I told her to go back to bed and I would do t this morning (he does this every morning at about 5) She said "what are you doing up"? I said, I didn't know. I really don't .... just thinking about 100 different things, worrying, stressing, that's life...

The pain is bad this morning too. Both surgical sites, back about an 8/10, hernia surgery scar about a 5/10. I don't want to take pain meds but I'm gonna, why? because all I want to do is sleep and they will help that.

Anyway, this thread is just here because I needed a place to put thoughts down...and say hi to all you east coasters and early risers.

For someone who likes to sleep in until about 9, this stinks.
