Hi,

Some people have a regular sleep schedule.
Apparently, there are health benefits.

Better Sleep Starts by Waking Up at the Same Time Daily

I cannot do it.


Do you feel that you are getting enough sleep most nights?

That's a good question Mari! I mean, even if I wake up tired, lately a cup of coffee fixes that. But there are definitely some days when I feel way too tired, like obviously days where I've gotten like less than 8hrs of sleep or if ive woken up too frequently in the night. When I was depressed, I'd sleep 12 to 13 hours and still feel tired...thats kinda why I started coffee again...

I know i always need at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep. So I try to get to bed by midnight. Because if I don't I don't get the sleep I need.

I feel like I have so much to update on, but I keep forgetting to do it here and get sucked into other random threads. Not like that's a bad thing, but I feel I should have more organization.

Now that I'm here though, I don't know what to say!

I mean, I'm prompted by things like my picking OCD stuff, and I checked out a FB group and got one suggestion (regular manicures and keeping fingers moisturized), but I'm not sure if that will work or if I...well, I mean it's winter and I'm just so dry. I was also advised that if or when I tell my hubby, to be prepared with literature on the subject. Wish we had a working printer though!

Anyway, something else, Uhhh, the diabetes scare. Well no, I haven't been diagnosed and it doesn't run in my family (although my mom's oldest sis did just get it. Eek! But that's our first case). As I said in another thread, hubby worries because it runs in his family and he knows what a pain it is and he sees my sedentary lifestyle and the fat, particularly around my midsection (not that he's not attracted to me still, but he worries). So, I'm meant to soon get tested for these things, but I've already got an appointment for other testing and it's in the afternoon and so it'd be hard to fast, plus I'm afraid of them taking too much blood at once. Anyway, so now I've gotta make another appointment. Stress!

Um, what else is going on? I'm trying to be better with my internet time. I seem better and yet I'm still on as much time as before probably. I mean, it's strange. Seems I'm checking threads less and if I sleep in late, well I don't have as much time in the morning...and I've pretty much stopped reading my FB timeline and just focusing on a few specific posts...but I suppose some threads I do visit, or posts on Twitter, lead me down that proverbial rabbits hole and I spend more time with that. Like for instance, I follow a 90s nostalgia thread and one post got me thinking about a tv show from back then and then I realized one of my present celebrity obsessions was in that and so I had to go watch that, or at least part of it, and then I had to go share the news among our fangroup... Sigh!

Well, this is enough for now, I think. I also need to get back to peeling garlic and ginger for our homemade ginger/garlic paste for tonight's dinner so...im off for now!

Ok, so I'm kinda disturbed at the moment by this particular season of a show I started watching...guess it illuminates some fears for me. I ugh, expressed my fear to someone online and they said the show isn't that bad. But see, this is from the male perspective and now I'm a little scared that I shared my fear. I dunno. Hopefully I'll get over it. I've been Googling all night trying to find ways to overcome fear. I feel a little bit better now...

Oh! but what brought me to this forum was to admit that while watching the show, I was engaging in my picking "ocd" thing again (for those who haven't read it yet, I haven't officially been seen nor diagnosed about this yet since it's really only been concerning since this year/couple of months). Anyway, so I suppose fear, which is kinda anxiety, right (?) is a trigger for my obsessive compulsive tendencies.

On a happier note, got to see my precious kitties again and shy Blackie was hovering around me even more again tonight. I realize that I might only be loved because I give out treats, lol, but this was even before that and after as well! <3 <3 <3 Too bad I can't live with him and possibly help him completely overcome his shyness...I suppose he's better with my folks too, but I know he still even gets jumpy with them. He won't even play with his toy on a string because it scares him! um...well, that wasn't a very happy ending....

How about this- does anyone else know someone who's smile just lights up their day?? They can be people you know or people you don't (like celebrities). I have a few and I just think of those happy smiles and it warms my heart! Happy smiles (and hugs) to all who need them/want them!!

maybe you shouldn't watch the show. dealing with fear is so hard! so much stress. I am glad you saw the kitties. How old are they?

Yea I might not even get the time to finish although I got the gist of the plot anyway and was trying to prepare myself with some of the worst scenes, but not all are online. (You know, exposure therapy??...but yea, maybe I don't NEED to see all that so much. I think it's healthy to be disturbed somewhat, right? I mean, it makes us human!)

Anyway, the good stuff-kitties!!!!! Actually, I'm not really sure, t bh. They got Graybee when he was 2, I think, and that was maybe 5plus years ago?? Blackie they got a few years after at 2...but it seems like they've had him for almost 5 years already now, so... they're somewhere between 7-9, I'd guess. They still act so young though, I think.

they sound so sweet. I think that enough bad things happen that you should just try to find pleasant things like the kitties or reading books with happy endings. I must admit I watch too much news that is disturbing.
