How to get a better sleep?

by

Considering that I’ve been having so much trouble sleeping lately I’ve tried to come up with some ideas that will help me sleep better.

Now, unlike a lot of people that have trouble sleeping I also have a chronic disease that causes me pain – especially in the evenings. It’s Crohn’s disease and it seems once I have a couple of meals in me my pain only increases – hence the more pain at night thing.

I can’t do anything about eating as I’ve got to eat if I want to live, but I can try to manage my pain better.

We have a dog so taking her out for long walks at least once a day if not twice a day should help me get some exercise and that should help tire me out.

I have a lot of websites and I tend to work on them pretty much all the time. I think that from now on I should turn the computer off by midnight if not earlier. That will give my mind some time to settle down.

Now one cool thing that I could get that might help me sleep would be a massage chair. Eh? Wouldn’t that be great? I could sit in it and have a massage shortly before bedtime and maybe, just maybe I’d get a better sleep.

Do you have any other ideas that might help me get some sleep?





Finally got a little bit of sleep

by

I can’t believe I’m still going. I think I’m like the energizer bunny. Honestly … I’ve only had about three hours sleep in the last 24 hours and haven’t averaged much more than that over the last week per day.

I did manage to sleep for two hours early this evening. That was only after I took Midnight out for a long walk. She needed the exercise and I needed to make myself tired.

There are some great walking and biking trails in our area so we headed for one of our favorites. We even strayed off the trail into an area being developed for commercial real estate. All in all I think we did a five mile walk.

I’m due for a seriously good sleep tonight, let me tell ya!

We have new neighbors!

by

Our neighbors finally sold their home a couple of months ago and they moved out this past Thursday and Friday. I really didn’t think they’d manage to sell their home since they had the price so high – very high considering they hadn’t done anything to the home and I’ve just found out that the kitchen doesn’t even have a stove! No wonder they were always using their deep fryer on their side of the enclosed back porch. Geez!

Anyway, the new neighbors came by on Saturday and we met them. Well, Chris talked to the husband a few times, and he and I both spoke with the wife. From what we can tell they seem like a really nice couple.

They’ve decided to do a bit of work around the home before they move in and don’t plan to fully move in until the beginning of July. We didn’t ask, but I suspect that they are currently living in an apartment. When we bought our house we kept our apartment for an extra month as well (cashed in on that first and last and as a result didn’t pay rent for that last month) as we did work around our home.

Apparently our area is quite hot in the Real Estate market. Our new neighbor told me that her agent and all their friends said this was really an up and coming area. Cool .. No wonder there are so many houses going up for sale and new people moving in so often lately! We might have to hang theater rope to keep the potential buyers at bay!

The new neighbor – the man – plays in a band so I’m sure he and Chris will end up getting together to jam. Both are guitar players.

As I said I only met the new lady of the house once, but she seemed very nice, down to earth and I have a feeling we’ll get along quite well.

Crazy teen drivers

by

Late last night I took the puppy outside to do her business before putting her to bed in her crate. While we were outside we both heard loud voices and suddenly headlights came at us from the street opposite our house.

Dumb teenagers! They were revving up the SUV they were driving and the driver must have put his foot on the gas because the vehicle came roaring right at us for a moment or two before the kid hit the brakes! We were both a little frightened after that. It made me think I’d better make sure my Life and term insurance is up to date! LOL

Chris had been getting ready to go to bed and he was upstairs in the bedroom window. He’d heard the kids voices and saw what happened as the vehicle came at us. He was ready to run outside and tell the guys off, but they backed up their SUV and took off backwards down the street!

They had to have been drinking!

I think I know what house that SUV belongs to and I’m going to keep an eye out for it. I wonder if the boys parents know what he was up to last night.

Trying to work up the energy …

by

I’m lying on the couch watching the hockey game that I mentioned in my last post, Brantford’s winning BTW, and I’m trying to work up the energy to go outside and plant the plants I purchased a week and a half ago in my front garden.

I’m not feeling so hot today so it’s easy to just lie here and say I’ll do it tomorrow, but those plants (bare roots and bulbs) won’t last much longer. I’d better go out there.

As I sit on the couch I’ve been looking at the chandelier that we put up in the dining room … I swear when we finally finish putting in the tin ceiling, a drawn out reno project, I’ll be looking at chandeliers. I don’t think blue lighting will go all that well once we’re done the living room dining room renovation.

Ok, enough procrastinating … it’s off to the garden I go!
