No sleep – again!

by

I can’t believe I had another sleepless night/day today.

I just went through that on Wednesday and luckily caught up on my sleep by having a much longer than normal sleep on Thursday. Maybe that’s why I didn’t feel tired until the very early morning hours today … but even though I was tired I couldn’t make myself go to sleep.

I really have to do something about this sleeping problem I have. It’s getting worse. I spend most of my days feeling terribly tired, yet I can’t sleep more than a few hours at night. Totally sucks.





What DID I do yesterday?

by

On my other blog, Tricia’s Musings, I just wrote a post about my really bad day yesterday. I only slept for 2.5 hours yesterday so I spent the whole day in a complete daze.

Now I can’t even remember some of the things I did yesterday. Lack of sleep takes a terrible toll on your memory. I have things that I do each day for the many websites I run and I basically had to go back and check to see if I did some of the tasks yesterday because I simply couldn’t remember if I did them or not. I couldn’t even remember if I took all of the medications that I take each and every day either. Odd.

Have you ever been so tired that you couldn’t remember things you did a few hours before? I guess it’s kind of like drinking too much! Strange feeling.

Trying to stay up to date in the nursing field while on medical leave

by

Since I’m a nurse on extended medical leave I’ve been trying to keep up to date on health news, nursing techniques and so on so about a year ago I joined a few nursing groups and I get regular weekly or monthly newsletters.

The information I receive is usually quite helpful. It ranges from how to deal with grieving relatives and friends to new ways to treat chronic health problems like diabetes.

I came across one article today that talked about a new way to treat acne. It’s with acne pills. Now I knew that there were some prescription pills out there to treat acne, many in the form of antibiotics, but this is something different. They are antioxidant pills. It makes sense, but it was news to me.

Do you join internet based groups or sign up for newsletters related to your career so that you can stay up to date as well?

My Crohn’s is so bad that I don’t know if I’ll ever resume my nursing career, but just in case I do get healthy enough to go back to work I’d like to stay up to date as to what’s happening in my field.

It seems like everyone is trying to sell their home in our area

by

Over the last few months it seems like 30% to 50% of our neighbors have thought about selling their homes. I’m amazed at all of the “for sale” signs that I see as I walk through the neighborhood with our dog.

The house immediately beside me and the one on the corner (two houses down) are still up for sale. Both have been up for sale for about a month. The housing market here in Toronto has apparently slowed down a bit … not drastically, but there’s been a few articles recently that say it’s slowing down. Hopefully my neighbors homes sell soon. I’m curious as to who our new neighbors will end up being. Hopefully we’ll get along ok!

If the other houses that I see up for sale on neighboring streets are sold soon they’ll be a convoy of moving trucks roaming the neighborhood soon! LOL .. like that will happen.

Are there any homes for sale close to your house? Are they selling slower than they normally do?
