This Won't Do, It Just Won't!

I am disgruntled, plain and simple. I still have not gotten proper sleep. I tried for an early night Sunday night and woke up some time during the night feeling ill, I took some medication, got back into bed and then after a restless sleep surfaced to Monday. I am starting to look like a raccoon! The dark circles under my eyes are not pretty! Add to that, that I have a lovely friend here, who has been through so much, but can communicate and he gives great hugs, but all I can do is worry about an uncommunicative, ungrateful, grouchy idiot miles away who shuts down, when he wants to, and well, I am fed up with myself, truly fed up with myself! This won't do, it just won't! How do I get the grouch out of my head? How do I get sleep? Help! I hope every one has a good Monday and week. Oh, and I read this on Facebook and had a good chuckle "All my friends get married or engaged, me, I get hungry" Don't know who came up with that one, but it speaks to me!

This is funny. Do you know the reason why you cannot sleep? I never sleep a lot and wake up all the time during the night. It has always been the case since I was a kid.

I can't figure it out, Anna. I think it might be because I wait to get my Mom settled at night first. How do I get the grouch out of my mind? Sorry that you struggle to sleep. Yes, I am more worried about snacks than marriage @LadyDuck

@bluesa It's never late enough to marry. I do not sleep well because I think too much. I cannot relax and I start to think what I have to do the day after.

@LadyDuck if I meet the one . Yes, I also lie thinking about all I need to do the next day. I guess we're not sleeping well any time soon.

My stock answer for anyone with sleep problems is to lie close to a cliff edge and close your eyes. You'll soon drop off.

@bluesa Sorry, it does sound sinister. I'll stop it immediately. We have only just become friends and I hope we don't fall out of this. Emphasis on the fall.

That was a good one! I'm sorry your not getting sleep, I know the feeling lately myself. Definitely not a sleeping beauty the last couple weeks. I hope we can both get some sleep soon!

So hilarious! Now I understand why you can't get your beauty sleep. Time is the only healer to rid yourself of that grouch. I believe you mentioned him before.

Yes, Dianne, I mentioned him before, and I should not worry about him cause goodness knows he doesn't appreciate it and I have enough to keep me awake already. I hope time will help. xoxox

Welcome to the "raccoon club". I am a member of it as I have some nights that I can't sleep at all due to some health problems. I really do not know an easy solution for it.

Thank you @marlina , we sure need to have a sense of humour about it. We will take the nights we do sleep and celebrate them, they just actually have to pitch up.
