Is It Still Only Mid-Morning Here?

@DianneN Stress does really mess with our normal routines. I am glad it was only temporary.

@Shellyann36 Thank you and so am I. I hope it lasts.

No, I don’t suffer at all. I think it was stress, because I am back to normal as of last night.

Oh, so sorry to hear that. I usually sleep for 7-8 hours every night without waking up.

@DianneN Lucky you! But i know how to wreck your sleep: You only thought you were retired. First class bell at 8 am!

@JohnRoberts

I'd wonder, too! I barely know what day it is.

Me, too!

Usually I sleep like a log as soon as my head hits the pillow. I believe I will make it up on Monday night. lol Thank you! I have to hop in the shower soon.

I have no idea, Ingrid. We aren't even entertaining here this long weekend.

oh poor Kuma @DianneN I'm so sorry this is happening to her and of course all of you. I hope she isn't in any kind of pain with those tumors. I'm glad Doodles is holding his own. What about you? I know this is hurting your heart but otherwise you're ok, right? I've looked up some stuff about the vitreous jelly in the eye and if I'm lucky the condition will correct itself in a couple of months.

Thank you! We had cool nights here and finally slept with the a/c off and the windows opened. I did get a bit more sleep last night. Doodles is holding his own, but Kuma developed another tumor. How are your eyes doing?

@rebelann Thank you. She isn't in pain, yet. The vet told us that as the tumor enlarges, her skin will stretch and eventually become tender and painful. As it grows, it will encompass her spine and shoulder, making it difficult to walk. As soon as she shows any pain that meds can't alleviate, we call the mobile vet. Right now, she isn't in pain. This is truly hurting our hearts. I believe my difficulty sleeping is due to stress and worry over her and for my son. He stops by at least twice a day to spend with Kuma. He cries and had a panic attack over it. My heart breaks for him, too. I'm so glad that you found that information and hope your eye heals up even sooner. That's great news. Did the doctor tell you the same thing?

Thank you! I will try my best. OMG! I just yawned while responding. lol

@DianneN I know, Dianne, thank you.I am sorry about Kuma and other worries that have kept you awake. I only take a half a sleeping pill, so I don't feel too groggy the next day, I just wish I could sleep a bit longer than 5 hours, but 5 hours is better than no sleep. I hope you are back to getting your 7-8 hours.

@bluesa I don't blame you for taking just 1/2 a pill then. As long as you are getting enough sleep to function well, that is good. Had a nice 7 hour sleep last night and had lots of energy today. Otherwise, I'm usually a basket case and good for nothing. Life is tough and does get in the way of a pleasant night's sleep, unfortunately.

I know how much stress you are going through, Catherine. I'm so sorry for all of it. Do you feel groggy from the sleeping pills? I'm getting closer and closer to my 7-8 hours, which is what my body needs. I know stress has played a major role in both our sleep patterns.

@just4him . I'll answer the door!

Thank you. That's what you have to look forward to when you come for a Florida visit and get up early in the morn.

@DianneN It looks delightful. One of these years, when I'm a best-selling author on top of the New York Times bestseller list, I will ring your doorbell.

I don't think I can either. It's never happened before. I'd take a nap right now if I had the time. Hopefully a nice shower will help.

Usually, I fall asleep for 7-8 hours as soon as my head hits the pillow. Last night I got a whopping 6 hours of sleep. Thank you. I can't wait to be back in Florida.

@Hannihar I understand.

@DianneN I am glad you have a warm place to go to in winter. Eilat in the South is very warm but it would be too hard for Sophie and I to go there. We cannot go on my scooter. She is better off in her own environment.

You may be right! I guess I can look forward to a good night's sleep Monday night.

@DianneN Enjoy your time. Sleep can wait for later.

@compslick yes I do

Thank you! I did have a much better sleep last night.

@Janet357 There ya go! I think you've hit the nail on the head so to speak.

@DianneN usually the cause of lack of sleep is stress.

I'm so sorry. It is a nasty feeling. My eyes are still burning from lack of sleep 3 nights in a row!!!!

@DianneN It causes my other health issues to exacerbate. I have severe psoriatic arthritis and chronic fatigue and this makes it like a leaded weight on me. My pacemaker kicks in too and makes my heart feel like a ping pong ball. It's so exhausting.

@noni1959 Oh, goodness! So that's what you meant when you told me you had to work on health issues when retiring. Bless you!

@DianneN - Relax and I am sure you will get back to your normal sleep routine!

@DeborahDiane I will try and thank you!

I managed to perk up with adrenaline after my shower and being out with people today. I usually sleep 7-8 hours a night and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I don't know why this has happened two nights in a row, but I hope it doesn't continue. I'm winding down now from a busy day.

@Courtlynn I hope your sleep does get better. I read that lack of sleep ages us more quickly. I'm only 21 and look at me. I managed 6 hours last night. We went out to brunch and have a BBQ to go to tonight. Otherwise, it's a pleasant day. I hope you are enjoying Sunday, too.

So sorry to hear that. I know you do have trouble sleeping. I don't know how you manage. Fortunately, once I showered and got out of the house, I forgot how tired I was. lol Many thanks. It was a fun day, and I will be going to bed earlyish tonight. Right now, I'm still revved up.

@DianneN It's okay. Maybe one day my sleep will change back to good.. for now, just dealing. Well hope you' slept well and are now enjoying this sunday.

Oh, I hope you sleep better after getting your teeth repaired. Thank you. I slept well last night and hope it continues.

@aureliah

@DianneN Thats great

This never happens to me or very rarely. However, adrenaline kicked in and I made it through the day. Many thanks!

@Courage7

@DianneN Welcome

No way!

@DianneN Oh, yes.
