I am sleeping a lot lately, or trying to sleep. Sometimes I have a lot of pain or wake up with a headache. Most evenings after work I come home and eat and then go straight to bed. We did go out of town to get some ink and other things on Thursday night, and then I went straight to bed. I could hardly keep my eyes open. Last night I took a "nap" from about 6-6:45, then went back to bed at 8:30. All of this is keeping me from getting here much at all. I thought maybe it was depression over Mickey and then Tinker missing. I have also thought it was perhaps that I just work awfully hard at work, but I really need it to stop. I need to be able to get at least a little something done at night.I need to come here and other online places in the evening. Most mornings I get out of bed by 4:30. Today I slept in until 5:30, but it is Saturday. I hope to be productive today. The last few days I have woke up with a bad headache. Maybe from too much sleep? Changing weather? I do not really know. I am trying to plan for the week ahead, so I have premeasured foods to cook for my breakfasts next week. I will also make a breakfast casserole for tomorrow and so that I can have some variety. I hope being prepared helps with next week.

Sorry that you don't feel that good, it could be that you are overworked, try to relax a little more

Personal life is a mess. I just have to wait some things out. Some work issues as well that are out of my control.

I am working on getting a few things done that are bothering me. I think that will help my mental attitude.

Sleep is a natural healer, so it's no wonder you want to sleep if you're feeling depressed or overworked. I often wake up with a headache and figure it's because I slept "wrong" on my neck. Or it could be the weather.

Even with having had the shot in my knee there are days when I have a lot of leg pain by the end of the day. Usually it goes away when I sleep, but not always. Last year when I talked with my doctor about headaches she thought it was from sleep apnea. Hubby says "but you don't snore!" and when the weather settled, so did my headaches.

Sleeping more than usual may be because of all your worries and work. I hope you feel better and try to take it easy this weekend.

Maybe you need a break. Stress can sneak up on us without us realizing it. Sounds like you have a full plate.

Hope you will find out the reason why you seem to need more sleep than usual. (I always sleep more in cold weather - that is if I can find the time to do so.) Take care.

Our weather has been very changeable, not exactly cold, but really nice one day and the pits the next.
