I really need to try and get some sleep because this is all I got last night

I haven't gotten a dollar in a day on here a long time. I think maybe I had a dollar in January on one of the days I was in Mexico and was sharing pictures and things.

@JimBo452020 I don't know how you do it. I have never made $2.

@TheSojourner If I make a dollar today that will be 7 days with more than a dollar And one day with 2.45

Yikes! How old is your son?

@rakski Do you just have the one child? It's amazing to me that you even have one that old. I've always seen you as barely 20!

@TheSojourner he is 14

@TheSojourner It happens to me all the time now. But Claudia gave me her King size bed and even if part of my bed is used as a desk, I have space so that the laptop falls over it and not on the floor.

@marguicha that makes perfect sense to me! LOL

I have done that a time or two in my life. LOL

I hope you slept well. You need it, too!

@LadyDuck can you wrap the knee in an elastic bandage to give you a little support?

@TheSojourner I woke up a couple of times, but I could rest. My right knee hurts a bit today, I am sure it's because of all those steep stone steps.

It's only because we're awake to see it! LOL

@Ronrybs they certainly have a way about that!

@TheSojourner She is pretty skilled at it and has a lot of practice. She is practicing right now!

I, too, had a crazy night last night. I'm so sorry that you have those pains/cramps. They are horrible. What do you do for them to help alleviate them? I have to hobble to the shower, and stand under the hottest water that I can tolerate. I have also heard that light exercise and stretching before bed helps, but I know that walking tends to exacerbate the issue for me. I have been told that a stationary bike might help. Of course, I have to remember to be well-hydrated throughout the day. But that's been one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations. The more water I drink throughout the day, the more I wake up in the middle of the night to eliminate. *shrugs*

@arunima25 I've been using a rice sock on my shoulders spasm lately. I should think about that instead of the hot shower.

@TheSojourner A bit of stretching exercises help. I generally take a hot water pad instead of going under shower. Stationary bikes are better options for many after a certain age or when you start with knee problems.

No, I don't sleep through the night. About the longest time I get uninterrupted is about 3 hours.

I wish I could regularly get that kind of sleep, but my mind often has other things in mind.

I too here

He is one of the most spoiled animals I've ever known. He gets lots of treats. LOL

@TheSojourner Every time I go into my kitchen my cats come running for temptations. They love those cat treats.

@jstory07 It's like they anticipate our every move.

I don't think I have slept through the night in years.

@SonjaRae lol

I did get some, but a weird night. And, I could still blame you, if I wanted. *laugh*

@TheSojourner whatever you can throw at me, I will allow to bounce off

Weird night, but I did get some in. *laugh*

@TheSojourner My sleep never seems to last long enough. I seem to do better lately with cat naps.

I've been trying to eat earlier, but I'm not sure how long that's going to happen. With it going to be light until nearly 11:00 it makes it more difficult as we get closer to summer.

Are you able to take some sort of allergy medicine to alleviate some of those symptoms?

@JESSY3236 I hope you find some relief soon.

@TheSojourner yes. I have some allergy medicine, but they are kinda out of date. I have been taking some when it happens.

I too think so

Some nights are okay, others not so much

@coldplay8 I've dealt with insomnia for many many years off and on. And sometimes the illness certainly exacerbates the issue because of what it does in the middle of the night.

@TheSojourner your illnes is troubling you or insomnoa, if i am not intruding?
