I love Fridays. That my Zoom with Friends day. It would be more fun if we could get together but we are all of the age that COVID19 loves the most. So we play or complain or just love each other the best we can with the face-to-face connection. Look if we didn’t get to your top issues and solve them, then nobody can! Now if only we could figure out how to get a good night’s sleep, we would win all the awards out there!
Ending the day with another beautiful sunset:
Now it is fifteen minutes until Saturday. My brain is done trying to figure out What Day Is It Anyway. Besides, it’s night. That ventures into What Time Is It Anyway, and we know that is a horse of a different color!

Sweet dreams or counting sleep, too much friend and screen stimulation for sleep, but sounds worth it!
I sleep well if I make sure to shut down most electronic by midnight. I still listen to a book while playing boring games. Having to listen means I need to stay awarish. Otherwise, long passages disappear and I don’t even hear them. But my eyes don’t do the tracking so I have to work around my weird issues. But if I’m careful I can still lull the brain to sleep while not missing story-time. Pain makes that harder. But distraction is my key to that. How do you do it?
I pretty much read every night before sleep even if really tired, there’s something about 5 or 10 minutes with a book in bed that guarantees a deep, uninterrupted sleep for me – unless the cat decides it wants to go out in the wee hours.
If there’s something on my mind, I’ll put on a 20 minute meditation, that also works well for me.
We put a pet door on the bedroom door so if the cats, or dog need to go use kitty litter or even piddle pad I don’t have to get up and take care if I am needing the sleep badly. It does nothing for the occasional hairball. I read 1-3 hours and yes, that story takes me away from daily worries. I wish meditation worked but nowadays that is 20 minutes of worries that don’t seem to float away like they should. I can use it as a nap feature during the day. It puts a calm on the crazies.
