Sleep

[Anglesachse]

When drinking these teas it's "Pinkies Up!!!" ladies. Otherwise they won't work

May I just point out, that it will indeed only work if sipped from a "CUP! with a SAUCER" and not anything else.

Yeah but you've got to slurp from the saucer too.

Sleep is not forth comming. must be going around again. 3 yr old has an ear infection was up all night which in turn kept me up all night. First time the wife has said I'm greatful you have insomnia on nights like these cause you stay up with the kids. i guess it balances cause she deals with them all day.
I think tonight I'm gonna put a shot of rum in his cup then take a double for myself. This not sleeping stuff really makes me an irratable prick.

Glad your still around Tim.

Some trivial info for you, we have two dogs here. A Maltese cross Chihuahua I think and a bitsa (bits of everything), anyway, I don't think the bitsa will be around for too many years as she is getting a bit long in the tooth.
And generally I think bigger dogs don't live as long as the little one's, is that right??

Anyway, I did some research, and there is a place here in North Queensland that can assist in the training of a service dog for people with mental limitations and disorders, so once our eldest has gone to dog heaven, I am getting myself a Labrador or something smart and getting it trained.

Just waffling. Could not sleep last night.

I'm still around been fighting the Medical Review Board here and trying to keep sane as I can without killin someone.

Well Jimmy ,

I am quite partial to the German Shepherd (like ya can't tell) Not sure how I could ship you one but I'm sure we could try and figure it out.

Labs are good so are Golden Retrievers. Not sure about laws by you but in USA there is no specified breed. I'm glad to hear you are going to get a service dog. Without mine I wouldn't be here talking with you. If there is no breed limitations then it comes to two things first- what do you need them for and second personal preference. I have a Cousin who has PTSD Military and non-military related, he is 6'6 275lbs and his Service dog is a Pug. Funny to see but hey if it works it works. My best advice is be as actively involved in the training as you can. The more you help with the training the more you will get out of it. Bonding wise and sense of accomplishment.

Alright nearly two weeks of completely crap sleep. Thank God for the power nap. At least I have been able to get those 20 minutes of bliss every now and again. Tonight I logged 1.75 hours, yesterday 2.25 and the day before that zero...

You know when I was in the field at least there was a reason for it. When I was running my firm and we were trying to finish up some big job at the last minute, there was a reason for it. But now, just freaking work, nailing boards together, going home, trying to sleep, watching the clock until start work again...Wash, Rinse, Repeat...

Well just think about all the cleaning I have got done in the apartment. My ex-girlfriend would be happy and proud of me!

Okay rant complete. Out.

There are a whole lot of other factors which can contribute to sleep or lack there of. I have just recently found that my bladder has not completely come back into operation since surgery in May. I am up and down at night, and as a lot of you will know, its going to sleep which is a real issue as you can't shut your head down.

I know my head is like someone is holding down the channel changer on a remote control for the tv. Image after image.

Also take into account the day before. Yesterday I had it out with the 18 year old. I was ready to knock her teeth out. I got what I needed to say out in the end, but it left me all fired up and hence I could not relax for sleep that night. You also have to factor in all the other stressors both good and bad that fill your cup up. For instance, if there is a jerk at work who has been giving you grief, you will spend your night thinking of ways to finish him (jokes).

I thought that once I had dealt with a lot of my traumas, the horrors that kept me awake, that I would sleep like a baby. Well, that just isn't quite right. I occasionally will read a story or see something that reminds me and they come back, but I think we are wired all different now and then you also have to take into account military conditioning. You were trained to sleep with one eye open. After all this time, the kids and other people don't understand. My therapist told me once that it really needs someone to constantly tell you every time you wake that its ok. You don't have to be on alert.

Just rambling.

fargo get used to the no sleep. we are the vampires of our community now. we never sleep. we don't even sleep when we are asleep, because we are partially on guard with weapons by our beds. start biting necks it will make you feel better. ;) as for cleaning up, bah! i got bigger issues to tend to like my braincells deteriorating at a dramatic rate.
