MARY,

A PSYCOLOGIST ONCE TOLD ME NOT TO THINK, COME TO ANY CONCLUSIONS, OR MAKE ANY DECISIONS, IF I WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. SO I WIND UP ON THE COMPUTER OR HAVE A GOOD BOOK TO READ. WHEN I FEEL TIRED ENOUGH AGAIN, I GO BACK TO SLEEP. I USED TO WORRY ABOUT THINGS OVER WHICH I HAVE NO CONTROL, OR TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF........................

I'M YAWNING, SO IT'S TIME TO MOVE THE CAT OFF MY SIDE OF THE BED AND GO BACK TO SLEEP. HE GOES THERE AS SOON AS I GET UP.

MARTY

It seems like I am always up at 4;30. Nothin to do except the computer. Nowadays its too dark to putz in the gardens! Boy do i feel your pain about sleep. Compared to now (early menapause and hot flashes wake me at 4ish) I used to actually sleep post stroke till lately. Makes life really suck sometime. We are in the middle of a real drought, scant rain for months (like since May) I'm watering like a mad woman, hate to see the bill for this....Going to hit 90's by this weekend-this is unheardof, usually we have a crappy Labor day and then indian summer but 90's! I make myself go to bed around 9 or else I'd be total toast the next day... Even Valium isn't workin so good, I took a teeny amount because it use to help me sleep!
