We got 5 inches of snow! They'd predicted only 2 or so, but it's really pretty. It will be gone by tomorrow, though, with rising temps. The sun is out now.
I'm shivering inside when i read about you getting up or leaving the house at 3.30a.m. How do you do it?? 3.30 is the average time when i fall asleep. It's a bad habit, but even if i have to wake up at 9a.m. (which is extremely early for me!), i go to bed late at night, then browse my phone, until Tioctacid pill takes effect on me. Whilst waiting for the effect of Lipoic acid, i always drink a lot of liquid and run to the toilet, which obviously distracts me from my sleep plans, despite that i'm always pretty exhausted in the evening. But i'm almost deprived of liquid at daytime, and i have to drink something after all! Plus, it takes a lot of time for my painkillers to take effect on me and for my aching legs to relax a little. (It's not a complaint,- just in case, lol).It was around 40 this morning when I had to leave at 3:30 AM for work! That brought out my parka! It has warmed up to 55 and is sunny now.
The 3:30 AM was just for inventory which is a once a year thing! The early shift usually starts at 7 so I get up around 5 or 5:30.I'm shivering inside when i read about you getting up or leaving the house at 3.30a.m. How do you do it?? 3.30 is the average time when i fall asleep.

In a nutshell,- you're my hero (and, apparently, a supernatural being)...
5.30 is still awful...The 3:30 AM was just for inventory which is a once a year thing! The early shift usually starts at 7 so I get up around 5 or 5:30.
Sleep issues are so frustrating. I am trying to reestablish a routine for sleep. It's been all over the place since I got laid off, and now I'm back to working nights again. Sigh. I have started exercising again after several months off, and I think that's helping already. I've gotten 6 to 7 hours of sleep the past three nights, and it was uninterrupted for a change. Happy, happy.I’m so excited when I make it to 4 am lol.
Yesterday was awful. I woke up at 1:30 and never went back to sleep. I felt physically ill by the time I got to work at 8 am. I made it through the day though and managed to make it to 8:30 for bed. I got up this morning at 4. I feel like a million dollars lol. Fitbit says I slept 6 hours and one minute...woo hoo!
