Insomniacs not so anonymous!

I’m doing my 4.30 wake up routine. Night three now. Flipping nuisance. I understand your chicken and egg morethan, either way you’re worried. You’ve a busy day ahead, the energy will be there somehow and hopefully sleep will come tonight. We’re caring for a two year old today. It will be fun but like you I’m tired already thinking about it. I see annie wasn’t here in the night, hope that means a better night.

I'm a wee bit worried that Annie hasn't been on. I hope she is OK.

Sorry to hear about your bad night morethan. I know how difficult it can be once those thoughts start its hard to stop them.
I was still awake when sailing by came on the radio which they play at 1 am so decided to take a sleeping pill. It worked but i still woke at 5, went back to sleep and husband woke me at 8. !!!!!He knows not to wake me if by some miracle i am asleep. Grrrrrr

I slept well last night after a day with Littlest, best sleeping medicine there is. Popped in to check on annie, hope she is OK.

I'm going to PM her, as this is not like her not to post.

Anyone heard from Annie?

I'm lucky enough not to have trouble sleeping but have popped in to see if there's any news of Annie and I agree it's not like her to stop posting without giving a reason.

Hope you get a reassuring reply to your PM, Marydoll

I have heard from Annie, I told her we were missing her.

Yes, I'm missing Annie too. I had bad acid reflux at 3am this morning and thought of her.

And I missed you all x .

Pleased to hear from you annie. Take care x

I will try cornergran. X

Annie,

Marydoll, thank you x

Annie, it’s good to see you. X

Glad to see you back Annie. Have you got snow? I think you mentioned a while back that you don’t like the whiteness.
I was a bit concerned that it had made you even more upset.

Take care x

4.35am and mug tea. How lovely you all are.

Must tell you about Friday, pain in jaw by ear, not from talking , couldn't eat, so no chicken for dinner, drank Ensure as three meal replacements AND slept from 11.30 to nearly 8.00pm, bliss, no other word, a nights sleep. Back to chicken yesterday and reflux again,

How I wish I could live on Ensure. Mountain road was blocked because of snow, Tesco couldn't bring grocery order yesterday, I was thrilled, not because of that white stuff, yes Juliette, it terrifies me. I thought - I will have to drink Ensure as meal replacement, then my dietician arrived in her 4 x 4 with chicken , very kind I know .

Gosh another epistle sorry but had to tell about my nights sleep, change from my nightly moaning

Annie how strange (but great news) you've slept so well on the Ensure - would it be possible to have that as your last meal of the day to help with the reflux or does it not make any difference when you eat?

Snow forecast down south today so my son has wisely decided not to travel up and persuaded GD1 not to travel either. It's not arrived here yet but thick white frost has.

Oh dear, town cut off, supermarkets and shops closed, I shall have to force myself to drink Ensure as meal replacements, not my fault and will not have groceries tomorrow either ! Have plenty of tea but will be out of milk tomorrow , at least have plenty of Ensure ?

Slept until 6.20am, will have to rethink my diet, hope the snow ploughs come to this part of town today , Tesco can't deliver , so have tried an order for Thursday.

A mixed blessing then annie, a wonderfully good night but I don’t like the thought of you being cut off. I hope you have enough to eat and can keep warm. I think tomorrow is supposed to see a general thaw so with luck Thursday will see your delivery arrive. Have you thoughts on changing your eating pattern? Would your protein meal, I guess chicken, earlier in the day help? How lovely to sleep so much longer though. Stay warm, look after yourself.

I don't like being cut off cornergran and having a phobia of snow and all things white can't say I am a happy bunny but nothing can be done, snow comes and it goes . I am trying to sort my diet out, still want to be size 10 ?

I have to report my first full nights sleep in so many months that i just cant remember the last time. I woke feeling refreshed and energised to catch up on things today.
Confession though, i took one of my very precious sleeping pills, and did not cut it in half as i have done before to conserve the 14 i am given.
First job today is to make an appt to see the gp to get a few more. I hope you are all as pleased for me as i am for myself.
Greetings to you all and a good day and a good night tonight is wished for everyone.

So pleased for you silver x

Thank you annie. Hope you are ok today and get your shopping delivered.
