I eat a cookie every other night or so. I just looked at the box and they're 40 calories each, not too awful. I also ate an orange, and am about to eat one more. <BR/><BR/>I hope the gun threat keeps your crazy neighbor away. I had a friend who had a nice wooden trestle thing in front of her walkway, and the local fratboys would swing on it and break it often. She started winding rose vines around it, and it was never messed with again. For whatever that's worth.<BR/><BR/>I take melatonin when I can't sleep.

Plus I have a husband who snores terribly as soon as his head hits the pillow, which makes it even worse. That's when I have to leave, go in another room and read for a while. Sometimes a snack and a glass of milk help. Sometimes not. Unfortunately, sometimes I have to turn to Benadryl, and then have a hangover in the morning from it.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, hope you get a real good night sleep tonight. :)Reenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135195331075251471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-854866039542819902009-03-04T16:36:00.000-05:002009-03-04T16:36:00.000-05:00In church my preacher always told us to pick up ou...In church my preacher always told us to pick up our bible and read it when we couldn't sleep.

Since I cut way back on caffeine, I don't have that problem as much. I hate to be awake like that.

Been tested: restless legs (like bugs crawling under my skin, hypopnia (where you keep waking up) and insomnia (trouble getting to sleep) and sleep apnea (i stop breathing while sleeping. Supposed to wear a machine for the apnea but I'm claustrophobic and can't. So believe me, I've lost plenty of brain cells. Lately, as I start to add exercise to my day, I'm starting to sleep a little - or maybe it's all of the medicine I'm on! <BR/><BR/>Have you tried reading a boring book? Taking a walk after dinner? Meditating (sitting still looking at a candle flame can definitely put you in that frame of mind).<BR/><BR/>Your hair looks just fine, by the way, but yeah, I'd change hairdressers if s/he can't be bothered to do it the way you request.<BR/><BR/>As to the neighbor's drunk boyfriend, I wish I had advice. You call the cops, it might make it worse. You don't, and drunken-he will do it again. Did you post a no-trespassing sign? Do you have a way to gate your driveway?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading my blog. We support each other!

But i do hate the once or twice a year when i can't fall asleep. Uuugh! You did a great job staying away from the cookies girl! <BR/> Gosh i know what you mean. Fruit is expensive. I just tell myself I'm worth it LOL! We splurge on fresh pineapple too. MMmmm! I wish i liked to cook more. But anymore its just like pulling teeth. I blamed on the fact my daughter turned 18 and moved out only hubbby and i now. But that excuse may have been good a couple years ago but its high time i get over it and get back to cooking! Healthier for us too. Take a nap!
