This is the third day in a row that it has felt relatively easy to stay in control. There has been just as much potential for losing control, but it just hasn't happened. I was worried about how I was feeling after lunch, emotionally, so I gathered up some kids and went to fly a kite! I just can't even come close to explaining how much better I feel, or why. I know it helps and I'm gonna do it as much as possible.
I had an appointment with the nurse practitioner as my Dr is away, and she suggested that I try a mild sleep aid, to see if that will resolve my concerns. I know I struggle more with depression and eating when I'm tired, so I'm going to try it. I admit to more than a little scepticism...she wants me to take it for 3 to 4 days and then only as needed. The info says when you stop taking it you may have some "rebound insomnia", so I may be trading a few nights sleep, for a few nights awake. Hmmm. It can also cause temporary memory loss! Yikes, I don't need any more of that!!
I think my living arrangements are weighing heavy on my mind too, even though I'm trying hard not to worry about it. The couple who were here last summer said they were interested, but I haven't heard anything from them since. Patience...
A great big thank you to Jen for finding, buying, and delivering black pepper pappadums! Delicious lunch today.
I think I have effectively avoided all the chores I should have done this weekend! Yipee!

Neither do I, Delta!
Love, elly
I think trying the sleep aid is a good thing! There is never any harm in trying and if it helps, all the better!
