AM- awake at 7am (PDT) after nearly 9 hours of (mostly)sleep🤩💤🛌. Some difficulty finding a comfy position, but, overall, better than the night before. Oddly, it’s not as bothersome during the day. My workouts are doable, as long as I modify both the range of motion and weight I place on my left leg for lunges, and don’t jump. So, I think it’s getting closer to baseline, with some more time and gentle movement🫣🏋🏻‍♀️

The old quilt that is in rehab was actually a log cabin variation called Lover’s Knot. I pieced it on the machine. I remember that my machine broke mid-way thru, so I *had to* buy another one😂The actual quilting was just around the 3 borders “in the ditch” by machine, and the rest was tied. This rehab job is, indeed, way more complex, because I am machine stitching rectangles across seam lines, and through all layers, like bandaids. And, I am adding hearts scattered around, where more thinning spots are, to really add a “scrappy look” to it. All with the intent of brightening it up, since it has faded significantly over the years. I’ll lay it out on the bed and get a better picture here, soon. Honestly, your interest is kind of inspiring me to get back on it. I need to finish it up by the end of June, so I can take it back, and give it to my daughter at our family reunion.🥰

Can't wait to see it, when it's ready. If you only could share a picture of it :thankyou:. It's inspiring and motivating.

AM- awake at 7:30am (PDT) after 9(!) hours of sleep.🛌💤🤩
Dreamt about seeing my second eldest (and suicided)brother at a family reunion. Saw him talking to my daughter across a crowded room. By the time I could get over to where they were, they had moved on to someplace else in the huge house/venue, and I was looking all over for them. Got caught in a line for food, and a convo about hot peppers with a couple of young gals that I did not know. They made me sit down, pinned me down, and made me smell cut ripe jalapeños while I was struggling to breathe, and trying to tell them I can’t be near or breathe in capsaicin without severe coughing problems. When I finally got free of that torment, I came across my (deceased) sweet stepdad who was talking to my dear (very alive) cousin. Of course by the time I could get to them, my stepdad was gone. Anxiety dreams are SO weird.🫣🥺

My husb is wonderful, just not reliably consistent for any single chore, unless I ask EACH TIME. He will haphazardly get the garbages out, like yesterday, also. When I had a plan for the space in the bin!🫣😝 But, not actually get ALL of the inside bins emptied, either! Oof🤯🫣

AM- awake at 7am, (PDT) after 8ish hours of fairly good sleep.🤩🛌💤

Today would have been my eldest suicided brother’s 68th birthday. Not the one I dreamt about, but the first one. I don’t often dream about this one. We had an oldest/youngest-love/hate relationship that left me quite angry when he successfully took himself out of life early….I still struggle with that after going on 12 years.

AM- awake just after 6am (PDT) with less than 8 hours of crummy sleep. I failed to take additional meds (ibuprofen) last night along with my lower dose of plant medicine. So many things to remember to keep on top of it!🫣

Husb is heading off to his see his mom today. He plans to stay in a motel, since she has added quite a few disturbingly violent outbursts to her dementia symptoms. Her loss of words, names and coherence is increasing with each visit my daughter makes. It’ll be safer for him to be able to leave for the night.
