Thurs, Sept 5, 2024

AM- awake at just before 7am (PDT) after another 9 hour night. I’m tellin ya, with 9 hours, I feel almost human. Not nearly as “on the edge” of rage or tears, and much more able to focus and accomplish. So, after all this life of mine, I figure the keys to my life are: 9 hours a night, at least 30 mins of workout a day, at least one walk, ideally 20-30 min yoga, of course, whole food, some contact with a real person every day (besides husb, he doesn’t count!), and of course adequate plant medicine to keep the pain and anxiety to a dull roar🤯😎Now that I have that sorted, maybe I can get shit done!😅🫣

AM- awake at 7am (PDT) after ANOTHER 9-hour night!😎🥳. Outside, it is 65 (F)degrees with LOW-MED pollen. I feel like getting up at 7 leaves very little cool part of the day, but, I also like feeling less gritchy, so there is definitely a trade off to consider….if those 9 hours are not attainable, I have to take a nap during the heat of the day to add up to 9. ***sigh***

AM- awakened at 3:40am hearing rapid gunfire. Canoe was alert but not alarming (barking). Using our camera feed and motion sensor lights, I determined it was *not* in our yard, or against our house, so Canoe and I went back to bed. But, sleep eluded me for well over an hour. I finally slept, until 7:30ish. Awakening to sun, haze, 70 (F)degrees and LOW pollen. Yeesh, another poor night…

AM- awake at 7am (PDT) after 8.5 hours of sleep. No gunfire in the night, thank the gawds. Husb was quite relieved about that, as well. So, he slept like the nearly-dead. Doggo was pretty gimpy last night, acting like his mouth was sore….maybe from fetching the stick in the water yesterday when I had him go swimming for the first time in his short life 🥹….
Outside, is partly cloudy, 68 (F)degrees, NO smoky haze (yay!), with LOW pollen.
