waking up late

I always have mixed emotions about waking up late. Didn't wake up today until almost 10am. Don't remember what time I went to bed so it might just be normal sleep but I cannot be sure.

Sleep has been an issue for me for many years but I never used to worry about it before. Don't know why it is buggin' me so much now but it is. Feeling tired and confused and don't really want to do anything today but I have to go to the pharmacy out of some of my meds. Shit, I take a lot of pills. It is a real financial problem. I have to call today to get the healthcare stuff started and I need to do my taxes but I really hate having to do it.

I have like you experience sleep disturbances to no avail. Although previously prescribed medication to treat help me I have found that the best remedy for me was more holistic methods, such as meditation or deep relaxation exercises. Try deep breathing or massaging your muscles before bed to help relax. Also, aromatherapy is nice too. I use lavender scents.

I just learned on Dr. Oz that even if the doctor writes the presc. for name-brand, the pharmacist can fill it generic. But, it's better to ask
for generic before the dr writes it out.

It's the first wk of daylight saving time on the east coast and that usually causes me sleep problems, but not this yr, so far.

Don't feel so bad about when you wake up as long as you are getting an adequate amount of sleep. Try to figure out if you are.

    Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ.  Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...
