A little better sleep

Last night I decided to try and go to sleep with no sleeping pills. They weren't working, so why even bother? They are addictive, so I decided that it wasn't worth it. I fell asleep around 1-2 am, and then I woke up with heartburn around 3. I took my acid pills and then fell back asleep. Then I was up again around 5 with more heartburn. I went to my recliner so I could sit up for a bit and see if I could get that acid to go back into my stomach and not in my throat. I ended up falling asleep in my recliner till 6. I went back to bed and slept until 2. I got some good sleep. I got up, and over my cup of morning coffee decided that I was good enough to go volunteer today. So I made Geo and I breakfast and got ready and went.
Volunteering today was hard. I was on my feet a lot, taking patients paperwork, directing patients, keeping track of who was who. I was able to help out a lot and I feel accomplished. But my feet gave out on me. I have bad feet and I can't be on them for too long. I lasted 2 hours before my feet told me I needed to go home. The kicker? I had to walk home. Oh well... I got exercise in. I come home and take a nap in my recliner again. It's just so comfy. I tried going to sleep in my bed but it just didn't happen. i went to my recliner to go on the computer, but ended up sleeping! So tonight I'm going to do the same thing- not take my sleeping pills. I need to go to the clinic tomorrow to pick up some pills, so I might volunteer again. We will see. It just depends on how I feel. I think making my decision over my morning cup of coffee is a good idea, since I'm waking  up and getting an overall feeling of how I'm doing.
