I know what it's like not to be tired even when I'm very tired...sleep doesn't always come. I have to stop myself and think when did I get up, did I nap, what did I do...blahblah,sigh,blah....I just started taking my Christmas decorations out yesterday and today...lots of stuff, but I have to keep certain areas as clutter-free as possible. If I'm don't, then I lose sight-of, literally, what I pulled-out!
You paint and I envy that. I really do. I told you before, and it's true, I can't draw stick people.
Thanks for replying to my post. I love this time of the year. It is a special time when folks seem to be nicer, more polite and pleasant. Do you see that too?
Melatonin doesn't always work for me. I have to be physically tired like after I've done 4 loads of laundry, shopped and taken buses and walked Dude.
Even then my mind races sometimes and I'm stuck wide awake.
Are you tired within a reasonable amount of time when you do take a sleeping pill? Lil'Dude got his vaccinations today so he's sleeping like a dog(teehee).
Hope you do get rest and now I'm going to have a cup of SleepyTime herbal tea...sometimes that helps me. Take care.
