Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

A good sleepy afternoon to you Ray, as I've just woken up. These afternoon naps are now a habit but I like them, a lot!
Reading your amusing repartee on vacuums brought me round though and I got visions of you trying to do the impossible with the vac, coiled hose, twin crutches while hauling yourself up and down... don't do it Ray, a live-in upstairs vac is the new purple 
I was buttering bread at dinnertime and thoughts returned to your post from last week. Always, since the year dot, have I spread butter up to the very edges and that goes for fillings too, as the thought of biting into dry crusts with just a morsel of whatever's inside the slices, is a no no. I've never been fond of crusts anyway so they've got to be highly decorated. Defo no scrimping here.
Well it did rain heavily earlier but it's not now, and the promised thunder seems to be the usual tissue of porkies. Your ant hill mob's got the right idea.
It's around this time I actually don't like my afternoon siesta as it's teatime 
which means I've to drag my carcass down to the kitchen.
Enjoy your evening chief, and hugs xxx
