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."

I am in thrall at you and OH ... an adjustment that you cannot really comprehend or prepare for until you are actually doing it!
Btw, reminiscing over your cartoons and smiling is NOT wasted time, it's an excellent use of time.
I rescued the spots on the carpet ... I think
Cheers
Aw I love Froggy! ️ Besides rabbits frogs are our ornaments of choice, and we've got many in all mediums. Clever you
xxx
That is a pretty cool frog. Love the colours.
I knew someone who stenciled frogs all over their house and I used to have a neighbour who had LOTS of elephant ornaments. I love elephants and turtles but think in captivity they are sad as naturally they travel huge distances.
I am very lucky to have to been on safari in Kenya.
Been out of sorts today but enough of me, how do you feel your pre move sorting is going?
Cheers
Well hello again. How are you doing?
The pic was from messing about years ago, a scribble dropped onto a couple of background papers to be the beach
How has your day been?
Cheers
Oi you! Never mind enough about you and if you want to retire early hon, go for it as we don't want you poorly.
But Kenyan safari? Wow! When, who with, any dangerous encounters, photos? xxx
Calm down Not physically out of sorts, more mood n stuff. Suppose foot grief hasn't helped but that has benefited from some rest today.
Did I mention I finally got a message re physio referral. Not impressed as it said under review. If need to be seen will get in touch. Whadatheymean IF !!!
Ahem post this first
Cheers
Ok safari was years ago in a previous life with my partner at that time.
It wasn't my idea as I am useless in heat and need factor 97 sun protection on a dull day in Britain and I wasn't sure about the ethical or environmental implications ... but I went.
It was amazing. We had one night in a 'resort' (straw roofed round houses) and then traveled by minibus to different lodges for a week before returning to the resort for a week. Pool and beach if you braved the rocky descent.

Cheers
Well I hope your therapy waiting list isn't as long as OH's clinical psychologist list was. Funny how when I complained to his ENT team he miraculously jumped to the top a few days later...
Phew, panic over that it's just your mood that's ropey. You'd better be telling me the truth, so think on.
Erm, sorting going ok-ish but I'll need to stick to one room and stop jumping around. Excuse. Cos I'm eager to bag charity stuff and it's all round the house. Do I get a sticky, please Miss?
