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 like the Dracula movies both new and old, my top two being Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Dracula Untold. I want to see the latest one called Dracula A Love Tale.
The It movie's are pretty scary, the only reason I've seen a lot of horror movies like the Saw franchise is because my dad enjoys them, such as the Halloween films, Friday the 13th, and all of the Chucky movies! LOL If it was up to my mom and I we would be watching the Hallmark channel nonstop. I follow a page on TikTok called Michael Myers of Decatur where the dad and young son dress up like Michael and go out into society to get funny reactions from people. Some of the videos they make are pretty cute and clever, and whenever the dad comes across a piano in public, he plays the Halloween melody while wearing the mask.
Here's a pretty scary Halloween movie that we're going to watch with my niece and nephews tomorrow night, It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! It's a yearly tradition watching that one and the Peanuts Christmas show with them, at least until they outgrow those shows.

Stacy, 'Charlie Brown's, that brings back memories! "Good Grief Charlie Brown!!"

The meeting went great! Meeting Bruce, "my younger brother", he's the spitting double of my 2nd oldest brother. Bruce recognised me straight away, that's what I get for looking like my dad!
We both learned a lot about each other. We're going to keep in touch.
When we left, we hugged and he called me "big brother!". He said he always wanted to say that!
I could call Bruce my "younger brother" for the first time ever!! I'd always been the baby of the family! But... 61 years later...
