Well. Mixed results. M. tossed & turned last night. I was sleeping like a baby until one of his tosses & turns woke me up. I got back to sleep but it took a little time … This is a classic delima of couples! Yikes!
We both got up on schedule again i.e. early vs. over sleeping.
I feel good today – he’s o.k. – tonight we will hit the hay early and keep on track.
P.S. We’re looking at moving & houses & taxes and … some of this exciting stuff is behind the t & t. Journaling helps me – do you think I can get M. to journal “it” away too?

Last night none of us slept. Michael tossed and turned in spite of the Melatonin he took. “Velvet the dog” had indigestion and roused me from a restless sleep every two hours. I know ’cause I checked the clock.
We woke up kind of grumpy but got up anyway because …
Fatigue & Insomnia Recovery Tip #1. Get up and go to bed at the same time. We get up on workdays between 5:30 and 6:30. BUT on weekends we tend to stay on the cloud until 9-10-11. Not anymore!
Fatigue & Insomnia Recovery Tip #2. Get more exercise. Just got back from the gym and feeling great! Had to tickle M. into going – so easy to keep that butt planted in the easy chair …
Change is easier with a buddy. (If you don’t live with one find one.)
Check back tomorrow … I’ll share our recovery – what we do – what works & what doesn’t. Pls feel free to share and post a comment or two or three or …

Massages, Musings, Girlfriends & More
According to Researchers at Duke and the University of Arizona the number of true confidants that Americans say they have in on the decline. In fact, since the 1980s, it has dropped from about three to about two. And, about a fourth of Americans say they have no confidents outside of their families – twice the percentage of two decades ago.

Translation? Americans are increasingly cut off not only from emotional support but from the therapeutic benefits of physical touch as well. Humans, not just Americans, are pack animals. We are “hard-wired” to thrive in social, touchy feely environments. Studies have proven that a simple hug – a little touch – not only lowers output of cortisol, a stress hormone, but triggers a surge of our two “feel good” brains chemicals, serotonin and dopamine.
by Call On Love & Recharge in Minutes
According to Suzanne Zoglio, PH.D., author of Recharge in Minutes, a simple 5 minute call in the afternoon can pull you out of that midday energy slump.
Why? My take is that sharing energy builds energy – the ol’ 1+1 = 3.
