[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 62066, member: 1991"] G'day, Linda. Sorry you can't sleep. Whenever I had trouble sleeping, especially when really ill or trying to cope, I would go for a short walk (so I wouldn't disturb anyone in the house) and sit and write my feelings down. Turned out, part of my problem back then was antidepressants I had been put on, for pain relief. The doctor saw what I'd been writing and got me off those pills, fast! As for constant lack of sleep - I compensate by catnaps. A ten minute catnap replaces two hours' missed nocturnal sleep. I don't count hours, minutes or whatever, that can only make your sleep worse ("Oh gosh, it's 2 am already and I'm STILL not asleep, I'm going to be a mess in the morning!") I just sleep when I can, or get up and write (or do Sudoku puzzles) when I can't. I just got back from my marathon editing session with the author whose book I'm publishing. A four hour session - somewhere in there she took her dog for a walk on the beach. It was dark as I left, the moon rising over the ocean. Absolutely beautiful. It was good to work solidly, knowing that I already had dinner thoroughly planned & organised. I still have more work to do on the book but the bulk of the job is done, from her point of view. She now has to read the proofs on the computer and see if she can find any last-minute errors. Meanwhile I'll polish the layout, do the table of contents and run one last spell/grammar check. I've got until Friday afternoon to get THAT done, then until Monday am to get the computer file to the printer. Here's hoping we have a better week health-wise for difficult child 3. He's currently feeling fairly chipper, "appendicitis" seems to be recovering. While I was busy today with my author friend, I'd asked easy child 2/difficult child 2 to take difficult child 3 to the school grounds and get him to finish the practical part of his PE work. She didn't want to do it because it was described as a modified volleyball game, and every time she played volleyball at school, she got a sprained wrist. So she asked difficult child 1 to take his little brother. Now difficult child 1 has a sprained wrist! Enjoy your Sunday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
