I sent you an e-mail telling you exactly what is wrong with me and why the usual things don't work. I hope that what I sent explains it all to you.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for caring, though. It's people like you who make writing this blog worthwhile. :)Pam the Yarn Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657141084842127887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913258552038531926.post-12431740684244043002008-01-06T09:00:00.000-08:002008-01-06T09:00:00.000-08:00Hi, I know I'm being forward and that I don't know...Hi, I know I'm being forward and that I don't know all about your situation from having read your blog for only a few months. But every time I read one of your entries, I think the same thing to myself, and so I want to suggest it to you gently and hope that I don't hurt your feelings too much by doing so.<BR/><BR/>It seems to me that you are in a vicious cycle with the whole sleep thing. Our bodies are not meant to sleep all day and stay up all night. I wish you would just try going to bed at a decent hour for a couple weeks in a row - say 10 or 11 at night - and go ahead and take your sleep medications so you get a good night's sleep. I know all those sleep medications have dire warnings on them about only taking them when you have a good 8 or more hours to devote to sleep. <BR/><BR/>I have never been in your situation, so I know I am only guessing. But if you could just make a committment to *try* it for just a couple weeks - force yourself into a schedule that matches what our bodies are meant to do - maybe just maybe a lot of things in your life would improve. You'd probably feel less depressed, you'd be more productive in your waking hours, you'd be seeing the sun a lot more and that always perks me up!<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry for telling you what you, I'm sure, already know. But sometimes in my past, having the blatantly obvious pointed out to me by a concerned stranger/friend/acquaintance has given me a jolt of reality that I've needed.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'd love to see more pictures of your finished object and/or works in progress! The yarn you're collecting is beautiful, but I bet you're making some nice things with it too.<BR/><BR/>And, by the way, I think the work you're doing at Folsom is awesome. Keep it up!Shelly Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412657935728729367noreply@blogger.com
