@Appleblossom....
My eyes are a little wide... You came and you stayed!! Me too when I started....it was so weird when we both started: we all just pushed through all that isolation and self h.........
We just needed to be heard but also to get our own history straight on our heads too........
You were very strong those days in beginnings of Sane Forums.....We were suffering.
Your still amazingly groovy.....
Don't you forget that!

Hello Everyone 🙂
I'm just about to make coffee number 2 {I try to stick to 2 coffee's, I think you do too don't you @CheerBear ?} But waking up a little earlier often means I act the rebel & go for the third 🙂
I think the reason I'm waking a little earlier is because it's a little cooler & that causes the likes of bladders to contract a little more. So my staffy wakes up a little earlier & makes a little whinge & when I wake up a little he then jumps up on the bed, which is when I realize he might need to go. . . & I often shut the back door in winter, so I realize I have to get up & open it for him - that realization tends to trigger another, which is 'oh . . . I have to go too!'. Once I've gotten out of bed & we both 'go', I'm awake & well, that's that then. I do sometimes jump back into bed & lay in the warmth waiting for some light to happen, as I did this morning 🙂
I ran out of power last night, so I'm running on my secondary solar system at the moment; hopefully it'll last until the sun reaches it & I can use it all day, giving the primary system a chance to recover properly. Though the secondary system runs on my 'farm cars' battery & I'm going to need the farm car soon to get another load of breakable branches for the firebox - & it'll need a days recovery to be able to start the car.
I'm getting a little tired of the winter routine, but not the temperature. I don't want much, I'd just like it to be Autumn all year round . . . I'd say Spring all year, except spring out here is like summer . . . summer is like . . . hell!
Anyhow, enough of a rave, Thanks 
May you be able to see something positive through today
Good morning all, another long night's sleep here. The most recent new med I've started has really got me sleeping at night. It seems like a miracle. No overnighters for me lately. I'm usually too tired as the evening advances to do that, so end up in bed much earlier. I'm mostly not even making it to pumpkin hour. Last night, for example, I went to bed at 9pm. Then, when I wake up in the middle of the night two or three times, as I still do to go to the loo, I'm so tired I just want to go back to bed instead of getting on the computer and staying on it for sometimes hours, as I used to. For anyone who knows what my sleeping patterns have been like for all three years I've been on the forum, it is a miracle.
@CheerBear, thanks for the news on your DSP process. I'm really interested to follow it with you. So hoping it comes off for you this first time round. Great that you are able to settle with the knowledge that you have done all you can for it. Do the school holidays end this week? Hope your routine returns as soon as possible.
@Exoplanet, I hear you about getting tired of your routines. Yesterday I felt very bored of my life. Not just a moment or period of boredom, but one of those moods in which everything about it seems boring and repetitive. I think I would be really out of my mind with boredom if I didn't have video making. But I finished one earlier in the week, it took a long time to make, and I'm just not ready yet to dive into another. Leaves quite a vacuum in my days. May contentment find us quickly and more enduringly.
@PeppiPatty, @outlander, @The-red-centaur, @eth, @greenpea, @Appleblossom, @Faith-and-Hope and everyone, sending love and warm wishes for the new day.
