I hope he gets to come home some day... GAHHHH

Mimi, your sleep issues are definitely stress related. Anxiety is a huge part of sleep issues.
PM me for some suggestions, if it doesn't get better.

**lph** · 11-04-2011, 01:22 PM

Mimi, that is fantastic news to hear

**azfiddle** · 11-04-2011, 01:27 PM

Mimi- hurray, hurray, hurray. Go take a warm bath and drink some chamomile tea and let yourself breathe a big sigh of relief. It's going to just get better from here!!!

**Biciclista** · 11-04-2011, 01:30 PM

I'm at work for 30 more minutes -- but I'm drinking camomile tea and (blush) almost fell asleep.

**indysteel** · 11-04-2011, 02:02 PM

Mimi, OMG that's fantastic news. I'm dancing a happy dance right now!!!!! Give Don a big hug and kiss from all of us at TE and then tell him to give you a hug and a kiss, too!

**Owlie** · 11-04-2011, 03:13 PM

Woohoo, Mimi! (now, go get some sleep!)

Catrin--vibes for your mom.

Dear self:
You've been eating crap this week, and see what's happened? Clean up your diet a little--cut back on the Dr. Pepper at the very least. There won't be nearly as much baklava, or as much of whatever-that-awesome-stuff-was. (Yeah, we know, your Libyan classmates are fantastic cooks.) Just ease up on the sweet stuff, 'kay? (Also, get some sleep.)

Shefly, thanks for telling me about that. Its much better knowing she's not going to be completely cut off. She's a tough kid, all this will do is maybe convince her she might want to spend Christmas back here with us where it's nice and warm.

Mimi, I'm so happy for you guys!!! Now go rest up!!

Catrin, I'm so sorry. Hope the doctors got it all and that your mom will heal quickly and easily.

Dear screaming dreams, please go away tonight. Thanks.

Dear LBS Men,

You are my lion, scarecrow, and tin man, and I mean that in the best possible way.

**Crankin** · 11-05-2011, 02:24 PM

Dear self,
Please get better. By tomorrow morning.
I am riding my new bike no matter what.
I feel like a sloth, with lots of eating and very little exercise.

Dear K:
This month has been rough on you. Please don't feel guilty about Kitty #2. You tried very hard to find a home for her before taking her to the shelter. You didn't know she'd be considered "unadoptable".

Dear Chair of that other Committee,

I realize that we have to work together, but you are not in charge of running my committee. Please stop telling us how to do our job. You may disagree with our process and our decisions, but that in no way empowers you to overstep your boundaries.

Sincerely,
Chair of my Committee

I love this.

Good day with the Donald. They took out the nose hose and the foley and one drain. He walked 24 laps and I walked close to 4 miles (including some of those laps) Tonight i ought to get just a little more caught up on my sleep since tomorrow is 25 hours long.

On my way home in the dark and cold, a young woman cyclist was keeping up with me, catching up at the red lights and stop lights. At the final light I had hopes of her sitting parallel with my car But there was this huge camper who decided to stop at the light on the right side of me, in the sharrow.
So I sped up so he could not pass me on the right. I was afraid he was playing games with the cyclist, so I figured if i distracted him, he'd leave the bike alone. Sure enough he tailgated with his high beams on all the next mile on our quiet residential street with a 30mph speed limit. But he left the bicycle alone.

**NbyNW** · 11-05-2011, 08:05 PM

Good for you, Mimi, keeping the lane clear for the cyclist!

Glad to hear Don is on his feet and moving around well. Is there anything we can do for you tomorrow?

**BleeckerSt_Girl** · 11-06-2011, 11:08 AM

Mimi things are sounding really good for the D! Boy it'll be great when he gets released home, huh?
