Two nights of peaceful sleep. Thank heaven for the Songza App and the Rain forest Sounds. One night, nine-thirty to bed, until six the next AM! That’s the longest sleep I’ve had in years! It seems to make a huge difference in the day. I seem to be able to walk marginally faster without breathing harder. This afternoon I cleaned one side of the garage: no heavy breathing. Blood pressure stays level. I realize that I can’t get too cocky with this, but it does make the concept of “progress” seem a bit more real.
Walked to Tim’s twice today, then got a ride to IGA, shopped and went to the Pharmacy. Called a cab from there. However, they didn’t call back or show up, so when Jimmy offered me a ride home, I took it gratefully. He is such a graceful and selfless man!
I’ve been reading a lot – mostly Jodi Picoult. Gripping, and I’m almost done. I’ll have to return to the heavier stuff in a day or two. Beatrix will be home and I can test my comprehension skills on her! No anxiety attacks for some days now. However, short-term memory is still the pits: forget names, even dates if they aren’t written down. Like I said the other night, I told you it would get boring. I can’t produce drama all the time. (Thank God.)
It’s a bit after nine: snack time, then start moving toward bed. My secret seems to be to get there early, so I’m out before 10:30. The rain forest sounds lull me back to sleep whenever I waken in the middle of the night. What a blessing. Next time…
