Niquas Notes

Niquas Notes

I thought I might try some 'journalling' . Just write a little blurb out each day, basically what I'm already doing . . . just giving it a name . . a title, I suppose? But to give it some 'umph' in my head I'm going to try & remember how to start a new thread & call it 'Niquas Notes' 🙂
It's not even 11.30am & I'm having a tomatoe & onion sandwich for lunch 🙂 I think I've been forgetting to 'get around' to a few meals lately. It's pretty good 🙂
I think I need to go into town today & check the post office, I may have a parcel to collect (evil ebay again!). I might get some meat while I'm in there (probably sausages ;)), I don't think I've had a lot of it lately - though I had Tuna in some fried rice the other night 🙂 Pretty sure I've got a couple of DVDs to collect from the library too 😉 {which means waiting until after 2pm at least as they close from 1-2pm for lunch} Today being Wednesday, it's an off-lead walk day, so I'll take the puppies along & drop into the local Forest on the way back home 🙂 I really enjoy that walk myself, it might be one I've done a million times, but that's sort of part of what I think I really enjoy about it?;)? & of the camp trips, beach walks & places that I have been going to for a little while now - the local 'home' forest walk still gives us the most freedom & me the most confidence 🙂
I think I am recovering from the xmas kerfuffle. I've just polished off a banana, which I would normally have at breakfast, so I've just combined morning & midday meals 😉 & I've got a bottle of water with just a touch of Apple Cider vinegar in it :x I actually quiet like the tang & I do beleive my insides appreciate it 🙂 I've been having quite a few nasty waves of nausea washing over me for a while now.
I need to start 'beating myself up a bit' about the housework! I did get some dishes done before I went away, but there's still a mountain of pots and pans there!! & my mountains of dirty washing are growing death defying peaks!!! I did also get 1/2 the yard mowed, but the other half is overgrown & the 1st 1/2 could do with a trim (00)! & the general clutter continues to compact.
I must look online at what the costs of registering my puppies will be in my council, maybe I can do that while I'm in town? If I got the genny going & started tackling the dirty washing, I could mow my little fella's feet inbetween cycles . . . & then we could go to a favourite 'look-out' spot for a walk 😛 . . . that'd be nice 🙂
Well, by the time I get online, it'll be past Potatoe hour. So I'd better stop blurbing & post 😉
Love to all that need or want it, everything positive gratefully accepted 🙂
❤️

Re: Niquas Notes

Well if that's what sounds good to you, that's where we'll lay {floor boards get a bit hard after a while} @outlander

I don't know anything about football either, I was just trying to sneakily ask if I remembered right that you were in NSW 😉

How did rest go for you last night?

Re: Niquas Notes

Yes please Niqua that sounds nice @Former-Member and im mid nsw
I didnt get much rest. Didnt stop fidgetting all night and go so over it i ended up in tears. I am so desparate for sleep and i just cant. All the fidgeting is causing quite alot of pain now esp at night. I was up at 530 to head to mums house so the kids could still sleep. Im exhausted.mentally and physically. I took them to the shops while i done a few things. Just at home now but mums not home till around 3.

Re: Niquas Notes

I hear your desperation I don't know how your still standing, never loan functioning! Have you tried warm milk & honey? There used to be a drink called Horlicks, you could get at the supermarket. What about a drop of Lavender on your pillow, but just a drop, too much is too much. A bit of excercise & warm bath before bed? Soothing music, that you enjoy, playing in the background through the night. None of these things will knock you out, but when those moments where your body is that exhausted that it shuts down for a moment . . . perhaps those moments might last longer?

When sleep won't come for me, the worst thing is the thoughts. They bombard me at such a pace & with such force I can't grasp them, & yet they won't stop! It's completely overwhelming. I get angry. I yell & scream & swear & spit, I just can't get it out fast enough for how rapidly it grows.

Sending you joy Claire

Love you

I dont really know Niqua. Adrenaline i guess @Former-Member ive tried all sorts of things. I already use essintail oils but will get a diffuser ao it works better and give that ago too. Music relaxation happy places etc medications.it drives me crazy. I havent tried milk and honey im no a fan of the taste at all but will try again..
I feel utterly hopeless with sleep.
