I hope you will be, Lee...I hope the demons in your head are not too terrible tonight 😥
I can't sleep, and guess what - the power just came back on! Kettle is boiled for fresh drinking water tomorrow...mobile phone is charging...thank you for your good wishes, I was really resigned to 2 more days of no power. And I will be able to be there for you better tomorrow 🙂

@NatureLover I'm sorry you cant sleep. Happy to hear the power is back on so quickly .
I'm not too sure what else to say, I am exhausted and I am in bed, but can't sleep, not even with the meds, and when I do finally sleep, it will only be a few hours.
So I'm just laying here listening to the noises.

I'm so sorry you can only get a few hours of sleep each night 😞 I so wish that would improve. I hope that when you can switch to new night meds, that will help...

How many hours' sleep did you manage to get?

I'm sorry to hear it was only 2 hours, Lee 😥
I see you have 22 and sunny today 🙂 Do you like sitting out in the sun at all? Do you have a yard to sit in? But maybe you don't want to see the other residents...
