I grew up with rugby league and rugby union @Lee71 . Really only started watching Aussie Rules when Swans relocated from Melbourne to Sydney in the 1980s. And my husband grew up in WA and played AFL. I only met him in 1996. Anyway ... enough of that. The Swans won tonight! They played well.
You must be about to head off for the night @NatureLover so I will say good night to you. 😴🌷

@Emelia8 I seriously do not know what's up with my anxiety tonight

Lee, I am going to log off, but I'm trusting that your anxiety and heart rate will come down with the other tablet...I'm trying not to worry. I know you have a plan if it doesn't come down, but am hoping that's not needed.
Don't forget that @ greenpea is around all night tonight, if you need company in the night...
Am hoping that tonight you can get more than 3.5 hours' sleep...and that tonight is manageable, my friend...
I didn't even ask you what your doctor said about your lack of sleep...what did she say? If you reply, I'll get it in the morning...
I hope to talk with you tomorrow, Lee ❤

I hope the second tablet helps soon @Lee71 . Sounds like your anxiety is a bit worse tonight than it has been lately. Will you be watching the footy tonight between Broncos and Panthers? Its about to start.

Well ... perhaps the footy will help relax you @Lee71 . I hope so.
My husband is watching the second AFL match now. We have a second tele in another room, so I might go in there and watch the NRL with you.
