It's only temporary G. This too, will pass.

Hopalong:
Did we mention melatonin?
Cheap, at every drugstore, and it does help...

Chamomile tea, brewed strong with two-three bags, can be remarkable for sleep inducing. PLUS, and this can be amazing, a hot bath (regardless of season) with epsom salts. That magnesium floats into you through your skin and turns you to pudding.

Try all three! Pop a melatonin (say 3mg, 5 is overkill), drink the strong chamomile and take an epsom salts bath (2 cups poured under the running tub faucet).

Report back in the morning...

Hugs
Hops

Meh:
Eh. Don't worry I just come here and write whatever. I did get some sleep and even dreams. Neighbors were away for the weekend so there was a temporary peace. It's not me apparently I can relax and get calm under certain circumstances.

Meh:
feel too blah to write went to sleep with a headache and woke up with a headache, c'est la vie,  just slowly waking up to think about more of life's stressful problems and needing an extra cup of coffee

think I will just go walk to the library drop some books off

Meh:
No there are no adult community pools close to me. There are only two small outdoor pools that are filled to the brim with screaming peeing children.

Today I picked up this book "Belong" from the library author Radha Agrawal. You know  to thumb through it out of curiosity. It's a little hard to accept and take it in for me personally as the start of the book is her talking about all her personal achievements, brands and companies that she owns. Also the very first page basically says we are born into a community and connected at birth (maybe not for people who have Nar parents). She is also a twin. So I don't relate to her. There is one page where she says that she decided that not having community had reached a CRISIS level in her mind. That is interesting though. Honestly for the author it kinda just sounds like one day she decided to stop acting and drinking like a college kid and grew up. Shrug.

She mentions 7th Day Adventists and for a second I thought god do I have to join a 7th Day Adventists church to find community.

I feel like I have too much going on to even think about community stuff. Also I'm kind of stressed out and in a bad mood. I guess I could fake it. I think it's hard to put community first when one is thwarting eminent disaster in other areas of life.

The author also mentions a couple studies and somehow it's extrapolated that being socially isolated is as bad for a person's health as being an alcoholic AND she points to another study that says being socially isolated is twice as bad for a person's health as obesity is. Not sure how true it is. If it's true it kinda just makes me feel worse knowing it.

Then she goes into talking about the ol positive and negative energy thing which is so freaking unscientific.

I'm probably going to thumb through the rest of the book quickly and take it straight back to the library as it doesn't interest me that much otherwise.

Be rich, act like a bubbly cheerleader and go hang out with people. Don't be judgmental but be judgmental.  Maybe that's not what she is saying but it's my impression.

Is not having community really a crisis. I guess that's a personal thing. Everybody I guess knows for themselves when is something a crisis level issue.
