Family Visits!

Another fun w/e of family fun!  We had Uncle Mike and Aunt Mary pop in to visit my dad this w/e and the fun never ended...I haven't seen my dad laugh that hard since he was diagnosed!  It truly was a great way to lift his spirits!!!  Saturday we had a big dinner of lasagna and all the fixin's and then Sunday a nice brunch!

A quick family outing of shoe shopping and then dinner at our FAV place...Cheeseburger in Paradise!!  Fun times!!

(zzzzzz)OMBIE

This post is just about me, ranting!  The past couple weeks I'm having a major case of insomnia!!  I am exhausted and WANT to sleep, but end up tossing and turning, hearing strange noises or having bad dreams.  But the biggest dream I keep having is me dying!  They feel SO real!!!  It's taking a toll on me emotionally because I WANT to sleep but can't seem to drift off!  I probably get a total of 3 hours (interupted/non-consecutive) from start to finish. 

I'm not sure if it's stress over my dad and the whole anxiety of his surgery and recovery and him dying some day?  Not sure...but I think I need to see my family doc and see what she can do for me.  I definitely do not want to take any prescribed meds...very against that stuff because I do not want to become dependant on it.  I could drink a glass of red wine every night, but honestly I don't want to go that route either.  Maybe a sleep aid IS what I need?!

Anyway, I'm practically zonking out right now (zzzz)...literally typing with one eye open! 

Oh well...life goes on, and I will just deal somehow...:(
