Because Emily Gilmore aka NakedMom reads this blog religiously, perhaps the most religiously of all who actually do read this blog, she often has a response to the things that I write here. She doesn't actually post the thoughts and responses that she has in the comments section but instead chooses to write to me directly (as many of you do because, I believe, it is far easier to do that than sign up for an account...I actually do not blame you for this and am sorry about the signing up to comment business, but I was getting so many spam comments and trolls I was forced to do that or password protect the entire blog!) and tell me just what she thinks of what I have most recently shared.
Today she made me laugh out loud. I told her I had to share it. Laughter is, after all, good medicine!
ANYWAY, the story about being tested by the psychiatrist in DC made me feel like DAVE - ooops, DAVID. Like you were saying things about me that I wish you wouldn't - but it's only a blog - who really cares? I was NOT in cahoots with that doctor - it just took you a WHILE to understand all those test results. Like 25 yrs? anyway, I'm glad you saw the doctor last week and I hope you are sleeping better now.
I am sleeping better now. Thanks. Actually, I think I'm sleeping far too well. The fairy dust is perhaps a tad too potent. Or I'm licking too much off my finger. Or something. I'm sleeping nearly 12 hours every night without so much as a muscle twitch. Not even a trip to the bathroom. Highly unusual for me. And I'm pretty darn groggy during the day. In fact, yesterday I took a two hour nap ON TOP of my 12 hour slumber. Sleep is definitely not an issue anymore. The hours I am awake, though, I'm still pretty darn speedy! So we'll see. I go back to my doctor next week to "check in".
This whole thing, as we know, is not an exact science. It's all a big fat guessing game and my poor brain is the proverbial guinea pig. There's a combination of herbs and vitamins and fairy dust and yoga and exercise that will work. I've found it before. I just have to be patient enough to find that blissful combination again.
