Zinnie! I'm a word person...drop-kicking a small dog sounds funny and when pictured is funny as well...like a cartoon. I couldn't do that, even if paid handsomely. Ha ha I wrote my post without reading you (on words).. Yes I understand the dog issue .. I was being dramatic!

This morning woke up and felt sort of rested, but so bleary-eyed - yet I worried because my energy was super low even though I felt like I had finally gotten some shut-eye. It made me worry that maybe my lungs were affected. Took me half the day to feel up to doing anything. Some of you may know what it's like to feel so drained that even partly catching up on lost sleep can make you feel worthless, energy-wise. It's almost 7 p.m. and I feel okay. But I'm telling you that it takes a very long time to get back stolen energy lost from lack of sleep. Nowadays I don't have many words! Pics take all my interest.. or a bit of music.. This pic reminds me of sleep for some reason. Hope today will be better for you.. The sky is a special delicate blue. (I wanted to start out this page with one of your beauties, too.)

It's quarter to 3 a.m. here, and as usual, the neighbors are being real jerks again. Get this: I got the bright idea to go to youtube on my tablet and find some suitable white noise to help drown out their tv, which wasn't all that loud but I innocently thought it would be a good idea. But they had other ideas, like keep turning the volume up and then if that didn't suit them, they switched to some hard bass music. It's like some game they can't afford to lose or something. So then, I turned on my a/c and that did the trick - for the most part it drowned out their noise. I'm not sleepy and my stomach hurt a bit from trying my best to contend with their shenanigans. So, playing games on the computer and trying to settle down. n this is just for fun - off and on, I dream of learning to play the sax:

Ah! Yesterday, found a yt white noise video with dark screen, really helped a lot - 10 hrs of rain and ocean waves - stuff like that. Didn't need all 10 hrs, ha ha. But get this. It was 8:30 a.m. when I'm woken up by someone's telly playing rather loudly - quite unusual - I couldn't even figure out where it was coming from - but now that I'm up and about, I think it's my upstairs neighbor - who hardly ever lives there. Life here in this cracker box is ... strange and unusual! XD When I first heard the loud tv, I wasn't even upset which surprised me a little bit. Now it's 9:30 and it does upset me now that I'm awake, because it's like 'if it isn't one thing, it's another' kind of thingy. I probly wouldn't be annoyed except that I can hear it from the other room, it's so loud. But! I shant concern myself because I'm going shopping soon.

I understand the thing about noise and glad to hear about solutions which work more or less... I always prefer sounds of nature over tv! Sometimes seagulls scream a lot at around 5 am here but I am used to it : ) Ps. I added another pic to the one on the previous page -- that's because it includes a 'whale tail' for you!

Thanks for the 'whale tale' pic. It's truly a beauty, not just for that, but the clouds lend such a textured backdrop for the branches, one looking for all the world like a dragon's claw! Your photo is something else! Really nice. p.s. if you can make the picture bigger, that'd be nice - thanks in advance.

My photo is just an obsession (thank you).. Btw I used to be almost scared of that emot " ".. it seemed like showing great displeasure to me, the kind which would last forever!

I do enjoy the animal world which means I also try my best to learn how to respect them.

I mentioned the yt videos with aum/om chanting couple days ago; later that day, I was cat-napping and I got this picture in my head of a lovely lilac tree that grew in the back yard of the home I grew up in. It was gently swaying in the breeze, and all I could think of was this lilac tree - how good the blossoms smell, the beauty of it swaying, and when you take the bunch in your hands how soft and billowy they feel. When I think of it now, I believe it was listening to those chants that brought this on. I've been wanting and needing something to re-establish a calm in my life. That was a very cool experience.

It's quarter to 3 am here, and finding it difficult to fall asleep tonight...so many nights like this BEE-cause of the noisy neighbor. Now, the thing about it is, they aren't being noisy tonight but that doesn't stop me from the discovery that if neighbors are noisy often enough nights and it often seems deliberate at times, one can find themselves conditioned to expect noise 99 % of the time. So right now, I'm thinking that this conditioning is what has paved the way for some serious fatigue from the lack of sleep due to cringing because I never know when the other shoe will drop. The past 2 weeks, a deep fatigue has been setting in and the hay fever/sinus problem doesn't help. (Plus, the upstairs neighbor, even though her and/or her b/f (I guess) are almost never there but when they do show up, it's like hopping, skipping, jumping, loud sudden thuds - maybe wrestling or something is what they do! - my life's become quite crazy due to these noise-makers.) Argh.

Wow - April. Been a while, and this thread was like maybe 6 pages in. And it was the talk I had with myself this morning in bed - pretending to talk to a neighbor about the noisy neighbors that brought on one of my episodes - y'know the ones where I have to take a nitro glycerin tab, extra metoprolol and aspirin - although I just realized I forgot the aspirin but the pains and discomfort are fading anyway. I'm keeping a diary via emails and filing them about a week at a time. One page full of a week's worth of journaling can really build up fast. While it has been a long time since I had let's say several of those episodes in 2 weeks' time, they are becoming a thing of the past - and quite clearly, as I've probably said before (but forget) that it's brought on by strong emotions. Yesterday, went to see an orthopedic doctor about my hands/thumbs - I get really sharp pains sometimes. He physically examined them and we could both see at the base of my right thumb an odd movement and he grimaced and said something like 'yep, you have no cartilage left' and proceeded to tell me about how they could inject a steroid, or do 1 of 2 kinds of surgery and then gave me a couple of brochures. I have been eating breakfast the past couple of weeks and not doing too well on that eating program. I love eggs, but eating so early in the day has always been bad for me - I feel like I have no energy to do anything. Before that, I'd been on eating anywhere between about 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. give or take, and I felt much livelier. I hate it when I see these articles about 'You Must Eat Breakfast'.
