I miss a good nights sleep

So the other night I had a nightmare that I can barely remember. It made me bolt upright in bed and my heart felt like it was going to beat right out of my chest. I was also hyperventilating. My chest felt so heavy. Like there was this giant weight on it (anxiety maybe?) The weird part about that feeling though is after I managed to get back to sleep, I still had the same feeling the next morning. The heaviness in the chest not the hyperventilating.

I don’t know what the heck is going on lately. Usually when I sleep the most action you see is me changing positions. Every once in a while I might mumble a sentence or two. I’m starting to think maybe I should get a sleep study done.

Has anyone out there had one? Do you recommend it? What were some of the pros and cons when you had yours done? Please share if you feel comfortable. Any advice would really help

Staircase to eleven

I haven’t weighed myself in about a week or so. Between getting sick with no appetite and then wanting to eat everything once I felt better I figured I’d cut myself a break.

My diet is doing well, I feel like I’ve found something that works well for me. Small meal in the morning, light lunch and smaller portions at dinner. I’ve been walking the staircase up and down. By that I mean I’m almost down eleven pounds now. My focus is still making healthier choices.

Feeling better for myself. Stay tuned 😊

What happens when you mix snow and Thor?

You get thunder snow ❄. True to Ohio wacky weather we had a snowstorm complete with thunder and lighting. I have always loved listening to storms. There is something weird about seeing lighting while snow is falling at a very quick rate. We ended up with about five inches of snow. Three hours it was raining, I think the groundhog was wrong about spring being early.

Graveyard dreaming

I have had two separate dreams about two different deaths. Both times involved members of my family. Both were very vivid and when I woke up I had tears on my cheeks. I’m not a fan of my brain creating these recent awful dreams.

On a happier note I’ve started making soap finally! I’m going to make a separate post about that with recipes included☺

Feeling yucky

I’ve had this cold now for a whole week. Part of why I haven’t been writing. I’ve had almost zero energy. I sleep and work. Coughing and sneezing my way through the days. It’s been a week folks. I’m ready to feel better, feel normal.

what are your favorite remedies for getting over a cold?

Fire breather

When I was younger I always thought it would be cool to see a dragon. I have a very good imagination. I don’t think I need to see a dragon because I’m pretty sure there is one living inside my chest. It breaths fire whenever I have a coughing spell.

This back and forth weather isn’t helping me either. Polar vortex for two days ( negative 10 ) then the weekend was in the 40s-50s. My sinuses need a break. Pass the tissues and Nyquil
