Good to hear you have been getting more sleep the past couple of days, @CheerBear, even if it has been related to having rough days. I have often wondered how you can function at all with the little sleep you seem to get in an ongoing way. I'm glad to have slept through a whole three hours without interruption overnight. Feels better than waking every two hours as is more often the case.

How awesome that the bird landed on your leg! What a special moment! 

The sky was starting to go a lighter blue as I wrote that last post, but I had my head in the computer screen at the time and only noticed it when I stepped outside again once I'd posted. I often have the courtyard door open, right next to my computer, for the cool air of this time of day. It was hot yesterday, very windy, humid with a dusty wind, I think from dust storms further west. For now the air feels fresher and a lovely temperature. A few birds waking here now too. 

Hugs for yesterday and the lingering blues. My listening ear is here if you want to say more. Either way, glad you are feeling to some degree better after some sleep. I love how sleep can help reset our moods.

I am feeling good this morning, aside from the usual tiredness after sleep, and not that much of it. Yesterday ended up being mostly a rest day indoors, as a storm started up near to the time I was to go to the physio. I cancelled because I didn't want to be out of it, and was probably looking for any excuse for a rest day instead of spending a couple of hours on buses to and from the hospital. I slept a lot and later finished all three videos of the performers at the event on Sunday. Happy with how they've turned out. Aside from that, spent some more time on the phone moving forward the slow process of trying to get my mum some social support from local council, which involves a few hoops to be jumped through. Also talked to mum herself. Other stuff too, but mostly on the computer.
