AM- awake at 6:30am (PDT) after 8+ hours of sleep, and some pretty vivid dream recall💤🛌😏. It included my daughter, at her current age (41), my stepson at age 12, (he is 36 in real life), and some odd events in an odd environment. Me trying on a skirt that had a tutu on one side and reversed to faux suede on the other side (!). My daughter had booked a plane ride tour of the area and my stepson was going with her. But, as he was leaving he was crying, and wanted me to hold him, because he knew his brother was dead (his brother did suicide, but it was when my stepson was 25). And, the accommodation where we were staying was some kind of garage with curtain partitions instead of doors….so weird…..🫣😛

AM- awake at 7:15am (PDT) after a restless, dream-filled night💤🛌😒.
I was awake around 4am with a clogged and snotty head, and struggled to go back to sleep. Remained in bed, regardless, then my back started hurting. Finally got back to sleep around 6am, then was wide awake and hot an hour later. Oof🙄

AM- awake at 6:50am (PDT) after 9 hours of sleep with no dream recall.💤🛌😏. I took a Prednisone dose last night at bedtime since the pollen count is HIGH and I’d like to still function. Also feeling itchy on my neck and chest, so need to tamp that down for a day or two. Another night of doggo faintly whimpering outside our bedroom door…afraid of slipping on the bare floor, I think, so he needs an usher/assist/invite….? Such a neurotic dog🙄🫣

Thanks! Some days it feels stupid to write it all out like that. But, it’s so easy to miss stuff, or forget, or just “lose” it in the chaos of my head. So I have a written out in my iPhone Notes, and copy/paste to a daily one and use it to prompt myself. 😬🥴. It helps me be consistent. And, interestingly, to adapt, when things are different.

AM- awake at 6am (PDT) after 7ish hours of restless sleep with no dream recall. 🛌💤🥴. Had prepped my bed for the dog trainer to stay with Canoodles while we are away this weekend. Then covered the bed with a blanket and slept in our sleeping bags. So, my “sleep system” was off. I was too warm, my bag is down, to which I am now allergic, so I was super stuffed up. Just a crummy night….

AM- awake at 6ish am (PDT) after a wakeful, restless 8+ horizontal hours, but less sleep than I’d like. However, I was not expecting to sleep much. My Husb’s stepmom wound up in our room, cuz she messed up her hotel reservation. Between her snoring, & husb’s snoring, and the strange venue (not MY bed) I didn’t plan on getting much sleep.

***our 24th wedding anniversary🥰

AM- awake at 7am (PDT) after 7+ hours of lucid dream-filled sleep with good recall. Dream involved an unknown-to-me female to whom I was magnetically attracted in the dream, and all the hoops I jumped thru to try and hook up with her. Oddly, it left me with a satisfied and happy feeling….😅
Outside is mostly cloudy, 50 (F)degrees with MED/HI pollen🌥️🌷🤧🤧

AM- awake at 6am (PDT) but managed to sleep another hour and not get up until 7am🛌💤. No dream recall this morning, but, when I was up in the night, I was aware that I was dreaming at the time.
