Get better sleep

Thursday 8/14/25

🛣️ Good morning, My Tripping Co-Traveler. How are your roads today?

🛣️ I am wide awake -7:30 am😳… thinking about the idea “think of a happy thought” Hmmmm…

🛣️ Yesterday was a do-run-run type of day.. Started with Senior Center tai chi. Did pretty good there, again using a video.

🛣️ From there directly to my Computer Medic appointment. He confirmed all the photos I did in 2020 are on my external hard drive. We decided to leave them there cause I don’t have that much space available on my laptop. (That was my 2020 six month “scan all my hard copy pictures” project).

🛣️ Then he loaded pics from six thumb drives and compact disks. Also loaded a bunch of comparatively new pics from my iPhone. It was cool that the program would not download any that were already there! He also showed me on the laptop how to search for duplicates. During the night the laptop loaded 24,000 pics from the cloud. Talk about overwhelm! I am not even adept at using my laptop any more🥺

🛣️ I had a few minutes till next appointment, so made a quick stop at my bank.. They were closed (all branches!) at 3:00 for training! At least I could get cash from the ATM😂

🛣️ On to the Alaska Native Health Center for my first “prevent/heal diabetes” class. Today was about sleep. A new-to-me idea is to wake up with a positive thought. Other more familiar ideas: No water 3 hours before bed, box breathing, no tv or phone 1-2 hours before bed, sleep inducing tea at least 1 hour before bed. Personally, I use the Calm app to play sleep stories, play it again in middle of the night, if need be!

🛣️ Food for the day was good till I got home and ate the leftover mac & cheese… not as bad as cake, still tummy was not happy!!

🛣️ OK, it’s time to move on down the road🚙

🛣️ Please keep your prayers coming with praise for successes and peace for those who are in danger or hurting 💔🙏🏻❤️‍🩹

🛣️ I hope we all sleep well 😴tonight. 🐯Tiger, 🦁Pon, 🧸Äri, 🐢Buddy, 🐘Connie, 🐈Missy, 🐈‍⬛ Hissy and 😇 I send loves🫶 and hugs🤗

🛣️🚙💔🙏🏻❤️‍🩹🙏🏻💔🚙🛣️
