Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?

I love this cartoon by Michael Leunig, 'The Great Whale of Doom'. Here's to sardines on toast!

Dear Bandicoot. Get in the car, go to the beach. Eat chips without the fish and while you are on a roll, walk into a barber and say ''Get rid of this mess, please.' I get it with everyone wanting you to keep your hair. Really, I do. But there comes a time when you have tried your best, have done everything you can, and it not going to work. There comes a time when this is not about anyone else. It's about you and what is going to make your overly complicated life easier. One thing about bald, it's easy :)Marg xxx

my chill out (leave me the f*** alone for 5 mins) spot.

I have been diagnosed 2 weeks ago, waiting for surgery date, problems with sleeping as well, evenings and nights I am the most worried, simply scared about all the uncertainty. Especially if I am on a morning shift, I get anxious because I can't sleep but need the sleep. My mind totally rejects movies at present, so I dug up an old pastime for anxious times: jig saw puzzling, started yesterday on a beautiful scene with sparkling river running over rocks, a church and snowy mountains on the horizon. It felt soothing just looking at the cool running water, especially since around Tamworth everything is bone dry at the moment. I jig saw puzzled, had cup of herbal tea, till I felt really tired, then fell into bed, I did not think about my cancer for the whole time and had a restful sleep. Thank you everyone for posting, it helps not to feel alone,

Slept well in hospital here again. Bit of awake time at 2am for an hour, then land of zzzzz again until 5am. Claire on nightshift saw my light was on and brought me a cuppa......angel! o:)
