~Holiday Insomnia~

I am presently on a holiday break from work - we have the time between Christmas & New Year off. I had so many plans for this week and so far haven't achieved any - I've had a little play with my scrapping stuff - but haven't completed a page, looked at cleaning out my wardrobe but just done that looked!!! and have only read one book - I had planned to indulge myself with lots of reading time. I'm not sure why I have been so unmotivated it is so unlike me.....I was pretty sick a few weeks back suffering from an unexplained illness - lots of medications, blood tests etc and I suppose that took its toll. However I am wondering if the real problem is lack of sleep.....it is not that I am late to bed and early to rise (although some could argue that!!) but I just don't sleep well. Take last night for instance I went to bed feeling tired and tossed & turned for ages - it was a warm night but I wasn't hot....I couldn't get comfortable and had a bout of the itchies, then the thirsties so then of course up & down to the toilet....then at around 5am the Kookaburra's started making a racket then our resident Mopoke decided to join in the singing....they are lovely to listen to, but not when you want to sleep. Anyway I gave up, got up and headed into town at 8.30am had this thought that a new pillow maybe the answer to my problems. I spent ages trying to decide what was the best pillow for me I didn't realise the choice would be so great....anyway tonight I will find out if I made the right choice or I might know this afternoon when I take my "Nana-Nap" ( I have been having a little afternoon sleep during my holidays ).....but first I'm off to make some salads and a dessert we have some visitors coming tonight for a BBQ tea and swim - seeing today is going to be a scorcher at 390 Cel!!!!....so best get to it before it gets too hot to be bothered!!

~Getting Started~

OK - I have decided to become a "blogger" it gives me more "chatting" time with my online buddies and a chance for them to get to know me a little better....but there is a "but" - I am by nature a very cautious (read-private ) person so at times you may have to read between the lines or else have your "thinking cap" on, to decipher my abbreviations and the other "but", is.... be gentle with me I am not the most computer savvy person and it my take me awhile to navigate my way around............however with that all said welcome to my first post!!! :)
