I also find listening to the rain relaxing. I have a cd called "thunderstorms" and I do find that very therapeutic. It's the whole "I'm snuggled under the covers and don't have to be out it it" thing I think.

Those naughty cats waking you up again. I can't blame it on others I am keeping myself awake. I am not bothered as I have good thoughts of a lovely day ahead. Maeve and Tom will be here at noon for a few hours. They will give Maureen such pleasure. So I'm off now to get a hot drink and hopefully get a few more hours shut eye. Sweet dreams my feathered friend. Does the flock need a leader to help us find direction? No I thing we are Wild Geese all taking turns in front so that none of us gets too worn out on this journey. Will send music on this theme later.

Looking forward to the music now go and get some shut eye and have a lovely Valentine's Day with Maureen and your friends

Haven't been on my thread here for a while but been awake since 230 am and just can't go back to sleep. Think this lack of sleep is becoming the norm for me but it makes me feel so so tired all the time . Looking at myself in the mirror is a no no as the bags under my eyes keep on getting larger and deeper! How do other ppl cope with this ?

Maureen decided last night that we didn't need a quilt on the bed as it is too heavy. I went along with things but woke around 2 rather cold. So I retired to the back room but then she was wandering so I went back in the marital bed but couldn't sleep.
The advice on my S L A L CD is to get up if you have been awake for half an hour. Trouble is I am supposed to do something boring. But I got fed up with that and put Ali on the Tablet so listening to his concert at the Albert Hall. I Got You Babe just coming up with Kim Wylde.
I am ok thanks seeing Paul my Counsellor today at 10 and that will help. Then Angie from Carers Support at 11.30. So will be well supported by lunch time. Just one or two things on my mind and I don't really want to move from the coast.
How are you and John?
What I am trying to say is, you are a deep person, a thinker and a doer and with dementia there is no doing or predicting or planning and I for one find this the hardest !!! One can only adapt and react and that drives me crazy at times!!!

I think your last sentence sums it all up. Wouldn't it just be nice, even for one day, to plan something that you would like to do and then be able to do it. It is difficult to accept that those days are gone.
Our problem here is no immediate family so we would have to rely on the services that we can call in as things progress. It will be interesting to see how things go when we explore moving.
I do understand GL . Most of my family are in Germany and I miss them , my mum, brothers, aunts and so on! Even though I lived here now for 25 years it would be nice to go for a cuppa with my brothers, be there on birthday parties and just have that family support and net ! I do hope your councillor will be able to talk things through with you . How are things with daughters and step children? Have you made some progress?

Just been on a dozing break will P M on that front..
Oh help!!! Husband woke me earlier, in such a rage because he was muddled, and it was all my fault because I don't make things clear. Now he's asleep, snoring loudly, and I'm going mad with tiredness. Can't move across to the spare room because he gets so indignant that I've abandoned him.
I'll open the window a crack and maybe hear the church clock. ........I did, and now I can hear an owl hooting...very soothing.... That owl has a lot to say...
