Being scared at night stinks.
Nicole and skeksi thanks for the ideas. I stayed up late watching election then read and got so tired lost my place in the book. A few hours sleep but no more. Just after I had an appt with my APRN helping me to sleep better. Ugh. I will try again tonight to do more according to the plan.
