| PLEASE. TURN. YOUR. DAMN. TV. DOWN. ALREADY!! |
Aug 25, 2006 10:10 am
Mood: tired, 1238 Views |  | I am so tired. I am an easy going person, but today I have been walking round like a bear with a sore head.
The reason is my neighbour. I think the world of him, he is 86 and fought for my country in the world wars, I have a lot of respect for him.
But I wish he would turn his damn tv down! He naps during the day, and can't sleep at night, so his tv is on until all hours. Even though my bedroom is in the front of my house, and his is in the back, I can hear every word. I was watching CSI yesterday, and turned down my sound as I could her everything clearly from his house! He has got a hearing aid, but never wears it.
The walls are so thin on these houses, I can hear his knife and fork clattering on the plate when he's eating!
I am starting to nap in the day, because I am so tired, which means me doing the same as him, and watching tv, or going online. I have to be up and at work from 6am (ish) so am really starting to suffer.
Like I said, I really do think the world of him, and he is not a well man, but I can't cope with the lack of proper sleep! ( I have respect for families with new babies in... I now understand what the lack of sleep is like for you! )
Does anyone out in Blogland have any ideas on how I can approach this sensitively? He really is a lovely man, but deaf as a doorpost!
I am seriously thinking about sleeping pills... but don't want to go that way unless I have to! Please please leave me a response and some ideas!
Thanks xx hope everyone has a good weekend xx |

| Insomnia! ARRRRGGGHHH why can't I sleep? |
Aug 19, 2006 3:43 pm
Mood: exhausted, 1284 Views |  | It's nearly midnight here in Oxford, and I am dawg tired but can't get to sleep.
Has anyone got any good remedies to help? (apart from a wooden mallet to my head!!)
Tried hot chocolate, camomile tea, soothing music, valerian tea... I am in a really good mood because I spent the day with my dad who I haven't seen for nine months, so maybe im over tired? Would appreciate some good ol' fashioned remedies from you wonderful people out there!!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend x Tracy |

Mood: hopeful, 1475 Views |  | A pastor at my local church gave me this... he knows what I have been going through the past few weeks and thought it would help me - I hope it helps some of you out there!
1 Thou shalt not be perfect nor even try to be
2 Thou Shalt not try to be all things to all people
3 Thou shalt leave things undone that ought to be done
4 Thou shalt not spread thyself too thin
5 Thou shalt learn to say no
6 Thou shalt schedule time for thyself and a supportive network
7 Thou shalt switch off and do nothing regularly
8 Thou shalt be boring, untidy, inelegant and inattentive at times
9 Thou shalt not ever feel guilty
10 Especially thou shalt not be thine own worst enemy, but thy best friend.
I hope everyone in Blogland has a good weekend x |

| Feel very low today.. a poem about my thoughts |
Aug 16, 2006 12:24 pm
Mood: sad, 1386 Views |  | I am looking out of the window
At the pouring rain
People walk right past
They cannot see my pain
I see couples kissing
That's what I'm really missing
All I can do is cry
As the world goes by
I can't look to tommorow
All I see is sorrow
I just hope I can sleep
Very long, and very deep
I miss Mike so much
He was my life
Even though he gave me trouble,
Pain and strife
I feel so much dispair
I just want my heart to repair
I just want to feel love
Please help me Lord above
I know one day life will get better, but I can't help it, I just feel really low. It's the anniversary of Mike passing on 29th September, and I am dreading it. Its just gone past the anniversary of my brothers passing, and I have been told the first year is always tough.
I feel so alone tonight, I have texted people I know and they have not replied to me, I only asked how they were, nothing like the thoughts I have blogged here. It only takes a few seconds to reply doesn't it?
Sorry about me being like this, I just needed to let my feelings out.
Thank you for reading this.. please leave a comment if you can, I really would appreciate it -even if it's only to say hi - Thank you xx |

| Flaming.. soo.. called.. friends.... |
Aug 15, 2006 11:11 am
Mood: cranky, 1312 Views | Why is it that someone only calls me when they want something.. or calls around?
When my husband died loads of people said "let me know if you need anything" - I have always relied on myself, but there are some things that I can't do on my own. I have got a dripping tap at the moment, and called about five people to try and help, only one bothered to come to my house. All the others didn't even reply to my email or text.
If I say I am going to do something for someone, I mean it, and make sure I follow through! I find it so frustrating that people dont keep their word.
Sorry my blogging friends, just had to get it out on here.. I am alone with my cats and they listen but don't get any replies other than meow!
Please let me know what you think!
Hope everyone is having a good day xx | |

| BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.. something for those who need a little hug x |
Aug 3, 2006 7:33 am
Mood: calm, 1456 Views |  | Believe in yourself
And know that it is true
There is absolutely nothing
That you cannot do!
First of all learn to love
And to yourself be true
For then you'll come to realise
All that lies in you
Reach for the distant stars
They ARE within your grasp
And you shall find a happiness
That throughout your life will last
Each star is waiting out there
Shining just for you
So remember this every day
In all you say and do
And never allow a negative thought
To creep into your mind
For your every longed for dream
You then are sure to find
Hope this uplifts the people who read it... you are all wonderful, beautiful people - please read this and smile xx
((((((((((((HUGS to all))))))))))))))))))))))))
