The wee hours of the morning
January 6, 2007 in Excercise
Ever wake up at 3:00 am and can't fall back asleep?...........that's me right now . So, this was not a scheduled blog session (not that any of them are). Part of what woke me (other than the usual bladder call) was my achin' body. I had a massage after work yesterday (which is always good), but apparently I've overdone it on the Elliptical (exercise machine). My body apparently hasn't gotten used to it yet and my massage therapist warned me to back off a little. I'm taking a couple days off from the machine entirely to try and get rid of the soreness and I'll just do some sessions on the treadmill. I'm not kidding - my right rear cheek is killing me!!
I haven't come up with my 2007 resolutions yet - this seems like a good time to think about them. I'm already doing Jenny Craig - so the big, "Im going to lose weight!" one is already in progress. (By the way - 11 pounds!!!)
So, it's definitely all over now - as far as getting any sleep goes....So, now what do I do? It's now 4:00 am........how much longer do I stay in bed? How early should I go to the office? I know! I'll soak in the tub for a while. That will help my sore cheek and my really sore cheek. I'll get the Epsom salts going and I'm off to soak.
Hope you're sleeping! Debbie

Debbie, Awhile ago I read one of your books where you shared pictures of your design studio in your basement. Do you still do your creative work at home or at the office now? I was just wondering why at 4:oo am you would wonder about going to the office instead of to that cozy spot you had in your basement. Pam

Well, this sounds familiar! I have a pile of books and magazines next to my bedside ànd I'm lucky to have a DH who does'nt wake up from the lamplight or even the TV!
A friend of mine takes a glass of milk and a bisquit and she does some handquilting and after an hour or so tries to sleep again.....
Hope you're not sore anymore...and have a good sleep tonight! Francisca R.

Hi Debbie
I live in New Zealand. I'm so pleased you have a blog. I have loved your work ever since your first book came out. I did the Noah's Ark wall quilt for my little baby who is now 16. I still love that quilt and I still love your work. Your pattern instructions are the best. I have your red 'be grateful for everything' as the background wallpaper on my computer. Thanks for sharing some of your life with us.
Cheers

Give yourself a break! It sounds like you are trying to pack in a ton of stuff, so your mind is full. Give it a rest. Be kind to yourself, it sounds like you are trying to torture yourself.
Weight doesn't come on overnite, so why try to rid yourself of it overnite ( or so it seems).
Do some self hypnosis when you cannot go back to sleep, think of the most wonderful place you have been or want to be and try to rest.
