Daily Waddled Again...

[davidgillon]

Two days running, for first time in a couple of months. This is progress, though I still need to restart daily exercises, and sort out my sleeping. After failing at sleeping at the appropriate time (or at all) last night I decided about 8AM I would try and stay awake through until this evening, at which point, having been awake 36 hours, I would hopefully fall asleep at the right time.

And promptly fell asleep until midday. Buggrit! 

No, body, 4 hours isn't enough....

Ugh, readjusting sleep cycles is so frustrating. Especially because one important tool is relaxing, which is hard to do when you're stressing over your sleeping.

Best wishes! I've got lots of med/drink suggestions, if you're want any.

Baby steps. It sounds like you're moving in the right direction, even if things aren't going entirely to plan.

If you're okay with sharing, I'd love to hear a bit about what you see on your walks. I suspect it's somewhat different to what I see on mine.

There's not really that much to see as it just consists of walking the two streets of our little estate, so even the houses are repetitive. Gardens in various states of upkeep or not, mostly settling into their autumnal colours, lots of cats, the occasional squirrel.

There is some nice green space not too far away, Fort Pitt is about half a mile away, if I walk down to there then I'm on a grassed hill with an old Victorian bandstand overlooking a big loop of the Medway, looking across to the Great Lines (another grassed area) and Fort Amherst (restored semi-underground fortress/museum) in Gillingham, and the waterfront from the Royal Dockyard (now a museum) to Chatham town centre, and across to Rochester, with the Castle and Cathedral (both Norman). It really is a gorgeous view. Unfortunately that's all down a very steep hill from where I live, and if I could manage the walk down, the walk back is a bit too extreme to contemplate.

It sounds like quite a different landscape to the one I'm used to. I think I've already forgotten the colour green and it's not even officially summer yet!

Well we've lost a lot of green with the trees shedding their leaves, and that's all brown scattered across the ground where they haven't been swept up. It's actually been very mild, we were still getting into the +20C range a fortnight ago, so I'm worried the weather is lulling us into a false sense of security.
